Sierra Views - Queenstown Holiday Home

This was a perfect base for us to explore the region. Then in the morning and at night you have the incredible views to take in. Having three bedrooms each with their own bathroom is ideal for several couples or families with older children. Parking right outside the front door is handy.

The view is marvellous. The property provides a home like environment with excellent facilities.

None except connection to TV broadcast will be good.

The accommodation is beautiful, clean and comfortable for a family of 4. Location was great, a short distance from both Queenstown and Frankton and also easy distance to both The Remarkables and Coronet Peak. Spectacular views!

The hot water often ran out and required resetting. This was often in the middle of a shower, which, in the middle of winter in particular, wasn't the best. This also affected the heating system throughout the apartment.

the views

no hot water until the next day close to 4pm, therefore we were not able to take showers after the long flight. even washing face and brush teething became very difficult in the freezing weather.

The photos are accurate - the views and fit outs.

We paid $3200 NZ for 5 winter days, 4 winter nights of COLD water and room temperatures at 18C. The radiators are set to work centrally and fed by a faulty boiler. The boiler should also send hot water to showers. NO hot water! We aren’t into ice-water bathing in summertime, let alone in winter! We selected this place as we thought grandma would enjoy the stunning views while we were out as she is in a wheelchair. She was cold the entire time. The view was nice but she wanted to leave from the cold!! We wrapped her in blankets but this was not ideal. I contacted Bach care on day 2 and they told me how to reset the boiler however by day 3-4 we realised that this needed to be done hourly! We were there to explore Queenstown and surrounds, not sit by a boiler to reset it. Grandma obviously couldn’t get down the 20 stairs to reach the boiler to reset it while we were out. In the mornings we would wake up frozen! On day 4 the caretakers wanted us to hang around and wait for a technician to fix it. As we were leaving the next day, we declined the temptation of waiting around for the techie and went to Queenstown. Caretakers need to make sure there is at least hot running water in their units and NOT on my time. This wasn’t the ideal way to end our family trip to NZ!

A luxury property with beautiful views.

Unfortunately the hot water service was faulty. The water went cold after a couple of minutes in the shower. You had to then go to a switchboard , soapy & dripping wet, to re-set the system! Requests for help fell on deaf ears. Luckily we were 3 male golfers only. Had our wives been there we would’ve been out looking for alternative accommodation on the first day! Subsequently, we erected offered a 20% rebate (quite laughable) & advised that the owner would send in someone to look at it when they had a break in the bookings. (Heaven help those tenants in the meantime!).

The views were amazing, Property had everything we needed! Very easy to find and worth the money!
