We had a very lovely and comfortable stay with Jon, it was more than enough space for our party of 7, three being young children, it had everything we needed. It's just under 20 mins to the main town, had an internal access garage which was very helpful for small kids and bad weather. Jon was extremely easy to get a hold of and helpful. Very satisfied.

We had a large group with 6 adults and an infant, and the place provided the required space and more. Jon's place can comfortably accommodate 8 adults with four rooms and two bathrooms. Our four-night stay was very comfortable; the house was very clean, and the listed facilities were available and functional. We enjoyed the media room immensely to while away the long winter nights. Ample parking available to take at least 4 vehicles. The proximity to Queenstown airport was also convenient since we had an early morning flight to catch.

We had a family milestone celebration so the house suited us perfectly with the 4 bedrooms, including having a toddler and cot provided. Well stocked with essentials including coffee machine. Plenty of heating options including a nice gas fire for ambience. Location ideal for the airport, tourist spots and local PAK'nSAVE. Views of mountains from the house were superb. Highly recommend.

Jon's place suited our small family beautifully — and we only used two bedrooms, you could easily fit two families here! This was the BEST bed we've slept in across 19 Airbnbs in 4 months. The media room is very fun — I don't think I've ever seen a TV that big.

It was an absolute pleasure to stay at Jon's home once again. The home is definitely a 'home-away-from-home' and we enjoyed the close proximity to Queenstown and the Airport. A great location, beautiful home and the perfect host!

This place punches beyond its weight. Amazingly stocked kitchen in terms of both equipment and all the basics. We all enjoyed the cinema room with the amazing TV and sound system.

Queenstown Airport is just an 8-minute drive from the property.

Supermarkets and everyday shops are just 5 minutes away.

There is a double garage with secure internal house access, plus ample driveway space for an additional 4–5 cars — ideal for groups arriving in separate vehicles.

During colder months, the cosy gas fireplace takes the chill off, supported by individual heaters in every room and two heat pumps throughout the house. For summer, two air conditioning units cool the main living areas and every bedroom has its own fan.

High-speed Wi-Fi is available in every room. The house runs on fibre optic ultra-fast broadband, so 4K streaming, video conferencing, and large uploads are all smooth and reliable.

Three firm favourites: Aosta (18 Buckingham Street, Arrowtown) draws on Northern Italian techniques with Central Otago ingredients and local wines — one of the region's finest. Blue Kanu (16 Church Street, Queenstown) blends Pacific and Asian influences into their signature 'Polynasia' style, offering healthy, exotic flavours. Goku (45 Beach Street, Queenstown) serves authentic Japanese hot pots featuring Japanese and NZ Wagyu beef alongside the freshest local seafood.
