We had a fabulous time staying at this little cottage in the mountains. Glenorchy is the perfect spot if you want the beauty of the mountains and lake without the bustle of Queenstown. It is so peaceful and the cottage has everything you need - including magnificent view! It is a short walk from the little township where you can get food, beer, wine and coffee, and the pub there is great. If you want to cater for yourself in the cottage maybe just pick up a few extra bits and pieces en route - like foil and cling film. For a big shop I would get a lot of your groceries on the way. We found the little Glenorchy store good for little things (bread, milk, canned goods, booze etc) and you could definitely make do with what you can find in town, but you would need to go to Queenstown East for a big full grocery shop. Christine provided us with a beautiful bunch of fresh herbs though, which helped turn our lamb steaks into a fancy herb stuffed roulade! Otherwise it's everything you expect and need - quaint, comfortable, quiet, clean and well equipped. Would highly recommend.
