This place is in a quiet cul de sac with the Remarkables mountains right across and other spectacular mountains framing the entire view. Waking up here was a wonderful experience.
The Shotover area is special in that it is open enough to enjoy good sunlight all day in the winter. Its only a few minutes to supermarkets and other amenities at Frankton and maybe 10 minutes drive from the Queenstown town area, close enough but away from the stretched parking and traffic queues.
The apartment itself was perfect. In minus 2 degrees it was warm and cosy. We BBQed on the 6 burner covered gas grill several times. Indoor parking with automatic garage door, full laundry, modern kitchen with dishwasher, great TV screen with satellite TV and Netflix. Robyn has really thought through every detail.
We skied both Coronet Peak and Remarks, ventured down to Glenorchy twice to ride jetboats and horse trek. We took a chopper ride from the airport 5 minutes away and landed on top of Cecil Peak over Lake Wakatipu. The drive through highway 8 from Cromwell down through Clyde following the Clutha river is some of the most spectacular scenery we’ve ever seen anywhere.
Robyn & John’s place was the perfect base for us all. We were 3 adults & 2 teenagers. The layout gave us all the space we needed.
We really can’t speak highly enough about the apartment, location and host.
Do it, you’ll love it!
