I really enjoyed my stay. My goals were to be close enough to the city to be able to take advantage of Queenstown’s cuisine and various activities, but to be able to escape to a more quiet area at the end of each day. I definitely achieved my goals. The drive into the city was about 8-12 minutes, so I would go do some activities each day and return to take a nap/shower before heading back to the city for dinner. The views were incredible, and the home was very peaceful...I enjoyed the sound of nature all around. The house is in a great location if you want to walk across the street to the beach area or go on a hike in the nearby mountains. Monica and Grant were very friendly, flexible, and knowledgeable about the local area and activities. I felt as if they were always around when needed or to offer their friendly company, but were definitely not invasive whatsoever. I definitely felt that I had privacy and seclusion when I wanted to be isolated. And finally, the room itself was very comfortable to me. I felt as if I was in a log cabin in the woods; the beds were comfortable especially with the heated blankets, the shower was great, and I had all of the amenities that I needed.
