After a long and bumpy journey from the UK, to arrive at the tranquility of Glenorchy and the aptly named Gateway to Paradise was all I needed and wanted it to be. The house and room was modern and felt like home. Jakobien was welcoming and very friendly. It was my first time of staying with a host so I wasn't sure what to expect but it was great and ideal for a single traveller when motels are impersonal and expensive. Breakfast was continental with homemade jams and even hot cross buns as it was Easter. I choose to have dinner as I didn't really want to travel to find food. Very tasty with locally sourced ingredients including organic homegrown vegetables. Jakobien suggested a trip round the head of the lake which was an adventure and also arranged a trip to Paradise and beyond which was great and we went further than I would have got in my rental car . Still haven't quite got to the end of the road tho! All in all my first staying with a host was great and well recommended if you are seeking Paradise.
