The villa was spacious, very well equipped, and super relaxing. The inside was super comfy to hang out in and the porch was oriented such that you felt protected from road noise and it was lovely to sit outside with a glass out wine or coffee. The location is perfect for being away from the hubbub and visiting both Queenstown and Wanaka (halfway btwn them). Our host was easy to communicate with and everything was no hassle. We would absolutely stay again.
