Incredible home with stunning views

This is a beautiful, large and spacious home with breathtaking views of the Remarkables. We loved our stay and particularly The Butler's guide to the local activities/ restaurants etc. The location was great for us - we hired e-bikes and rode around the trails most days. The clubhouse restaurant at Jacks Point and The Farmhouse at Hanleys Farm are both great options very close. 20 minutes drive to Queenstown and only 10 minutes from the airport all make for a very easy stay. Highly recommend this home.

Beautiful Vista!

The Long House was a beautiful house set in an idyllic location near Queenstown. It had amazing views of the mountains and lake and plenty of room to cook, relax and enjoy our time. It was close to the Remarkables which positions it will for ski holidays
