Jan was such a lovely host! Her apartment was nothing less of stellar, it was as described, and then some. It was clean, warm and very cosy. We stayed here for a total of 10 days and enjoyed every bit of it, even when we were not out and about thanks to how comfortable and homey this apartment felt. All the essentials we needed was there and Jan kindly offered to provide any other little tid bits in the event that we needed it. She provided us with tea, coffee, chocolates, cookies, milk, and everything else we needed to wash and clean up in the apartment. She kindly changed our sheets and towels half way through the stay as well!

The apartment is far enough from town that it's quiet but not so far (only about 5~10 minutes) that it's a pain to get to. Only 3 minutes up the road is a lovely little place called the Onsen Hot Pools which is definitely worth the visit after a long day. During the daytime, from the balcony you get a lovely view of Cavell Ridge and the Shotover River, and after the sun sets, you get an amazing view of the star-filled night sky amongst the mountain peaks as you face away from the artificial lights of Queenstown and Coronet Peak Skii field.

Jan also provided us with some great local knowledge on where to eat, what to see as well as telling us about bookme.co.nz, this in particular saved us over $100NZD!
