Rustic feel, tremendous views of Mt Sefton and beyond. No groceries in town but YHA does have some basics. Very clean, great staff, comfy. Feels like a lodge with great views from the dining area.

When we got there it was quite late in the day due to the distance from Dunedin, we had some …

Von Queenstown fuehrte unsere Reise zum hoechsten Berg Ozeaniens (3754 m). Nachdem Mt. Cook allerdings mit Schnee bedeckt ist, konnten wir leider nicht hochklettern - kleiner Scherz am Rande - das wuerde ein paar Tage dauern um diesen Berg zu besteigen. Das kleine Dorf am Fusse des Berges, in dem wir fuer eine Nacht unser Lager aufschlugen, liegt …

Despite going to bed quite early, we didn't feel refreshed at all the next morning. It must have been the extremely soft matress which made you "jump" if the other half moved ... ;) ... On a brighter note, we were awaken by "live music" coming from the nearby park where bands were playing bagpipes. After a cuppa, we checked out and cruised along …
