The cottage was very cold on arrival. Colder inside than ourside. It was freezing inside and took a while to heat.

Comfortable, large room with all the amenities you need. The only downside was the terrible internet - at times we had no connection, at others it was very slow.

The flightpath of Queenstown airport was both noisy and amusing.
It was good to finally get an accommodation that you could hang up coats, etc, but the closet only had 4 hangers...more would have been nice for our 4 day stay.

Great view and very private. All the amenities needed to self-cater and generally well equipped. Walking trails nearby. Fascinating watching the planes land and takeoff at nearby Queenstown airport and this was not disruptive at all. The view and scenery are worth it in themselves.

The accommodation was compact and clean, and quiet at night. The only drawback was the slow internet. Best to get a local SIM and use the data.

Private, spacious, warm with a stunning outlook over the Shotover River and ranges. We were delighted that we could see the lights on the Cadrona Ski Field from our room! Meticulously clean and fantastic ammenities. A short but scenic drive (10 mins) from Queenstown so perfect if you’ve hired a car. Can’t wait for our next trip here!

Great views, quiet location, modern well appointed unit. Quiet and comfortable. It is situated in a residential area so you must drive for shops, bars restaurants etc, but we were aware of this beforehand, so didn't bother us at all

This was an awesome place for us to stay - close to family in Shotover Country and easy to get to the Gibbston Valley concert that we were attending.
