As two friends holidaying in Queenstown, we found The Boathouse to be the perfect place to stay. We each had our own space in our own equally spacious, beautifully appointed bedrooms and the cottage was spotlessly clean and so comfortable. Shelley and Neil have thought of every detail - from the most comfortable of bedding and soft, fluffy bathrobes, to gorgeous furnishings and décor. The kitchen is small but well equipped. It has every pot, pan and utensil you may require to whip up a home cooked meal. The location is simply amazing – peaceful and incredibly beautiful. It’s away from the hustle and bustle yet only a short drive to Arrowtown and Queenstown. The wineries are right at the doorstep, and Kinross, just a short walk across the road, serves great food. Shelley and Neil are fantastic – so genuine and friendly with just the right mix of providing space but also being available. The 2 pooches, Frida and Dudley, are also a delight. They were always happy (and welcome!) to pop over for a visit, but they knew inside the cottage was off limits. All in all I would rate this stay higher than 5 stars if I could – thank you Shelley and Neil!
