We absolutely looooved the cottage!! It was just so perfect for us in every way! Plenty of space, clean, comfy bed, so quiet and I loved the big shower! Also, I am obsessed with the big wooden sliding door to the bedroom haha. We were able to store our mountain bikes in the garage when we weren’t using them which was so great and having access to a washing machine was so handy given we were out and about mountain biking most days getting dirty! Pip and her husband are so lovely and accomodating, we felt right at home and I could’ve stayed there forever haha. We didn’t mind at all being further out of town, the peace and quiet suited us wonderfully plus the drive into and out of town is stunning! Never got sick of it! The hot plates and BBQ for cooking worked absolutely fine for us too. We definitely will be staying at the cottage again next time we visit Queenstown! Thanks so much for having us Pip! :)
