If Karin’s apartment is available, jump on it. The location and the view are outstanding, it’s sparkling clean and well designed with a lot of space. That alone would make it a wonderful place to stay (and great value for money). But it’s also the small touches - cereal, coffee and fresh milk, chocolates on the bed, face wipes, a hair dryer. It had all the amenities of a hotel, but so much better for the view and hospitality. And a wonderful and warm bed that overlooks one of the best vistas of the lake and mountains imaginable. Karin helped us plan hikes, gave very good recommendations of places to eat in Queenstown and even let us check back in for a few hours when our plans changed due to weather. This place is not to be missed!
