Gorgeous Rustic Cottage in an unbeatable setting!

From the moment I inquired, Jeremy was easy to contact, endlessly helpful, and genuinely wanted to make sure we would be comfortable and happy staying at the cottage.

Being just out of Arrowtown, he made sure we knew our way to both the necessities and the local attractions.

Feeling like we were in the wilderness, but being only 5 minutes drive to Arrowtown shops and 15 minutes to Queenstown, the location was incredible. Not to mention the amazing views on all sides (particularly whilst enjoying a cuppa at the breakfast table).

The home itself was very tastefully presented, in keeping with the mountain getaway headline. Crackling log fire was already roaring on arrival. The living /kitchen /dining / games room downstairs was a great space that kept the family together and felt very cosy. Bathroom is stunning and has a wet room style overhead shower and a deep bath (also has a heater for the chilly mornings!) Access to the bedrooms upstairs is via an external stairway, which I'm sure may be a little outside some peoples comfort zone, but we found it fine, only really going up the stairs to sleep, and coming down them to start the day.

Just as inviting was being able to go for amazing walks around the homestead, with trails leading through pine forests, around their vineyard (their pinot gris is amazing!) and down to the river below making for a great start or finish to the day!

The hosts, Jeremy and Vicki, are endearing, good hearted people that really want to make sure you enjoy your stay any way they can. They were always available and incredibly helpful, all whilst they were in preparation for the arrival of their first born! we thought this was unbelievably selfless in what was surely, a frantic and stressful time in their lives.

For anyone looking for a tranquil setting for their holiday in this beautiful part of the world, I couldn't recommend this place highly enough. It's far enough away from everything to feel rural and serene, but a short drive will have you bustling through all that Arrowtown and Queenstown have to offer. So much better than having to choose between amenity and seclusion.

I don't think we'll ever stay anywhere else when coming to this part of the world.

Many, Many thanks to Jeremy and Vicki for offering such a lovely experience.
