Jinny’s place was fantastic. My partner and I were so pleased when we finally entered the room as it was incredibly cosy and offered such a breathtaking view of Lake Wakatipu. We were made aware that the room does not have a kitchen or laundry however this did not bother us at all and Jinny was kind enough to give us directions to a laundromat in Queenstown, along with several other helpful suggestions as to what we could do while we were there. After exploring and adventuring (in a car) out to places such as the centre of Queenstown (9min), Coronet Peak (20min), Arrowtown (30min), Glenorchy (40min), Lake Wanaka (1hr30min), and so forth, we realised that Jinny’s place was in such a great location.
Location-wise, Jinny’s place is somewhat on the side of a mountain and to get there, you do need to go up a hill. My partner and I would stroll down to the corner store for items or have dinner at the Chur Fish and Chip shop down the hill and we did not mind the walk back up; we found it wasn’t as bad as we had expected. There are also several hiking tracks nearby such as the One Mile Creek Track, Fernhill Loop and Ben Lomond track. My partner and I would hike up the One Mile Creek Track which connects to the Fernhill Loop and Ben Lomond track and we would continue onto the Skyline Access Road which lead to the top of the Skyline Gondola and Luge track. The hike may take about two hours return however it is worth it, not only for the view at the top of the mountain but the wonderful nature and creek you walk by as you hike up.
In conclusion, quote my partner, “I don’t have anything to add to it. It was a lovely place with an amazing view.”
Thank you so much, Jinny!
