Guest Comments"Spending time at Skyview is not just making holidays in a wonderful
environment but meeting fascinating people: you! Thank you for the
wonderful time we were allowed to enjoy this exceptionally and unique
place. If one believes in paradise this could help to get a first
taste...Always welcome in Germany!" "This place is fantastic. Fabulous facilities and everything we
needed. We had such a great time here and can't wait to come back.
Might be calling that bed retailer soon too! Best night's sleep in
ages!" "Four heavenly days haven't been enough ~ already planning our return
for longer! What tranquility & comfort, thank you for thinking of
our every need, everything just perfect." "Like the climbing
wall." "Thank you so much, we have really enjoyed it here, this
house is wonderful and well done for building it because the outcome of
it is fab. Loved it - Thx!!" "What can I say: 'Awesome!!'...It's just so beautiful here. Jef if I won Lotto, I'd get you to design my house...It is so lovely to turn off the 'fast lane' and into your driveway to really chill out, relax and get away from it all. The views are beautiful and the air is so clear, the perfect place to get engaged!!! We're so happy and we will always have extra special memories from this gorgeous place." Debbie Shaheen and the crew from Elite Pest Control,
Christchurch, NZ Easter Weekend, 2009 "2nd time

seamless blend of luxury, quirky & rustic. Pool constant happiness for
the kids. Outside bath really special for young & old...Overall
fantastic stay & we'll be back." "If heaven is a place on Earth, this is it!! It made our holiday the most memorable adventure in the most idyllic
of settings. We will cherish this place forever." "Skyview is that rare NZ thing - a tourist/holiday experience that delivers quality and amenity value - a welcome change from the too many sub-standard holiday rentals." John, Fiona Dennehy & kids. Auckland, NZ 16 October, 2007 "Skyview, as always, is the icing on the cake in beautiful NZ. Many, many thanks Robina, Jef, Terry and Marti for making
my yearly "habit" so gloriously wonderful. Kia ora and Mahalo nui loa!" "We've spent two month's of my maternity leave here + its been superb. Many thanks to Terry-Ann for her help,
friendliness and baby advice. Thanks also to Jef and Robina for taking so much time to make us feel at home. We're all very
sorry to leave. A special beginning for my daughter, Anna, and an inspiration to her mum." "We loved the setting - just perfect for our honeymoon! A great base for exploring Queenstown, Arrowtown, and
Wanaka...and what a view! So unique, so peaceful, so secluded...So perfect!! Enjoyed the experience that is 'Skyview'."
"Dear Jef and Robina, "Very well appointed... Skyview surpassed our expectations wildly. We loved it. Superb location, lovely house and very
nice owners. Best holiday we've had in ages. Thank you!" "The lodge is so beautifully comfortable, it is tempting just to stay here. Thank you!" "What a lovely place! It was so peaceful, yet there was so much to keep us busy. The girls loved the pool, trampoline &
climbing wall, and they even enjoyed helping Mom hang out the clothes to dry. Special thanks to Terry...and to Mike who made
us amazing arrangements to helicopter into Fiordland National Park. Our visit was too short, but we had a great time. Thank
you!" "We found everything we needed, and felt really comfortable here. We appreciated the care you have taken to design,
furnish and equip this place." "What a great place! We've enjoyed every minute here. So beautiful! It would be my dream to come back & draw &
paint everyday! Aloha Muiloa." "Loved everything - beds (so comfortable!), bed linen, great kitchen and lovely extras like spices, tea & coffee. A
perfect balance of privacy yet knowing help is at hand if needed." "All areas of the lodge are well equipped....Appliances, utensils and furnishings are all top quality....Lots of cozy
spaces to relax and think....Good separation of different living spaces....The accommodation is of a very high
standard....Spotless....Better than expected....What I have enjoyed about Skyview is the peacefulness and serenity of the
land and environment....I think that the key is finding the perfect balance between quality accommodation and 'being away
from it all'. I personally like the current 'balance' of Skyview."
"The whole family really loved the place, and we had one of our best holidays ever. Karen and I liked the bed we had so
much that we've bought one for ourselves! I can't believe our week here is gone. I haven't had enough time to figure out
how to take this place with me. What can I say that would be enough? We'll be back!"
Macleod / Walker clan 22/12/2003. "What a truly harmonious spot. Your lodge was spectacular and all details well thought out. The colours blended with the
outside landscape and the attention to detail for kitchen, bedrooms, and baths exceptional. We have traveled wide and far
with our children ages 3, 6, and 8 and by far this has been our most fabulous rental! Well done and we hope to journey
here again."
"Although we were pushing the boat out a bit on our budget, it's been worth every penny; hence the extra night."
The Hollis family, Edinburgh, Scotland. 17 April, 2004. "Just a quick note to thank you so much for sharing Skyview with us. We had the best holiday we have had in a long time.
We loved the lodge and have gained lots of inspiration for our 12 acre property in Clevedon on the outer skirts of Auckland.
We will definitely be back next year for more of the same only longer. Thanks again and see you next year."
"We have had a wonderful week in this peaceful and very picturesque location. The property is perfect - very clean with
high quality fixtures and fittings. The non-chlorinated pool was a real bonus and very warm! We really appreciated the
spacious showers and especially the outside bath."
Jackson family, Stroud, Cotswolds, UK 13 January, 2005. "The most relaxing lodge any of us have ever stayed in. A real retreat. Thanks Jef and Robina, you have a
very special place."
"Totally beautiful. Specially loved touches like flowers & 'bubbles' & spices etc in the kitchen.
Bathrooms/towels/beds all lovely. You have made an exceptional home. Pool brilliant. Loved the tracks. This is a
gorgeous place, wonderfully designed & built."
Tina Metcalfe 'The Old Oak' Bonnington, Ashford, Kent, England. 28 March, 2005 "Dear Robina and Jef, as we approach the end of our stay, we wish we could prolong it indefinitely. We feel truly at
home and cherish every moment. We have stayed at five star hotels, but nothing compares with Skyview. It is superbly
designed, extremely comfortable, and set in memorable scenery. We wouldn't change a thing. We stayed in an apartment in
Queenstown last year and we were a little apprehensive about the location of Skyview. Having been here, we have no
wish to be in Queenstown. We are happy and very comfortable here. As I said to you on arrival, Skyview is better
when encountered than what can be seen on the website. This is rare. Thank you both for everything. You were here when
we needed you, and always knew you were there for us. We hope to see you again." Warm regards, "Fantastic storage facilities in bedrooms, love all the random hooks. You surpassed everything we expected during our
stay - the spices were a nice touch. Discount on the heliskiing was a huge bonus!! The windows are great how they
open up completely. As a chef, I love the kitchen...love the drying rack in the lounge...love the eco touches, clearly
stemming from your life philosophy. Thanks also for taking the time to allow us to settle in and being available." |
