    Central location right near DOC office and pick up for Routeburn. Very clean and comfortable. Love the pods with their private roller blind. Slept well. On the strength of this stay I’ve also booked into Lylo Auckland. Laundry facilities onsite. Kitchen was cramped but serviceable. Queenstown is super expensive would recommend the Bakery nearby on Shotover St for cheap sandwiches and pastries. 2 supermarkets a short 10 minutes walk away for tramping refuel.
