Russell & Sally's place is far better than the pictures give away. The place is spacious, very clean and very cosy. The water taxis are very handy to get to Queenstown's centre in a few minutes but then again, the drive is only 15 minutes. The suburb is so beautiful! Being a runner I enjoyed getting out and running around the golf course on the bike track around the coast. Russel and Sally were sensational hosts! We met them and their kids and had a really beautiful family time - at our choice as they are not intrusive at all. But we loved it, so much so we enjoyed a vino on their deck whilst we were using their BBQ to cook dinner. For us it was a great experience to get to know them and feel so comfortable in their place. Perhaps the best home experience we've had in they NZ trip! Keep it up guys - will definitely come back again. Queenstown is AMAZING and you were part of it!
