This is what Airbnb is all about, super personal concerned hosts that are responsive, caring, and engaging. You should think twice about renting a car because you can literally walk to their home from the airport, or they will pick you up! However, even though they are so close to the airport, there is no aircraft noise. Oh, and the views of the Remarkable mountains from the home are spectacular. Also, for a small fee that is a fraction of what a professional guide would charge you, they will drive you on a tour of the surrounding highlights. Don't spend a ton of money on the silly touristy things, just have Noel and Shirley give you the insider tour on the cheap :-). They are wonderful conversationalists that we bonded with and felt sad that we had to leave. You will be fortunate if this place is available. Shirley and Noel feel like our Queenstown family and we want to come back asap.
