This place is perfect but it’s Annette and Margaret’s hospitality and the fact that they are the epitome of why small town New Zealand is the heart of this country. I was staying here because my friend and I were walking the Routeburn track the next day. At about 4.30 I realised that I hadn’t packed my hiking boots (too late to go back to Queenstown to buy some). I was panicked thinking I was going to have to walk in my Rollie boots… I started to ask people -even at the pub if they had spare hiking boots. I messaged Annette and Margaret and they said they would see what they could do. Within the hour I had a phonecall from Margaret saying there was two pairs of boots for me to try outside of my room. Got back to the studio and there they were - and one pair fitted!! I was able to walk the Routeburn as planned with stunning views and weather all thanks to Margaret and Annette and only 1 blister!
I can’t thank them enough.
For those that have read this far - book the studio - the views of My Earnslaw are epic, beds are super comfortable and showers are great. Would stay here again - in fact would love to live in a community like this! 🥰🥰🥰
