Judy and Maurice's place is in a wonderful setting and the views are outstanding. We drove through a forest road to get there and had stunning views of two mountain ranges from our deck. We loved the place so much that we decided to alter our plans and stay an additional week in Arthurs Point. It is about a 10 minute drive to Queenstown, 15 minutes to the lovely heritage village of Arrowtown and about 1 hour 15 mins to Wanaka over the scenic Alpine drive. All these places have loads to offer; Queenstown has a younger vibe but there is still plenty to offer everybody and lots of great walks. Judy and Maurice gave us lots of great advice about the best walks and local restaurants and bars (including 'First Table", which knocks 50% off the bill for $10). I went with Maurice on one of his trips to Skippers Road (got the adrenaline pumping!) where he knows a great place to go panning to find gold. We did!
The apartment had a very welcoming feel and we settled in immediately. Maurice and his son changed our mattress, which we found too soft. It is a well equipped small kitchen and with the BBQ on the deck we were able to cater for ourselves when we wished. The bathroom is a good size with plenty of space for things and the shower is excellent. Overall we had a great stay and would highly recommend this airbnb.
