The views don't get much better than the ones surrounding the cottage! It's a short walk to the town where you can get a few things to eat and supplies, but you may want to stock up on food in Queenstown if you plan to stay in to eat. Very quiet and peaceful. The waterways and mountain scenery are spectacular. We stayed here the last 2 nites of our trip...it's a bit of a drive back to Queenstown, but the views are worth it! Thank you for your prompt responses, Christine!! We enjoyed our stay.
