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!

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.
