John was a friendly and easy going host who shared many tips with us on Queenstown. The view from his house was lovely and the rooms were cosy. We were in the room on the ground floor so we didn't have to bring the lugguage up the steep stairs which may not be suitable for the elderly. His house was also located on a fairly steep slope so it was a bit of a challenge to drive up at night. John was really helpful though and helped to maneuver our car down the driveway.
