My family of 5 stayed 4 nights at Ngaire's cottage January 2020. Ngaire is super friendly, the cottage is quite new and very clean and well thought-out. My kids became great buddies with the resident horse, border collie and cat! The setting is incredible, 5-acre farm halfway up the mountain above wineries and vinyards, fresh mountain air, stunning panorama in all directions. Allow 30-minutes drive into Queenstown, 20 to Arrowtown. 20-minutes to gas and groceries before QT. Can be tricky to find first time - google maps can lead you a long way around. Look out for Gibbston Back Road turnoff, then after 1km turns to gravel, just after that look for row of colourful mailboxes - turn onto 600m gravel driveway and cottage is right at the top.
STay as long as you can, there is so much to do in the area and Ngaire's is a great base.
