An oasis! We read all the reviews before getting to Alan's home, and yet our expectations were still blown out of the water! The apartment is super spacious, homely and comfortable. We weren't cold at any point - there's a handy heater in the centre of the apartment - and the view is, in our opinion, better than a lakefront hotel room. There's a homely feel to being able to windowgaze from the window seat with a fresh-made coffee that surpasses anything we think we would have experienced at Queenstown's hotel counterparts. We miss it already - thank you, Alan and Joanne!
