Sharlene was a fantastic host--so quick and friendly with communication, extremely generous to let us swap days of our reservation due to getting stuck at the glaciers in some cold weather, and we were so pleased to meet her before we left the next morning. The guest house and bed were SO warm and cozy, we were grateful for the washer after an unfortunate (but hilarious) honey spill after a roadside farm stop on our drive, we had just what we needed for post-workout breakfast (I went into town to a slow flow class at Nadi yoga and my husband had a gorgeous run on a neighborhood trail during which he saw a white stag and other deer, chickens, lots of friendly dogs and native birds! :)), and I don't want to go without mentioning how beautiful the shower is--Sharlene's husband designed it himself; it's fantastic! We had a great night in Queenstown and only wished we had more time! We would be lucky to stay at Sharlene's guest house again on another trip.
