Marc's place is purest trad Queenstown. You really know you are in NZ when you stand on the verandah of his cosy batch and look out at the soaring mountains and the lake. Kind of a paradise experience, really. I loved it because it feels like a home and it's incredibly snug and cosy, important if you are going during the more chilly months. Marc himself is usually on hand or close by so you can stay in touch easily. Great WiFi reception and only ten minutes walk to town and all the shops, restaurants etc. the whole Queenstown experience is virtually on your doorstep
