Experience Central Otago
The Cottages are perfectly situated between historic Arrowtown and bustling Queenstown, on idyllic Lake Hayes, and conveniently close to Queenstown airport. The Cottages are the perfect place to stay, to enjoy and explore the beautiful Wakatipu Basin. The Cottages have direct access to the stunning 130km Queenstown Trail, are surrounded by the local ski fields, multiple world-class golf courses and all the adventure activities that Queenstown is renowned for. The cellar doors of Amisfield, Akarua, and Wet Jacket are within walking or biking distance and the vineyards of Gibbston Valley are a short drive away. It is all on your doorstep!
