We stay in Queenstown every couple of years and are rarely disappointed. This stay was no different, and Michelle’s house was excellent for our family of five. Good views over Lake Wakatipu, fairly close to the CBD (a bit too far to walk unless you’re adventurous, but an easy drive and right off the bus route).
The house is that perfect balance between being “too clean” and new to the point of being sterile, and “too lived-in” so that everything’s a mess. It was comfortable and comforting from the moment we stepped in... felt just like being home. Every imaginable utensil was available in the kitchen (which is designed for actually cooking!), the fridge was stocked with thoughtful items to get the weary traveler settled in (including a lovely bottle of vintage Gibbston Valley Chardonnay), and the living room is designed for comfort around a warm fireplace.
I can’t imagine a better place to spend Christmas! Thanks Michelle for making our holiday special!
