The Airbnb is set in Lake Hayes Estate, which is 10 minutes drive from Queenstown airport and 20 minutes from the city centre. The house itself has a total of 5 bedrooms and can accommodate up to 10 people. So although 600 dollars a night might sound like a lot for one night, if you’re sharing with a group of friends it might be an actual steal for what you get.
