We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment, which was our base for 12 days in Queenstown in January. On our arrival, there was a welcoming bowl of cherries and bottle of wine. The house was spotlessly clean, with lovely bedding, decor and towels, and it had all the facilities that we needed (the washer and drier were useful for getting our clothes cleaned between hikes). The house is close to Queenstown (10 mins drive) but away from the hustle and bustle. There is a large supermarket about 5 mins drive away (Pack & Save) which we went to most days to get food etc. Robyn was very friendly and helpful (she lives in the adjacent house) for when we had any questions.
Activities: There is a useful list of suggested outings/activities in the house, which we made use of. A couple of us did some of the Great Walks (Routeburn Track and Kepler Track) which are accessible from Queenstown - fantastic walks but you need to book ahead through the Department of Conservation Great Walks website. We also enjoyed the Skyline gondola to the restaurant and luge riding; horse riding; cycling along the Queenstown/Kelvin Peninsula foreshores; river surfing at Roaring Meg; bungy jumping (AJ Hackett Nevis); a drive up to the Remarkables ski area and walk to a lookout at the top; Arrowtown (Chinese village, river walk and cycling tracks, and some nice restaurants); glow worm tour from Te Anau.
