Luxurious accommodation overlooking Lake Hayes We had a delightful five stay at the cottages. They are very well appointed with two equally comfortably bedrooms. A great kitchen if you want to cook and a cosy living area with a potbelly which gave out incredible heat. Amazing views over Lake Hayes.

A most idyllic location, right on lake Hayes. More peaceful than Queenstown yet only a short drive when you want to go there. We found the location close to everything you would typically want to do in the area, Arrowtown, Gibbston Valley, on the way to Wanaka, Coronet Peak…. The...
