We loved Denise’s place. It is inherently beautiful in a remarkable part of NZ and all is as she says it is only better. It’s about 75 minutes from Queenstown and we think it is an excellent alternative to the touristy Queenstown. The cottage is charming and imaginatively decorated - check out the shower control. Denise goes above and beyond with fruit, wine, bread, jams and butter. The barbecue was great and we found just sitting in the garden to be extremely pleasant. Try dinner at Oliver’s in Clyde. And lunch at the Spearglass
