Great location. Easy checkin. That said, it clear this property has been heavily used. Clean but tired. Although we didn’t use the downstairs, I’m sure it has to be noisy. The floor in the upstairs portion creaks very loudly with almost every step. A for location, C for quality.

I would recommend Tahuna Lakeside to anyone. The location is perfect, Just a few minutes walk to the centre of town. The house was very comfortable with plenty of room for our group of eight. The pool table was a hit and the views simply spectacular. A big thank you to the Relax team.

Property had everything we needed for a family of 8. Excellent facilities and fantastic position to easily walk to Queenstown town centre, not to mention the great views of the lake and snow capped mountains. Best way to start each day.

Tahuna Lakeside
The property is just a short walk into town. We had a group of 11 ranging in age from 2yo to 67 nan and pop. Property had lots of room to accommodate 3 generations. We used the downstairs apartment as well. Relax it’s Done are great to work with and very accommodating. Thank you
