If you want a base near Queenstown (it's about 40 minutes away) but like peace and quiet this place is for you! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this cottage and were so glad to meet Jo, our host, for a lovely chat- she also had some interesting suggestions for our drive back to Christchurch which we enjoyed. The cottage is charming and spotlessly clean, with comfy furnishings and linens. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering and Jo very kindly left us a bowl of delicious fresh local fruit and a bowl of what I can only think were home grown tomatoes, they were so sweet and yummy! The cottage was easy to find and very close to lovely Lake Dunstan and the heritage part of town. It's also a short drive from the charming heritage towns of Clyde in one direction and Arrowtown in another so day trips are easy. So glad we stayed here!
