Although I barely got to see the hosts because of all the plans I made, when I met them they were quite lovely and sociable. This location like many in the South Island of New Zealand is best if you have access to a car. Unfortunately I did not, but I still was able to make it work taking the hourly buses. It is a very safe neighborhood and the bus drivers tend to be quite nice and friendly. The bed was very comfortable. It was so comfortable, I pretty much slept my entire first day's stay here to catch up on sleep. The room is beautiful, spacious and the house is very clean. Though, it is a newer property and the walls carry sound very well. The hosts were gracious enough to provide very effective earplugs which were helpful to go to sleep at night as the other guests staying in the room next door tended to be nightowls and chatty before bed. I really should have used the earplugs from the very beginning as I had very ambitious plans for day-long adventures that required me to get up very early to catch the InterCity buses to places like Wanaka. If you are a solo traveller without a car, I honestly would highly recommend finding a hostel like Hippo Lodge in the heart of Queenstown city centre. because there are more things within walking distance and all the bus lines frequent there, so you can explore other towns more easily. But if you do have access to car, then this is a very ideal, peaceful, quiet and beautiful location with gorgeous views and at night you can see the stars so clearly that it will nearly blind you with how brightly they twinkle at night. Other than that, the shower was very clean and had good water pressure. And it really is quite a scenic place to stay. If I am ever in this area again, I will have a car and I'm sure I'll have an even better experience than I already had staying here this time around.
