We chose this cottage for the location and views and it did not disappoint! The views could not have been better. Something that surprised us was how beautiful the gardens and front porch were as well. Communicating with Georgie was easy and quick. The neighborhood is really nice as it is probably some of the best real estate in Queenstown.
However, do be aware that the cottage is aged - the fixtures, carpet, and beds are out of date. My husband and I found that the duvets on the bed sharply irritated some allergies (I don't know what for me) but the cottage is well stocked so we switched out the duvets for a few blankets from the closet and were okay after that.
We did not walk into town (we had a rental car) because it was too cold but it probably wouldn't have been a bad walk. We did not cook much either but it seemed that the kitchen was appropriately stocked (though only salt and pepper in the way of edibles, FYI, if you want sugar for your tea or oil there wasn't any).
Overall a lovely stay, even in the off season! We drank in the views every day and were sad to leave.
