Close to town but far enough away it feels like an escape. The facilities were incredible - special mention for the steam room. Bed was comfortable and room was always warm. The hosts were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to make sure...

Want to stay away from the crowds but within striking distance of all the best activities Queenstown has to offer? Live like a discerning local on one of Queenstown's most desirable private streets, and enjoy tranquility and security with uninterrupted, stunning views. Your stay is sure to be memorable. We're on the highly desirable Tucker Beach Road, and within a 5 minute walk to the Queenstown Trail. Why stay at a standard hotel when you can have access to a gorgeous private home on one of Queenstown's most exclusive streets? We're a 15 minute drive to the both of the ski field access roads, 10 minutes from Lake Hayes and Lake Wakatipu, 10 minutes to the airport, 10 minutes to all the amenities in Frankton, 20 minutes from both the Queenstown and Arrowtown CBD's, 20 minutes from 6 different golf courses, and 30 minutes to the Gibbston Valley Wine Region.

Jo grew up in Auckland and was educated as a pharmacist in Wellington. After travelling for a year in the USA indulging her passions for adventure (skiing, hiking, mountain bike riding, kayaking, camping), people, food, music etc, she returned to Christchurch, NZ where she owned and managed a retail pharmacy whilst enjoying the close proximity of both the mountains and ocean. Then, with a manager in place for a year she headed to London. 20 years later, having enjoyed a colourful life and career, meeting an American husband and having 3 kids, we made the monumental and best move of our lives to beautiful Queenstown, the jewel in NZ's crown. Martin grew up in New York, moved to London via a career in international media, met Jo and after twelve years of raising three kids in major cities, hit the "Total Life Reset Button" and ejected to the opposite of life in the big city. We have been Queenstown locals for 11 years, and via personal and professional pursuits, we know everyone in town and can hook you up with the best recommendations to enjoy your stay. Having travelled extensively with and without children, we are confident we know how to cater to your needs and are delighted to welcome you onto our property to your own self contained units. We value clear, accurate and efficient communication and are confident your stay with us will be memorable.
