Comfortable and spacious cottage. Modern appliances and facilities. Great that there was a kitchenette and laundry available to use. If possible, would recommend moving the microwave, it’s too high for someone short like me and not safe when taking out hot food. Beautiful views outside of the mountains. Not too far away is the lake to walk/sit along. The room was decently cleaned, however did notice a few cobwebs around the walls - only really noticeable in certain light though. One downside was the wifi that kept cutting out for me :/ Location is very close to airport so keep in mind you can hear planes flying over, if that really bothers you. Other than that, still highly recommend this cottage to stay in!

This place was super nice with all modern amenities, even air conditioning! AIR CONDITIONING!! The only concern for staying here would be that its near an airport. That wasn't an issue for the wife and I because we love planes, but the sound could be a turn off for others. Otherwise, this place is super comfortable and we stayed there multiple nights and felt right at home. This place has beautiful views and was very spacious. The shower was one of the best I had the pleasure of using in our twelve day honeymoon, staying in a new place almost every night. Stay here if you are in the area, you won't regret it!

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.

Get checkin instructions and code before arrival! We really had poor start. Reserved 72 hours before arrival. Received confirmation. No further instructions given. Arrived to find everything locked and no answers at property manager phone. Sent text to only get reply it may take a few days. No compensation offered for more than an hour of scrambling. Poor management. Really felt compensation would have been in order. We really felt stuck. Few alternative options. Thankful for Expedia.

We chose to stay at the Shotover Country Cottages during our heli wedding elopement in Queenstown. We saw the pictures online and thought it looked very nice but once we actually arrived we were even more impressed and surprised at just how beautiful the surrounding scenery and the peaceful setting was! The cottages are tucked away in a quiet corner at the end of the street and have the best views of the valley in our opinion, especially with the evening sun, it is absolutely stunning. There is a ranch style feel to the cottage which makes you feel like you are in the country even though you are only a 10 minute drive from Frankton and another 10 minutes more to downtown Queenstown. Everything was very neat and clean when we arrived and well organized with every necessity you would need, including all kitchen appliances and even a washer and dryer in the bathroom. Luke, the host, was very friendly and accommodating over the phone if guests require any special requests. At the end of our heli wedding, we even chose to take some evening lighting photos in the front lawn area and family members that were visiting the main house even stopped to take some photos of us together which was so kind. The check in/check out process was super convenient with a simple lockbox and key. There was plenty of parking out front and the outside area was very well maintained. Would highly recommend anyone staying near Queenstown to check this place out!

Location location location applies to this property. Very nice spot in great area. Property is clean but lacks attention to detail. Large space but lacks on the little things that makes your stay that bit better and would qualify for 5stars all over. Non coffee table, no little tables to put drinks on, lousy internet. Had to use my sim data. I would return for sure but a little more attention to the minimal things would add so much.
