Jackie was very helpful by direct message. Her husband Dennis was a gracious and friendly host, who offered good advice and some tasty fruitcake. He was temporarily looking after a neighbour's golden retriever, and let me feed and play with the dog.
The fridge in the bedroom was half-size, rather than the quarter-size mini-fridges you get in some accommodations, which was a nice bonus. The bed was comfy. There were a lot of clothes hangers in the closet.
From the deck, you get an amazing view over the water to Queenstown. The water taxi stops at a pier just a few minutes downhill.
