It’s perfect for visiting wineries, close to Arrowtown and Queenstown, but also so private and peaceful you may not want to leave.

The location in wine country is perfect- you can easily walk to several wineries, and the home itself was well stocked with all the supplies you need. I also need to comment on the decor- well styled and so adorable- everything is so well pulled together and quaint. We used the outdoor tub every night and enjoyed the stars too.

We loved our stay at “the Boathouse”! Absolutely stunning area, with snow capped mountain views and super close to a bunch of winery’s and a close drive to Arrowtown. Fireplace was perfect, beautiful gardens and so very peaceful. Wishing we could have stayed longer and enjoyed the gorgeous outdoor bath that we sadly didn’t get to try out. Lovely hosts who were responsive to messages, super helpful and friendly, whilst also allowing privacy for us as we stayed. We wouldn’t hesitate to book in again and stay at this gorgeous cottage. ##### Rachael S. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike C.

Every comfort has been thought of in this spotless, cosy, comfortable charming cottage! Shelley the owner has a fantastic eye for interior design! I'd get her to style my own home if I could! You are literally in walking distance of lovely wineries and it's a central location to visit all local attractions. Owners are on site, they are lovely charming people but are invisible unless you need them. Don't think about this place, just book it, you won't be disappointed. We hope to return in ski season!

Gorgeous rustic french style vibes. The location is idyllic and surrounded by stunning vistas and countryside. Arrowtown and other visits moments away. Shelley and Neil were wonderful hosts. We will definitely be back! Thanks for a wonderful stay. Ruth ##### Ruth R.
