Lindmore Retreat & Spa - Luxury Family Home - Queenstown

Absolutely beautiful home, we had a girls weekend here and there was plenty of space! So close to Queenstown, easy to find and it has stunning views!

We had 2 families stay here for 9 nights and honestly it was perfect! The views are absolutely breathtaking and the house had everything we needed. Heated floors, heated blankets, a magical fireplace (with plenty of wood ready to go) it was so cosy. The kids enjoyed the heated spa and amazing views for hours on end! The place was super practical too with a washing machine, dryer and dishwasher which made life easy with 2 families. Laura was so lovely to deal with and always happy to answer my many questions. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

Absolutely nothing!!

Beautiful views, spacious well equipped house, great location

Close to the airport and shopping. 16 min to Queenstown. Convenient

PROS: 1. The valley view on both levels with the autumn foliage is magical 2. The kitchen is well set up and especially appreciated having the use of an induction stove top again. 3. Owners kindly offer the use of the pantry items. 4. I found the master bed to be super comfortable 5. I enjoyed the serenity and privacy (once I dispatched the workmen)

CONS: No 'luxury'home but a 20 plus year old house that is in dire need of both maintenance and a seriously deep clean. 1. The house smells unclean when you enter and especially going into the bedrooms. The smell of unclean soft furnishings. Carpet vacuumed but not cleaned for a very long time, bedding covers changed but the duvets and pillows not aired or washed etc. 2. The curtains unattached & hanging off at the end of rods - see photos 3. The Water Feature has paint peeling off, filled with dirty brown water and plant foliage and the barbecue cover is ripped & dirty - see photos 4. The ground floor tile floor are covered in streak marks from being washed with dirty water- see photos 5. Patches of paint all over the walls where marks were covered up - see photo 6. Paint peeling off the walls - see photo 7. When I went to get the vacuum cleaner out of the pantry, I uncovered dead bugs in that corner that obviously hadn't been cleaned properly for quite some time...see photo 8. First property I have stayed in that did not provide an information folder with instructions re: appliances, heating, rubbish bins etc. You are left trying to figure it all out for yourself. 9. Add to that, I messaged Laura multiple times while I was staying there to try and get some help and, even though she had told me that she would have her phone by her all the time, she did not respond to any of my messages. She was the only contact given so the house could have burnt down and I would have had no one else to contact. 10. The internet can be hit and miss and drops out regularly 11. There are weeds growing in the guttering that are well established 12. Cobwebs around furniture and ceiling 13. I paid thousands of dollars a week for peace and quiet and privacy to then find out on my second day there that Laura had organised gardeners to come in and do grounds maintenance all around a house that is akin to a gold fish bowl...

Large house with greta views and open light living areas

8km Drive to Queenstown - traffic and roadworks were annoying.

There isn't a negative thing to say about this location, Was absolutely beautiful! with the most spectacular views and most loveliest, kind host it made the stay 1000 times more comfy. Will definitely be back next year!!!! :)

The view was incredible and a very peaceful spot

Facilities were great including laundry, would loved to have hung some laundry on the clothesline but couldn’t find any pegs

Spa, well layed out, most of the kitchen utensils were available, clean

WiFi, no trash bags and outdoor trash container near house

Amazing views. Comfortable stylish accommodation
