High on the Hill
What a brilliant property. We had the most fun, the best views - nothing like waking up to that vista - I'm going to miss that most of all. Great amenities, highly recommend hiring a car - that hill is not for the faint-hearted!

Queenstown Luxury
This property is truly amazing, the photos are exactly what you will find, and the view is just stunning. Located close to town so very handy. You will need to drive to town unless you are very fit and enjoy walking up a steep hill. The house is fully equipped with everything you might need. You won’t want to leave!

Great property for a big group & good for entertaining.
Perfect for a big group or family out friends. 3 stories. 3 double bedrooms with En-suite on 1st floor, living on 2nd & large master on 3rd. Double car garage, but won’t take ski racks on car. Only downside is the steep roads on the top of the hill, icey in winter, but great views.

Absolutely fantastic!
Papillon is an amazing property. We stayed with another family so where 4 adults, 4 teenagers. It is very spacious.
The kitchen was very well equipped, with good quality dinnerware, cooking utensils etc. Bathrooms immaculate.
Movie room was perfect for teenagers, spa pool an added bonus. Living space, and views where wonderful.
The whole property was extremely clean, an very well appointed.
The property managers where great to deal with. Information prior to arrival was forthcoming. They where there to greet on arrival.
We had a problem with the oven and they came first thing the next day. (only a fuse)
We would highly recommend.
