Neighbourhood

Queenstown is in one of NZ's most scenic locations, and is close to world class wineries as well as three skifields in season and world heritage scenery in Fiordland. There is endless choice of activity - slow and reflective, or action-oriented and thrill-seeking, as well as gold mining history (eg. http://www.arrowtown.com/) and of course, Lord of the Rings interest Several of NZ's Great Walks start in the area and slightly further afield, the Catlins and Stewart Island on NZ's south coast are two of the untouristed wildlife opportunities to experience NZ as the locals do. There are a couple of great vineyards very close to town (for example, Amisfield http://www.amisfield.co.nz ) and a personal favourite, Gibbston Valley. The central Otago Pinot vineyards are a scenic drive away. There are also a range of golf courses in Queenstown and Arrowtown themselves, as well as nearby. A couple of hours' drive away are the world's most southerly links. Mountain bikers will find a choice of interesting as well as challenging routes.

Nearest airport

Queenstown airport. Approx 20 minutes away.

Getting around

There is a small area about a 10 minute slightly hilly walk with a corner dairy, nice Italian restaurant, fish and chip shop etc from the house. The bus stop into town is also there. However, while we have had non-driving home exchangers, you really need a car to make the most of the area. Unfortunately we cannot offer a car exchange.

Happy to meet folks in Dunedin for a coffee and chat

Feedback

  • Queenstown is popular and busy! There’s so much for active people to do and the setting is stunning. Pim’s home is located a short way out in a quiet area, yet still close to the action. Her home is comfortable and has everything one would need to settle in. We were fortunate to meet Pim and Stuart in Dunedin, and they are gracious and delightful.

  • Pim was a fantastic host and very welcoming! The house provides easy access to the center of Queenstown and is very comfortable. We had a wonderful time with our kids and spent a lot of time exploring the area. It was so nice to return each evening to Pim's place for a good night's sleep and meal preparation. We are so happy we stayed there and are forever grateful to Pim for opening her home to us. Thank you!

  • Loved Pims house and the view from her lounge was like a painting. The scenery was stunning. The home was very welcoming and It was lovely to light the log burner when we got back from a days outing. Pim was readibly available if we needed to ask anything and we had a great few days there.

Pim

We are a retired active couple: Stuart is an engineer and Pim is a doctor. We have lived and worked in the UK and Australia as well as NZ, but always enjoy coming to our Queenstown home to relax and savour our wonderful country. We love travel and have had some wonderful trips of all kinds in the past - and are looking forward to more in future. We both used to be glider pilots (Stuart had a power licence too), and he still collects old cars and loves tearing around on his motorbike at weekends. We are line dancers. We are also very interested in birdwatching, tramping, cycling and exploring old cities. With >100 exchanges to date (we have been swapping since 1987) we are always interested in New Zealand and unusual destinations! We have had many wonderful trips to Australia and are not planning any more for the moment. Currently only looking for Pacific Islands and Japan.
