The house was warm, stylishly decorated and well located. The house offered views of Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains. It was a quick 5 minute walk into Queenstown however the location was very quiet. I would recommend this house for a comfortable stay.

10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2024
Upper Gardens is instantly warm, accommodating and welcoming, as soon as you walk in the door. This is the sort of property my son and I love! Modern (refurbed), with everything you need and a homely, comfy, relaxed and embracing vibe. Great to hang out in and great to come home to, after a day of doing whatever you want, in our case, snowboarding 1st to last lift. We had intended to eat out, but enjoyed just hanging at home so much, we shopped and mainly stayed in, listening to music, enjoying the fire and having early nights. The home is really close to town and we did manage to wander down (through Queenstown Gardens - so beautiful!) to for 2 dinners and a breakfast, including a walk along the lake and some window shopping. Overall, we loved Upper Gardens and hope to stay again.
