The view at Craig’s place was absolutely stunning, rain or shine (you might even be able to skip the gondola ride). Despite the hill, we found the 20-minute walk to town to be really pleasant, weather permitting. In the rain, it was just a $12-15 (NZ) cab ride from town. All basic amenities were included as advertised and the place was very clean. Craig provided fantastic recommendations for activities and places to eat in Queenstown, and he was a very accommodating host. I would definitely stay here again.
