It’s perfect for visiting wineries, close to Arrowtown and Queenstown, but also so private and peaceful you may not want to leave. Lovingly decorated and cared for, and including everything you may need to cook and relax under the stars. Many thanks to our wonderful hosts, we hope to see you again soon! :) ##### Alena S.

We loved our stay at “the Boathouse”! Absolutely stunning area, with snow capped mountain views and super close to a bunch of winery’s and a close drive to Arrowtown. Fireplace was perfect, beautiful gardens and so very peaceful. Wishing we could have stayed longer and enjoyed the gorgeous outdoor bath that we sadly didn’t get to try out. Lovely hosts who were responsive to messages, super helpful and friendly, whilst also allowing privacy for us as we stayed. We wouldn’t hesitate to book in again and stay at this gorgeous cottage. ##### Rachael S. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie M., Vancouver, B.C.

The location in wine country is perfect- you can easily walk to several wineries, and the home itself was well stocked with all the supplies you need. I also need to comment on the decor- well styled and so adorable- everything is so well pulled together and quaint. We used the outdoor tub every night and enjoyed the stars too. Totally recommend. ##### Stephanie M.

It is gorgeous and so authentically French in style you could be in Bordeaux somewhere. The huge outdoor bath while you watch the stars is a special experience. Warm and friendly communication from the hosts. A short drive to Arrowtown. Highly recommended. ##### Mike C.

A hidden gem! Quite a dainty cottage! The outdoor bath is heavenly! Well looked after section is fenced so our dog could run free on the property and explore. 🐶There also is a vege patch and many fruit trees there. I enjoyed few sweet pea snaps 😋 and fresh cous lettuce. There’s an outdoor dining area where we enjoyed our meals. We surely will go back. ##### Adipa B.

You will love everything about this beautiful property! The photos don't do it justice! The location and view is beautiful and I imagine would be at any time of the year! Every comfort has been thought of in this spotless, cosy, comfortable charming cottage! Shelley the owner has a fantastic eye for interior design! I'd get her to style my own home if I could! You are literally in walking distance of lovely wineries and it's a central location to visit all local attractions. Owners are on site, they are lovely charming people but are invisible unless you need them. Don't think about this place, just book it, you won't be disappointed. We hope to return in ski season!
