Southern Comforts

Queenstown. May 2009 Ajr Queenstown is one of those places that has so many tourist beds that the matter of choice can be daunting. So let me point you in the direction of the rural luxuries of White Shadows Country Inn, which sits comfortably under the mountains between Queenstown and Arrowtown. A huge contemporary sculpture welcomes you on to the peaceful four hectares and your American hosts, William Bailey and Michael Harris will set about spoiling you the minute you step out of your car. The catch is, there's only two plush rooms here, so you need to be quick - and you'l;l remember breakfast long after the event. www.whiteshadows.co.nz.
