Brilliant house we will stay again ;-)
The Spruce Hus is so beautiful on the outside and the inside, very clean, and very well preserved. It is small yet we do not feel cramped or tight in anyway. Everything was designed and built to a high standard and well thought out for use and convenience. The seating area in front of the house is one of the many reasons that lured us to Spruce Hus and it just reinforced that we made the right decision when we did sit there for breakfast, it is just so refreshing. We also like the serene suburban location that makes us feel like home, unlike the busy and crowded city. Anita and John are also very nice with constant welcoming and helpful messages before our arrival. When we arrived around 9-ich in the evening, Anita came out of their house in the back to greet us and made sure we are in comfortably, very kind of her indeed. We would not hesitate to stay again and will keep the place in mind as a base for working from anywhere option. Anita and John, thanks for your beautiful house and your hospitality, we had a great stay ;-)

Ideal vacation rental for couples
Spruce Hus is the perfect place for an extended stay if you want a balance of scenery, outdoor activity and easy access to town without the hassle of getting caught in local rush hours. John and Anita were perfect hosts and provided thorough and accurate information re the property and local sights, activities and dining options.

Home from home for 2
Spruce Hus was spotlessly clean, comfortable and we'll stocked with everything we needed for a 7 nights stay. Our hosts were extremely helpful, friendly and welcoming without being at all intrusive. Extensive very welcome breakfast supplies were provided. We enjoyed staying in this area, good for walks, the water taxi to town and just a few kilometers to the centre of Queenstown. We enjoyed the calmer suburban atmosphere in this location. A wonderful restful holiday, highly recommend Spruce Hus and thank you again to our lovely hosts.

Cozy space with a 20 minute drive from downtown Queenstown
We very much enjoyed our stay! The place was clean and included all of the basics plus a nice surprise of baked goods from the owners. There were enough dishes to cook up a meal for 2 people. We used the in unit clothes washer and dryer (the dryer was located in the garage which was about a 10 second walk from the front door). The neighborhood was high-end with many modern houses and had some construction happening during the day. A 2 minute walk toward the back of the property led to the lake shore with beautiful views and a walking path that met up with the trail around Jack's Point Golf course. The house is a 20 to 30 minute drive into Queenstown, depending on traffic, and about 10 minutes from the airport.

Great place to stay
Everything was lovely, quiet and private - a home away from home. Full kitchen facilities meant we were able to cook meals easily. Thanks for the fruit, cake and trail mix. Didn't need to do laundry, but terrific that washing and drying was available.

A great place to stay while in the Queenstown area.
John and Anita had some treats for us and came to welcome us upon our arrival. There property is a short drive into the beautiful little city of Queenstown. With much to do in the area, it was great to come back to a clean and tidy unit. Thanks for having us!
