A truly beautiful cottage and location.
Pleasant drive to Arrowtown, Cromwell, and Queenstown. Very close to a number of lovely wineries.
So nice to enjoy the surroundings of the cottage as well.
A bonus was access to bikes and a BBQ.
Hosts had great communication and were on hand, but it was very private as well.
Loved it!

We greatly enjoyed our two-night stay in this charming cottage.
The Gibbston Valley area is majestic, with many wineries and the wonderful Gibbston Tavern to dine at.
The cottage has everything you need, and is warm and inviting. Matt was very helpful when we were troubled by a noisy fridge!

This is a beautiful cottage. Location is perfect for touring vineyards, in fact we walked to a few. Stocked with everything you need for a wonderfully relaxing stay.
Matt and Lisa were very attentive without being intrusive. Check in was easy even although we arrived earlier that expected. Visits from Lily the lab were always fun.
Would stay again in a heartbeat.
