Michael's place is located at 5-8 minutes walk distance from Queenstown center and 12-15 minutes from the boarding quay of the TSS Earnslaw or the Southern Discoveries booth where tours to Milford Sounds depart and return. There are plenty of restaurants, bars and shops nearby. It is very well located above Queenstown Mall ; there is a nice view on the gondola and the lake from the nearby Melbourne Street.
The place is located on top of the hill near the Catholic Church and the slope may be a bit steep for some people. Some neighbours may be a bit noisy when coming back from town at nighttime or when they are hosting parties in their home.
