Kathy
The house was beautiful everything we expected, view was amazing!. Deborah was very helpful in organising our groceries and hire bike to giving us suggestions for restaurants and activities. One of the best hosts we have dealt with. Made our short getaway very easy and relaxing.

Melissa
Excellent location just a short walk into Queenstown. The beds were very comfortable and it was lovely to have two lounge spaces for the kids. We would definitely rent this house again.

Lauren
Magical. Stunning. Gorgeous. Perfection. I can't think of anywhere better you could possibly stay! This home has IT ALL and Deborah's hospitality made it even better!!!

Samantha
We had a great stay in Queenstown. House was just like the pictures. The view from the balcony is stunning! An easy walk into town and to local restaurants - no need to hire a car. Local recommendations were helpful. Welcome gift on arrival made us feel right at home. Really enjoyed our stay.

Hilary
Amazing location looking across the lake and mountains. Deb met us on arrival and thoroughly explained the features of the home. House was very spacious, has everything you could need, lovely and warm, easy access to town, you can pop straight down the stairs and onto the walking track. Very peaceful. Would highly recommend both the house and Deb!

Susie Forbes
Amazing!
We loved our stay at Q by the Lake. It had everything we needed and more for a family of 5. It’s in a great location for a lovely scenic walk into town or just a 5 min drive to town. We highly recommend this place and can’t wait to come back!

Kathryn
Perfect home for a large family or two families. There is a lovely symmetry with two main bedroom suites with private ensuites on either side and two twin rooms in the middle. The symmetry and capaciousness of the home is echoed on the upper level with two wonderful lounge rooms with their own fireplaces on each side meaning the adults and children can enjoy their spaces enjoying the incredible panoramic views across the lake and mountainscape. The location is ideal with a lovely easy walk into Queenstown central. Highly recommend and anticipate our family will be seeking further booking in the future.

Translated (using google translate) Very special host, very enthusiastic and attentive! We just started to delay the time to pick up the car, the landlord has been waiting patiently for us! The house is not only big and beautiful, the scenery is also very good, very clean, the facilities and equipment in the house are also very complete, less than 10 minutes drive to Queenstown, close to the supermarket and airport!
