We were warmly welcomed at the apartment by Gretchen who then showed us around pointing out the various features.
The very well located apartment is warm and cosy and nice to get back to after a hard day being a tourist.
The walk to/from Queenstown proper, while quite short is by way of a steep hill as described. The young and/or fit shouldn’t have too big an issue with it though you’ll still feel like you’ve worked for it. The elderly and/or mobility challenged will likely want to catch a cab though.
Highly recommended.
