Loved staying at Christian's place - nice comfy and quiet haven a very short distance (uphill) away from the bustle of Queenstown. The view is beautiful, both day and night. It's really a great space, with lovely furnishings and decor. The beds are nicely made and very comfortable. Quite a few non-perishable items left in the kitchen pantry which we added to when we left - which was nice. Would have been nice to arrive to some teabags
etc, but no big deal. There were a few items missing (no peeler, only 1 teaspoon); the toaster has a broken handle so it was difficult to use; and all of the bath towels provided need replacing - they are stained and threadbare. The dishwasher was full of clean (but not properly clean) dishes when we checked in, so I had to unstack it, which I thought was weird. The dishwasher filter was extremely dirty and clogged, so I cleaned that out too.
We felt there could have been a note or letter welcoming us, which may have included instructions how to use some of the appliances (tv/stereo etc), and any tips about the activities/restaurants etc around the place - Christian is apparently a long term local, so it would have been great to have heard received something from him.
Overall we were really happy at Ballarat Batch and would recommend it as a great place to stay whilst in Queenstown.
