Monica and Grant are delightful hosts. Their home is a sanctuary among trees and flowers, with balconies overflowing with potted plants and unusual decorative items, and a chorus of various birds to serenade us. They both were exceptionally helpful with advice on not only the Queenstown area, but also areas we were traveling to later in our trip. They were very welcoming and accommodating, and their dog and cat made us feel like we were home.

The rented unit is on the ground floor of their two-story home. It is an airy studio with a comfy bed, a tidy kitchen, and a nice bathroom. (The shower was nice and hot!) The home is located a few kilometers up the beautiful Glenorchy Road from Queenstown, which suited us just fine. Queenstown can seem to be overrun with buses and tourists, so it was great to get away to the quiet. This also gave us a beautiful view of the stars.

I would definitely stay at Tui House again if we came through Queenstown again!
