The house is spacious, clean, well heated and very comfortable. It is a shortish walk to the lovely Arrowtown town centre which is very charming. Being able to use the nearby gym / pool/ tennis courts as part of the deal was great - the pool is heated and the facilities well kept and usually you have the whole place to yourself. There are nice walks and places to cycle to nearby as well as great mountain biking options at Coronet peak. Queenstown is only about 15 mins drive.
