Michelle met us on our arrival to her property and we were greeted with a lovely tour of the place and some good banter. The place itself is truly well put together. It looks like it came straight out of The Block! It was very laid out and included anything you might need during your stay- cooking stuff, an espresso machine, awesome sitting nook and some much appreciated underfloor heating in the bathroom.
The highlight for us that really set this place apart was the spa pool and impressive view of Lake Wakatipu. I think we spent a fair chunk of our time at Michelle's place in the spa pool, drink in hand watching the amazing backdrop. Besides having a great view, the property is located in a lovely residential part of Queenstown. I'd say the neighbourhood was a good mix of Air BnB places, rental accomodation for working holiday folk and just regular Queenstown locals. There's a dairy near by, too. It's a bit of a walk into town, but it's certainly achievable- probably around 3 km.
They don't call it FernHILL for nothing and the hill is pretty solidly hill-like. It was great for getting a good workout, but certainly for those less inclined for that there's a bus stop nearby and taxis are available in town (at ridiculously inflated Queenstown prices of course.)
All in all we really couldn't ask for more. Given the price, location and quality of the accomodation I would highly recommend this place for anyone and we're looking forward to our next trip back.
