If you love the serenity of the Queenstown Gardens but the buzz of downtown Queenstown, you cannot beat the location of this quaint 2-storey apartment which is right between both. The Queenstown Gardens has expanded its playground to seriously big slides and good fun even for big kids, and frisbee golf is a unique game to try other than romantic walks/ cycling/ ice skating in the Gardens. And while you are a stone’s throw from The Mall and just opposite the buzzy Halo cafe next to the gorgeous old church, Penrich is peaceful and quiet at night save for an occasional chatty group.
The balconies on both levels with views of the gorgeous stream running through the property are great, and Julz the property manager was quick to show us how the electric blankets worked when we felt cold. She also brought us extra blankets and hot water bottles, but we didn’t need them once we got the heat pump on. As the first AirBnB guest in the property, I told Julz that if more than one couple stayed they’d probably appreciate a TV in the the bedroom downstairs, and she said she agreed and would also arrange for Netflix soon. thanks for the fresh hydrangeas Julz, they were a lovely touch
