Do not be put off by the lack of kitchen. For those travelling, you'll most likely eat out and there is a fridge for storing food you have with you. Kirsten also makes things convenient by providing a bin for dirty dishes which she collects, washes and returns to you during the day. The "living" area is small but we found it adequate for two people. It functions well and is laid out so that it maximises the space while still providing room to make coffee/tea and relax. Kirsten added a special touch with home baked chocolate chip cookies which was a thoughtful gesture. Convenient to Queenstown but away from the hustle and bustle. Huge bathroom with motion sensor that detects when you are about to enter so it is well-lit upon entry. A perfect and quiet place to return to after a long day sightseeing.
