Peaceful beautiful location. Short drive into Queenstown and the most comfortable bed.

Comfortable, large room with all the amenities you need. The only downside was the terrible internet - at times we had no connection, at others it was very slow.
This property is amazing! The view alone is worth staying here. The bed was so comfortable! I would recommend this property if you have a vehicle and LOVE fantastic views!
Great location, well appointed and warm. Really cold couple of days in Queenstown and the cottage was great (watching the snow fall). Comfortable bed and great shower. Excellant place to come back to after skiing. Great hosts
The flightpath of Queenstown airport was both noisy and amusing.
It was good to finally get an accommodation that you could hang up coats, etc, but the closet only had 4 hangers...more would have been nice for our 4 day stay.
Great view and very private. All the amenities needed to self-cater and generally well equipped. Walking trails nearby. Fascinating watching the planes land and takeoff at nearby Queenstown airport and this was not disruptive at all. The view and scenery are worth it in themselves.
Private, spacious, warm with a stunning outlook over the Shotover River and ranges. We were delighted that we could see the lights on the Cadrona Ski Field from our room! Meticulously clean and fantastic ammenities. A short but scenic drive (10 mins) from Queenstown so perfect if you’ve hired a car. Can’t wait for our next trip here!

Highly recommend!!
The views were amazing. We had the convenience of a washer and dryer which came in handy a lot for our extended stay. Thank you Shotover Country Cottages!
Great views, quiet location, modern well appointed unit. Quiet and comfortable. It is situated in a residential area so you must drive for shops, bars restaurants etc, but we were aware of this beforehand, so didn't bother us at all

This was an awesome place for us to stay - close to family in Shotover Country and easy to get to the Gibbston Valley concert that we were attending.
Such an incredible view and a cosy place to stay! The check in process was swift and autonomous — as was checking out.
Would definitley stay here again in a heartbeat — thank you Luke and Shotover Country Cottages team!

Quiet with great view, comfy bed and lots of space in the cottage - perfect for a few nights.
Really nice view, cottages are very modern and have all you need, smart TV was a nice bonus. We will defiantly be staying again.

The cottage was clean, tidy and warm. It had everything we needed for a week long stay. It is close to local amenities for shopping, walking and biking. Far enough away from the hubbub of Queenstown to enable you to see another part of this beautiful area.
We would thoroughly recommend this cottage for your stay.

Quiet get away
We had a lovely stay at Shotover Country Cottages. I didn't realise it was so far out of Queenstown town but was very quiet and beautiful outlook. Was very clean. We would have enjoyed a couch or lounging chairs and also perhaps a small table outside to enjoy drinks and nibbles on the deck. Also there was no milk so couldn't enjoy a morning coffee to our liking.
Great views. Out of town so it's nice and quiet, except for the planes and Shotover River boats. Only negative with the cottages....they need privacy screens on the verandah so you can sit looking at the view without seeing those in the adjoining cottage doing likewise. All in all, a great place. Highly recommend it.

Well appointed, excellent view, great experience; no issues of concern
I like that the property had a lovely view, easy to park and close to all that Queenstown had to offer. I was not so thrilled that the flat next door had been rented out to a different party (unknown to us) so in the morning if you were sitting out on your deck it’s wasn’t so private. Maybe need some Screening so you are able to enjoy all the space.
Great location, clean and quiet. Great views! Easy communication. Only negative thing was that the bed was waaay too soft!

The property was great with an amazing view. Loved that it was just outside the main city centre. Hosts were lovely and great with communication. We ran out of toilet paper but a quick phone call fixed that. Will definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting Queenstown.
Excellent... Everything is complete! So clean and stunning view from the patio.
However recommend to rent a car as it is quite a distance from the town
Loved the quiet and convenient location, perfect for our snow holiday. Spacious cottage contained everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. Unfortunately hot water stopped working mid-shower and the water was freezing cold. Called for help and was promptly assisted allowing us to go to the next cottage to use the hot water there. Kettle was shockingly dirty so we used a pot for boiling water.

Thanks for the feedback - our housekeeper will monitor the kettles from now on. It was caused by mineral build-up.
Excellent place to stay out of Queenstown. Quick and easy to travel to ski fields.
Comfortable, good kitchen and bathroom. Plenty of space inside to relax.
