Terrific location if you want a relaxed self cooking place that has amazing views. The outlook is amazing and Arrowtown and Queenstown are only a short drive. It is in a suburban location so no restaurants etc.

Pretty and comfortable

Pretty and comfortable. Only one concern is that the cleaning staff were walking in front of our room which has large windows and this reduced our privacy at that time.
