I stayed at Karyn's place for two nights. I was very comfortable as the room was spacious and well equipped with a fridge, microwave, kettle, and TV. There was milk, tea and coffee provided and a cupboard contained cereal. There was bread, margarine, and jam in the fridge as well, for breakfast. Te shower was powerful in the bathroom. Karyn also offered free WiFi at her place.
Karyn met me soon after I arrived and made sure that I settled in. She also offered advice on nearby walks and The Hayes, a pub/Diner which is walking distance.
After I left and checked in at the airport, Karyn texted me to let me know that I had forgotten a bag at her place. She went out of her way to drive to the airport and give me my bag. Much appreciated.
I highly recommend Karyn's place to stay at in Lake Hayes Estate, which is close to Queenstown and Arrowtown.
