Apple Tree Cottage - Just minutes from Queenstown Central

  • Summary

    Welcome to Apple Tree Cottage, a warm and spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home nestled in the peaceful suburb of Quail Rise.

    Perfect for families, friends, and groups, this comfortable Queenstown retreat offers the best of both worlds — a quiet residential setting while being only minutes from shops, restaurants, ski fields, wineries, and Queenstown’s town centre.

    Enjoy everything the region has to offer, from summer walks along the Shotover River and mountain biking trails to winter ski adventures, scenic drives to Arrowtown and Lake Wānaka, or relaxing evenings at home taking in the views of The Remarkables with a glass of local Central Otago wine.

    With generous living spaces, a large backyard, a cosy fireplace, and parking for two vehicles, Apple Tree Cottage is the perfect base for your Queenstown getaway.

Snow snow everywhere

Winter snowfall turned our stay into a winter wonderland. House was fantastic, well equipped for a school holiday family ski trip . Cozy log fire, 20 mins to ski fields, 7 mins to Frankton shops yet quiet and chilled. Loved watching Harry Potter 1,2 and 3 with the kids on the big screen after a big day on the mountains .
