My wife and I spent part of our honeymoon in Queenstown, And had the pleasure of staying in Fiona's cottage overlooking the lake. The Cottage was set up nicely, with more than just the basics on hand, a modern, well equipped kitchen and comfy furnishing.
We loved relaxing on the deck soaking up the views and enjoying the beautiful flowers and fruit trees in the garden. Even when the weather was a bit chilly, we just sat in the loungeroom, the large windows allowing us a great indoor vantage point.
The cottage was in a great location, set apart from the hustle and bustle of Queenstown CBD, with the great little shopping centre at Remarkables Park only minutes away for all our supplies. Still only a quick drive to all the main attractions, but avoiding all the crowds for a more secluded stay.
Fiona was super helpful and answered all our questions and offered plenty of local advice on places to eat and things to see.
