Hensman Haven - Queenstown Holiday Home

Amazing views, however some blocked from overgrown neighbouring trees since listing photos were taken

Dirty, smelly, in desperate need of maintenance and new furniture throughout. Master bed and pillows so uncomfortable. Chipped kitchen benches, ripped carpet, damaged walls everywhere, light bulbs need replaced, batteries in remote flat, gas oven hobs not all working. Bathrooms need fixing and toilets need a deep clean. Parking questionable/steep - no good if you have tow bar or low car. Diabolical price for such a damaged property.

The views the views the views! Big open windows on every level and in every room. And the hot tub is a great plus for watching the stars at night. Beds were comfortable and the showers and bathrooms were quite nice.

The main living room sofa is in really bad shape and not comfortable at all. Not sure why they don't just replace it. Hopefully this review will inspire them. Wouldn't sit there for any amount of time, especially not to relax and watch TV or a movie. Which is a shame because the view is amazing on every level and the room is a great size. We used the one in the kitchen one night and it was fine to watch a movie but would've been nice to use the bigger living room with the larger tv. There are a LOT of stairs but my mom who has muscular dystrophy was still able to get up and down and we were prepared for it. Definitely a lot of stairs but it's built on a steep mountain, so to be expected. Strange layout overall but it's nice especially for the value. If they just replaced the furniture in the main living room we would give it a much better rating.

My god! This place was stunning in every way, the view from every room was just stunning and the location perfect. I cannot get over how fantastic it was to sit in the hot tub and look out across the lake and mountains, absolutely stunning 11/10 spot.

On arrival how wonderful to have all the heating on and lights very comfortable. The spa was a delight loved the views. Perfect for our family of five. It was fabulous and sad we had to leave.

Nothing. Suited us perfectly. But please note there are a heap of stairs!!

Lots of space. Huge beds. Lovely hot tub.

The fourth bedroom is a completely self-contained unit downstairs with only outside access. I am sure this would work well for some families but it did not for us with two small children. It was a disappointment as we specifically needed 4 bedrooms and selected this property for that against a property with 3 bedrooms, much closer to town and cheaper.

Beautiful home in an incredible location with breathtaking views.

The floor in the master bathroom was freezing, with no source of heat in the room. It eventually warmed up at the end of our trip. And was fine. Only other minor inconvenience is the lower room occupants have to go outside to get to the main living area. But totally worth it for the views
