When you Stay
Details about keys will be sent to you once your booking is confirmed.
Turn on all switches on the switchboard in the hall on arrival and turn them off as you leave. Decide early if you need the ‘Nightstore’ heaters during your stay. These two wall-mounted heaters in the main room and hallway heat during the night and release large amounts of heat both day and night. They are great in the winter but will make your life miserable in summer.
The water supply remains on all year round.
Basic food supplies are available at the BP Connect, located 5 minutes walk away. Turn left as you walk out the back of the section and away from the lake. There is also a small group of shops over the road from the BP. Here you will find a chemist/post office/takeaways/video rental/hairdresser etc. The Remarkables Shopping Centre is 15 minutes walk in the other direction. Turn in the road to the airport and then right at the roundabout. Here you will find a New World supermarket/Mitre 10/The Warehouse/a home store/sporting goods store/doctors/pharmacy/Dick Smiths/Noel Lemmings/shoe shop/etc.
There is an excellent ‘Shoppers Bus’ that runs in a loop and stops at all the essential places. The nearest stop is near the small group of shops near the BP Connect. Alight at the shelter on the lakeside of the road for travel into Queenstown and over the road for travel to the airport and shopping centre. The bus departs the shelter for Queenstown at 35 mins past the hour and leaves from the O’Connell’s Mall in central Queenstown at 15 minutes before the hour. Make sure you catch the Frankton bus back. There is another loop that starts at the O’Connell’s Mall and goes in the other direction!
The Lakeland Hospital is on the way to the airport/Remarkables shopping centre.
Rubbish day is Tuesday and rubbish can be left on McBride Street in Council rubbish bags. These approved bags can be purchased from the supermarket. Please do not leave rubbish when you leave or leave rubbish in non-approved bags. The Refuse transfer station is only 3 minutes drive away, along the road to Arrowtown. Turn right at the BP Connect and watch for the AA sign.
You are the cleaners. Do not bring shame upon yourself and family! Please clean up any major mess and let us know if any special cleaning is required.
When leaving please wash all linen. You can leave clean wet washing to dry in the conservatory on the drying rack.
Use things but replace basic supplies for the next visitor. Please use the rule “Leave what you would like to find”.
