Shotover Country Cottages

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!

The view and cleanliness

Clean room and lovely views.

Clean room, great views, quiet.

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.

Clean and modern. Well equipped. Wifi is slow. Great view from unit.

Perfect position out of town being peaceful. The cottage was clean, roomy and well equipped. Highly recommend.

Nice accommodation and location. Able to watch the planes land at Queenstown Airport from the bedroom window. Was clean, quiet, and had a good washer and dryer.

Everything was clean, very quiet place and comfortable. Had a wonderful time here.

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!

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.

The cottage was spacious with very serviceable self contained facilities, including kitchen cooking facilties, washing machine, clean and spacious bathroom and very comfortable large bed. The verandah views were awesome as was the very hospitable help of the host.

Great view. Comfort bed. Washing machine and driver works. It would be nice to have rack to dry dishes.

Lovely and new overlooking the hills. I really appreciated the washer and dryer and powder being in the unit.

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!

Room was nice but location was right under the flight path of aircraft landing at the the airport.

This is an unique property - gorgeous views, comfortable and spacious. About a 10 minute drive into Queenstown - loved it.

Beautiful location and accomodation, and easy communication. Private unit from city with the most beautiful view, definitely recommend staying here

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

Pretty and comfortable. Only one concern is that the cleaning staff were walking in front of our room which has large windows and this reduced our privacy at that time.

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.

It was very quiet with beautiful views and only a 15 minute drive to town .

Amazing view and nice short distance out of town so its convenient and peaceful. Great amenities and amazing shower. Nice big bed is always a plus too.

Excellent location, great outlook and nice and quiet.

We loved our stay at Shotover Country Cottages. So peaceful and yet close to everything. Highly recommend. Thank you

Terrific location if you want a relaxed self cooking place that has amazing views. The outlook is amazing and Arrowtown and Queenstown are only a short drive. It is in a suburban location so no restaurants etc.

Perfect position out of town being peaceful. The cottage was clean, roomy and well equipped. Highly recommend.

The view of the hillside was beautiful and the property obviously lovingly maintained. We really enjoyed being close to Queenstown but not in it. A great two night stay.

Room was nice but location was right under the flight path of aircraft landing at the the airport.

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