A lovely place to stay just outside Queenstown. Beauriful scenery & very comfortable accomodation.

We loved staying here. It was our last stop before heading home & a very relaxing & comfortable place. Two nights was not quite enough! Some lovely touches to make it a memorable experience. If we come back to the area we’d definitely return here. Thank you Lynn & Tony
