What an amazing spot. We stayed in the cottages for 2 nights with friends. Was much more relaxing and spacious than a hotel room. The decor is lovely and comfortable. Jennifer is great and really responsive to messages etc

so very easy to recommend this perfect holiday accommodation. We had stayed before but still got the WOW on arrival and when gazing out the window at the stunning vista. We appreciated the gorgeous, peaceful, natural environment and all the comfy, relaxing inclusions at the cottage. Clever laundry, drying room and storage for sports gear ideal for bikes, skies, golf clubs and our walking shoes 😸.

Exceptional in every way. Stunning views and beautiful cottages. The owners are super friendly and helpful. We stayed for three nights and didn’t want to leave. Superb equipped and you want for nothing. The very best of self catering accommodation.

My friends and family stayed at the cottages in November for my wedding. The accommodation and location was excellent. I would highly recommend to anyone planning a wedding in Queenstown. The hosts were amazing and the facilities second to none.

We stayed at Villa Luna. The villa was nicely appointed with a warm welcoming feel. The villa was well equipped and felt new and fresh. We loved the day bed by the window and next to fireplace to chill out after a day of ski and enjoy the beautiful views of lake Hayes and the mountain range in the back ground. Our little daughter loved the shipskin beanbag to relax with us next to the daybed. Rob the manager was very friendly and always wanting to help if we had any questions.Finally, the villas are well located being a 20 minutes drives to Coronet Peak, Queesntown and Arrowtown, which was perfect for us.

This venue is absolutely sublime ... we could not have asked for better accommodation and location to host our clients from overseas. We spent three nights at The Cottages, each of us in separate bedrooms in different cottages, and found the rooms private, and with excellent amenities and facilities. Beautifully decorated, cosy furnishings, exceptionally clean, stunning views of the lake, wood fire, fully functional kitchen, and excellent water pressure for showers. Luxury accommodation which blew our client's socks off! I must also mention that our hosts during our stay were super communicative, uber helpful, and wonderful human beings! We will definitely be staying here again ... there is nothing like it in the Queenstown area :)

We'd highly recommend The Cottages. It was the perfect place to stay. So much so that we stayed 3 more nights! We stayed in Alta and Luna - both were cosy and homely but with that luxe feel. The beds were comfy with lovely, soft linen; the showers were hot with great waterflow (double shower heads); the lounge setup worked well with four people - loved the bean bag and window seat with mountain and lake views; even the lighting was well-thought out. The hot tub in Luna hit the spot! Even in the rain, it was beautiful just soaking while looking at that view - the snow really stands out on the mountains at night. Kirsty was exceptional at communicating - fast, helpful, and friendly. With The Cottages, she and Justin have created that perfect situation where luxury feels warm, inviting, and comfy! Thanks - we'll definitely be back :)

Absolutely loved the cottages! Chilled bubbles in the fridge, chocolate and a handwritten welcome note. Hot tub was amazing, the gardens, clean place and comfortable. Just what we needed. Everything was awesome! Thank you!
