Sublime! This was one of my favorite Airbnb experiences in New Zealand—or anywhere. And that’s aside from the spectacular views and the convenient location. A stellar example of a superhost, Elizabeth went above and beyond to make my weeklong visit special. She collected me in her car when I arrived; invited me to join her and Peter for a glass of wine and great conversation; spent an entire afternoon giving me a scenic tour; and introduced me to a lovely friend of hers. At the same time, I had all the solitude and privacy I wanted. The loft studio was inviting, so comfortable, and offered more space than I had expected. As someone who has traveled widely, Elizabeth has put a great deal of thought into the kinds of amenities travelers crave. Like a luxurious goose-down duvet and an electric blanket with a timer, a docking station for all of one’s devices, an in-room washing machine, and a generously stocked kitchen and bathroom. There was even a bus pass provided for one's use. Do read the binder on Queenstown--it includes the kinds of personalized tips that only a long-time resident could provide. I followed several of her recommendations and they were all gems. It’s worth noting that Elizabeth is a ”Registered Home Host,” yet her rates were similar to, or better than, places that don’t meet the same high standard. Very highly recommended!
