Big House, Bigger Views

Big House, Bigger Views, We Welcome You To Our Home Away From Home

If you're looking to accommodate a big family or large group then our big House is perfect for you.

There's room for the whole family with a large lounge, separate dining area, kitchen and four bedrooms.

The views are exceptional with floor to ceiling windows in the lounge where you will see unobstructed views of Lake Wakatipu, The Remarkable Mountain Range, Cecil Peak and beyond. The lake view balcony is also a perfect place to relax and unwind.

This big house is an older style home where you will feel right at home; it's cosy, not precious, tidy and very comfortable. The location is ideal as it's close to town. The wood burner fire is lovely to relax around after a day exploring.

Since our recent reviews we have replaced the mattresses in the property, fixed the peeling paint & leak in the lounge room ensuring the house is tidy and comfortable

Wow!

The views were amazing and it certainly supersedes the other things. The place itself wasn’t bad, just needs updating especially the kitchen. The driveway is a bit hard to get in and out of. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed. Would I stay there again? I absolutely would.

Queenstown you blew our minds

We will be forever grateful we stayed at Earnslaw House. Firstly the views blew us away when we arrived, instant holiday mode. The house is not a polished diamond but a very comfortable tidy home. It is well depicted in the photos. The kitchen has lots of bits n bobs but some extra Pots n Pans for those that want to cook would be a blessing. The walk into town is a comfortable 15-20 minutes or a 5 minute drive. We definitely would stay here again and Queenstown is simply Amazing

The Views Are Amazing!

What this property lacks in modernity it makes up for in comfort, warmth and views. The property was undergoing some renovation work, so we had new carpet but no access to the garage as the contractors car was in storage, one of the bedroom had cupboard doors off the runners, and the laundry door handle kept falling off, but I assume this is all about to be sorted, the exhaust fan made a hell of a noise in the upstairs bathroom but the facilities were really good otherwise. The bedding configuration worked well for our group, the crockery and cutlery were more than adequate, and the coffee machine a gods send. The fire was greate, with plenty of wood, Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
