A great base for exploring the region, with Queenstown 5 minutes drive away, Glenorchy an hour's beautiful drive up Lake Whakatipu and Arrowtown less than half an hour down the road. Melanie and Colin were communicative and helpful, everything was clean and comfortable, even the fire was set for lighting on arrival. The view to Mt Walter is a daily delight, and The Cabin is set out beautifully for a retreat for two. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, the high pressure shower was amazing, the mezzanine bed cosy under the skylight, and both a heatpump and fireplace to keep warm in the evenings after a day's adventures. Highlights included walking in the Humboldt Mountains, regional history at Lakes Regional Museum, Onsen hot pools and great food at The Chop Shop Food Merchants. Everything you could want from a holiday!
