This place is great everything you need to enjoy yourself in Queenstown. In my opinion its more than walking distance to the downtown areas however I myself would rather take a car most places unless I am actually on a hike. I have a feeling the vast majority of folks that visit Queenstown would rather walk to the place. Come from town it is up a large steep hill just as an FYI to folks. The place is very clean and tidy, there were throws to use while hanging out in the lounge and all the beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was a great size to get around in. Absolutely no complaints, I highly recommend this place and will try to book with Pete and Sarah again should I return to Queenstown!
