Wow! This is a very beautiful cottage in a very beautiful place. Shelley and Neil were so lovely on arrival and though their home is just there, the boathouse offered wonderful privacy both inside and out. Freda and Dudley, their gorgeous dogs did like to visit (never inside the cottage - very well trained) but only because we said that was ok with us - they are both lovely, gentle dogs. The cottage is so thoughtfully decorated with such lovely furniture and ornaments. The beds were sooo comfortable and had very good linens. The attention to detail kept us discovering beautiful things for the entire stay. We really enjoyed the outside area with coffee and croissants looking out at the central Otago landscape. Thank you to Shelley and Neil - we will definitely recommend the Boathouse and hope to be back soon.
