FOLDING DOORS: Summer is here: Most of the Doors and the Kitchen Window open up fully. Open the Door with the Lock and Handle. Flick the Latches that are in the Door Frame next to the open door. Turn the Handle(s) on the far door Right and Up and then fold doors.

FEATURES: Too many but here are some. The Views, the views and the views. The Big Bath. Switch on the mood lights, and light the candles....mmmm. Still awake? The Deck has a water feature and lighting that sets the mood after dark ... or cook up a storm on the BBQ in Summer. The switches are on the right side of the Deck Door. If your game, inside the coffee table is Scrabble, a poker set and a 24 game pack.

THINGS TO DO: Nothing or many things. Check out our Things To Do Folder, or look inside the coffee table. Our favourites include a trip to Deer Park. Tip: take a $20 note to get in the automatic gate and take some $2 dollar coins to buy animal food for all the strange animals. Take the Gondola ride at dusk. Take a Jet Boat Ride on the Shotover River. Ski (of course). Ride the Luge at the top of the Gondola Ride. Drive to Wanaka over the Alpine Road. Visit the many wineries and galleries in the area. Take a helicopter ride to Milford Sound. Cruise the lake on the SS Earnslaw. It's endless really.

FOOD AND DRINK: Yum. Have a drink at Minus 5. Have an "Anzac Biscuit" at the Lone Star Tavern. Have a coffee at Old Man Rock Cafe in Queenstown. Get some Fish and Chips from Aggys at the lake or at Fernhill Fish and Chip. It's all good really.

Eating in? Shop at Frankton for good value and fresh mussels at the supermarket. For Food exotique definitely go to the Mediterranean Market at the corner of Gorge and Robins Road. Turn into Robins Road and look left. They have great coffee there as well.
