Gorgeous hotel :)
Pros:

What a cute hotel! Beautifully cared for and the room was so quaint and adorable. We loved the handmade soap and shampoo, it was a lovely touch! Good hot showers and plenty of cooking equipment in the communal kitchen. Self check-in is also fantastic!

Cons:

Nothing, I loved our stay and I wish we could have stayed another night.

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
