Staying at Kathleen and Doug’s house was one of the highlights of our South Island trip. Stayed a total of 4 nights and made it our base when visiting Queenstown (which was a 15-min drive away to the heart of Queenstown). Closer to us was Queenstown Central, which has a huge Countdown supermarket, Kmart, The Warehouse etc (7 min drive away).
You are away from the busyness of it all, and can enjoy the fresh air and sights of the hill country. It was a peaceful and relaxing haven for us and our daughter.
The house was immaculately kept, modern and well-stocked with cooking essentials and amenities. The super-plus was the resident flock of sheep that were tame and could be fed with a generous tub of pellet treats given to us by our hosts. They also welcomed us to collect their chickens’ eggs each morning, and we could enjoy fresh eggs for our breakfast.
Doug, Kathleen and their son were warm and friendly and when they saw us in the sheep paddock, they would happily come up and engage us in conversation. All in all, a perfect 10/10 and we highly recommend their Airbnb to anyone heading to Queenstown. Thank you!
