In this case, photos cannot possibly do the view justice! The cottage reminded us of family vacations on lakes in Maine, USA: cozy, well equipped, and with a few vacation home quirks. But between the views and proximity to Queenstown, it is incomparable. The lack of internet was the biggest bother for our family, and the option to purchase HQWIFI from a nearby motel did not provide a usable connection, which was just frustrating.
