“Thank you Katie and Tim, for letting us stay in your lovely home.. Everything was perfect and we really enjoyed the fantastic surroundings with, breathtaking views . It was perfect to swap both car and house with with Tim and Kathie.. Their home had everything to make a vacation perfect. We couldn’t get enough of the beautiful, breathtaking surroundings and it was a lovely experience, I travelled with my daughter, Sister, her husband and their daughter and we all loved it. This is a spacious, peaceful beatiful family home at Lake Hayes., we can suggest to take the 8 km walk around lake Hayes, A few minutes away from their house Is the historic, pitoresque City of Arrowtown with some nice restaurants and shops, Queenstown is the closest big city.and offers a variety of nice things to se and we loved it. Their house is on a great location. It was 2 seperate wings in their home,and in the middle was the kitchen and liivingroom area that gave you a lot of privacy and space and we had a great first experience withö Love home swopping “ This was the perfect way to visit New Zeeland and Katie and Tim had many nice suggestions what to do. during our stay. everything went smoothly, and we loved it. ”
“We had amazing times in this special place and we feel so lucky to have been in our first Lovehomeswap in the house of such beautiful and accommodating people! Who were actually in the other wing of the house and made it even more special. Thank you Katie and Tim for your hospitality and showing us things in your area. The house is located in a very ideal spot if you love to do bike rides.. and it awakened in us a childlike excitement reconnecting with bicycling in gorgeous sceneries more beautiful then we have seen anywhere in the world - rivers, lakes, golden pastures, turquoise waters. We recommend this place 1000 percent! :) ”

Neighbourhood
Next door to Amisfield Winery visited by Prince William and Princess Kate (2 min drive) our property is in a peaceful spot however, close enough to the action. Gorgeous, quaint Arrowtown is a 4 mins drive and Queenstown centre 25 mins. There are plenty of art galleries, cafes and wineries nearby for those who would like to spend the day that way, or Millbrook Golf Resort and Spa just 3 mins drive away. We have 2 bikes for you to cycle around the lake, or why not just begin or end your day with a walk there. In season you can pick the fruit straight from the trees as you walk by the lake. The world famous birthplace of the bunjy jump spot is only 10 mins drive away for those a little more adventurous.
