An excellent place to stay! Myself and my girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Brian's apartment that overlooks the beautiful Lake Wakitipu. The views are absolutely stunning. The place is spacious and comfortable with everything you may need. The bed was comfortable and there was nothing we found that we needed that wasn't already provided. The place is at the top of a steep hill but for those who still have a bit of a spring in their step this is not a problem at all and should not deter anyone. 7 minutes walk and your at the water front next to all the shops, bars and restaurants.. I must admit though due to all the activities you will end up doing in Queenstown I was tired (and lazy) and paid the $7 for a taxi from the town to the apartment.. not much when your exhausted and have a full stomach from one of the many great restaurants in Queenstown! I would happily stay at Brian's place again and very happy to recommend it to anyone. For those that like to walk there is also a couple of nice walking trails accessible just 2 minutes up from the house. As a host Brian had great communication and made it easy for me to collect the keys on our arrival. A great stay and a great host!
