Kristel's place is a lovely place to stay, particularly in winter. Queenstown is in shadow for a large portion of the day in winter, while Jack's Point where Kristel's place is, is in the sunshine. You will need a car, but can park near the Hilton and get the water taxi across to Queenstown if you don't want to park in Queenstown. The Jack's Point Golf Course restaurant is a lovely spot for a coffee or breakfast.
