GoldRush #1

Worth the stay. Positive: It was a very nice house perfect for our 3 generation family trip. Great views, comfy queen beds in all bedrooms and a well equipped kitchen. The streaming on the TV worked well and it didn’t feel like we were living on top of each other which was great. The pantry had plenty of stuff in it and cereals etc left from previous guests which did reduce the initially shopping we did which was great. Negative: None of the following really affected our stay but minor points which give the overall stay 9/10. The wifi downstairs is borderline unusable especially in the 3rd bedroom. A wifi extender would be a nice touch. The tree that rubbed on the downstairs window in the wind, I’ve seen it in another review, we did snap a few sticks and it made it better from night 2. There was a few minor maintenance issues that could easily be fixed. Squeaky bedroom doors waking up others at night (could do with some graphite on the hinges), the downstairs bathroom light was blown so only had a heat lamp to use until we found a spare light bulb in the pantry and changed it out mid stay and the drier leaks water. There was no place to store coats or ski equipment, some coat hooks behind the front door would be a nice touch and avoid clutter on benches or stair rails and if the shed out front was cleared out this could make excellent ski/board storage. We only had a couple of boards but if you had 6x adults all with ski gear it would be a struggle and get messy. And finally there was mention in the guest handbook about complimentary wine and bin bags, neither of which there was so either the handbook should be updated or ensure all items mentioned are available. Like I said all minor items so didn’t affect our stay too much.

Fantastic stay and host. Will stay again. Positive: Fantastic location with views all around from the balcony. Plenty of items in the kitchen to cook meals at home. Heated floors in the bathroom were an added bonus when the mornings are chilly! Negative: A few problems with the BBQ. But after contacting the host, the property maintenance was sent to fix the next day. A few steak knives in the cutlery selection would have helped.

Positive: Absolutely breathtaking view from the apartment windows ! See photo . Spacious and very comfortable and clean . Negative: The large bush that scratched against one of the downstairs bedroom windows in the wind which kept the occupants awake . But this could be easily remedied by trimming it back . Otherwise very nice apartment .

Great stay Positive: Great view and good location. 2 floors with great balcony views Negative: It’s on a small hill. Walking up can be challenging for elderly and small kids. You will need a car.

Fantastic for our group of 3 couples Positive: Great accomadation for a group of people, this was our second time staying as it was great last time and perfect for our groups needs, the house is great and views are amazing, very handy location between Queenstown and Frankton, we look forward to staying again next year
