Exceptional

Good idea, bad execution

Disliked: The room was nowhere near as private as we were expecting, you could hear the footsteps from the adjoining room at all times.. especially when they are shuffling around from 8-10 to check-out, car parking was not clear so we had the neighbouring couple with their car right by our window, and using our side of the walkway and steps which had large windows and was really inconvenient especially considering it is a studio room. The room was also just equipped with a lot of faulty/ill-performing products ie. unreliable wifi, dated tv that only sometimes responds to the remote (this wasn’t even on the right wifi so that took a hot minute to sort out so we could access streaming apps), bathroom heater was sparking so we did not use, outdoor sensor light would turn on for half a second (was off before we’d put the car in park so we were using our phone for light), pedal bin.. but the pedal was basically not working etc. For the most part, they’re minor issues, but there were so many of them, it all added up and really took away from the experience.

Cosy stay that gives you...

Liked: The location is great if you want to be a little bit out of the Queenstown centre. Warm and cosy feel to the property.
Disliked: It isn’t as secluded as the images in the photos make it seem. The cottages are also split into two which isn’t made clear in the images.
