Diane's place was a slice of paradise. The photos hardly do justice to the scenic views you wake up to. The place itself is tidy and quaint with everything you need including a small kitchen if you want to prepare meals. The walk to the Shotover river is also beautiful. The cottage is about 15 minutes drive away from the airport, downtown Queenstown and arrowtown. We found ti pretty easy to get around everywhere with a rental car. There was a slight hiccup in our check in and Diane went above and beyond to accommodate us.
