Lovely cottage in the hills
Just a special place close to everything but quiet. Great surroundings and evening walks in the hills. Amazing mornings like your staying on a sheep station but 30 mins to Queenstown.

Quiet spot, convenient location
Beautiful property, with an away from it all feel but close to tourist spots and glorious scenery.
Took a bit of finding ( we were travelling from the Queenstown direction) but once you are off the main road you feel totally away from it all.
Highly recommend the cottage.

Peaceful out of the way
This property was a great stay, with two adults and three kids there was plenty of room. It is a great spot for a base to go off and do your activities.
It was clean and very well presented. well positioned on the property. If you love the south island mountains it's a great place to enjoy them. We highly recommend this property.
