A good and affordable option to stay for a night or two.
Pros:

Close enough to Queenstown to stay 1 night and drive to the airport in the morning to catch a flight. Much cheaper accommodation than staying in Queenstown and a beautiful scenic drive in the morning. Owner was very nice and helpful. Premises were very clean, and a big kitchen was available to guests to prepare meals if desired.

Cons:

Bed was small and mattress a bit too soft, but ok for 1 night.

Pros:

it’s a charming little villa with a vintage feel. The room was clean and tidy, and the living room felt cozy. The kitchen is quite large and has everything you need — we made our own dinner there. The host was friendly. The location is convenient, with a supermarket right across the street. A nice experience.

Pros:

La grande cuisine, le parc de jeux à côté, les livres d'enfant dans le salon

Cons:

La chambre familiale est en réalité l'ancien restaurant de l'hôtel au RDC. Aucune isolation phonique avec le salon, il y a même un jour de presque 1 cm entre les anciennes porte battantes condamnées aujourd'hui. N essayez pas de faire le noir dans la chambre, les nombreuses fenêtres aux rideaux trop petits non occultants ne vous le permettront pas. Vous aurez accès à toutes les conversations du salon et tous les bruit de cuisine ici... Ah oui, la première salle de bain et à l'étage , donc promenez vous au milieu du salon, montez un grand escalier et tournez à gauche vous y serez ... Avec des enfants c est quand même pas pratique pour u e chambre familiale . Bref ça devrait redevenir un restaurant /salon ou être vraiment transformé / rénové /. isolé comme une vraie chambre ! Là on dirait qu on hésite entre les deux 😔

Out dated reception technique.
Pros:

The common area and access to kitchen.

Cons:

Very dated reception strategy. Still in COVID mode. Key in locked box with pin sent via email. Not high lighted enough in 5 paragraphs . Especially on a phone.
Rooms adjoining bathroom was cluttered with small floor stand and no shelves etc

Pros:

Der Schlüssel war in einer Box hinterlegt. Hat gut geklappt, hatte dann noch eine Frage bezüglich Unterstellmöglichkeit für mein Fahrrad.
Hab innerhalb von ein paar Minuten eine Antwort erhalten. Konnte das Fahrrad sicher unterstellen.

Das Zimmer war sehr schön und sauber.

Es gibt eine voll ausgestattete Küche.

Die Lage war gut, mitten im Ort.
