Queenstown - Covid 19 Update

01 May 2020

Good morning friends and family,

We sincerely hope that where ever you are, near or far, that during these times you and your family are safe and healthy.  Travel may not be an option now, but sometime soon, the boarders will reopen and we'll be back to hosting you in our awesome apartments overlooking Lake Wakatipu.

For now we thought you may appreciate an update on what is happening in both Queenstown, and New Zealand.

Having moved from Level 4 to Level 3 lockdown, there is a fraction more relaxation to our lockdown.  Our bubbles have been extended by 'one degree' and home delivery services are up and running.   Our Covid-19 infections statistics are declining and the government believes that we have beaten the virus being tranmitted via communities.    The light is certainly on at the end of the tunnel!

In the mean time, we thought the following sites may be helpful if you are looking for further information about Queenstown and it's place amongst the pandemic.
