Joanne's place was perfect: spacious, pretty, comfortable and everything new, modern and spotlessly clean. Nice touches to greet us like chocolates and fresh flowers. We only stayed one night but Joanne's place is so spacious a longer stay would be great. The room is large and the bed is very comfortable. Nice shower, heated towel rack. There's a little table and chairs inside where you can eat, and a couple of tables outside in the beautiful flower gardens, and another in the front garden. There is a fridge you can use, and a washer and clothesline. There's a kettle and a selection of coffee, tea and hot chocolate. There are glasses, plates and cutlery you can use if you want to get take-away. (They also deliver.) Joanne had lots of info for us. We took her suggestion and took a lovely walk along the lake to the pub at the Hilton then took the water taxi to Queenstown. In the morning we had a nice breakfast at nearby Odelay Cafe. Got groceries for our trip at the nearby grocery store.
You are really getting a lot of "bang for the buck" at Joanne's place, and Joanne is delightful!
