Orchard Cottage- Lake Hayes

This property is delightful, Jane is a fabulous host who goes above & beyond to make you feel welcome. From the delicious home baked jam cakes on arrival to the well stocked pantry & treats. We loved the beautiful location, close enough to Queenstown to visit but able to enjoy the peace of Lake Hayes & surrounds. Jane supplies plenty of useful information about places to visit & activities in the area. A wonderful start to our NZ holiday. We were grateful for Janes hospitality, the best place we stayed in during our travels & hope to return again. Thankyou Cherie & Jacqui.

Beautiful Orchard Cottage

My friend and I had the most wonderful 4 night stay at Orchard Cottage near Arrowtown, whilst in the middle of us touring New Zealand's South Island. The cottage was immaculate and every detail for our comfort was thoroughly thought through. Our hostess, Jane, is a lovely, interesting lady, who enquired each day if we were happy in the cottage. She also gave us great ideas as to what was available in Arrowtown village. The cottage is only 20 minutes drive from the tourist hub of Queenstown. Our stay could not have been better.

About the host

Hosted by JaneEB

We are a middle-aged couple who have travelled extensively and like to share our little piece of paradise with guests. We live on the property but the cottage is 40m away from the main house and behind a hedge for total privacy. Come and enjoy a relaxing break with kiwis who care about other kiwis in these uncertain times.
PLEASE NOTE: If Covid Alert Level restrictions prevent you from travelling, we will refund your stay in full. We cannot however guarantee the Airbnb fees will be refunded as this is out of our control.

Why they chose this property

Our mountain and rural views are exceptional and yet we are only minutes away from all Arrowtown and Queenstown have to offer. We are happy to share our local knowledge but will leave you to enjoy the peace and tranquility our rural environment offers if you prefer. You are welcome to pick fruit from our little orchard in season.

What makes this property unique

Many cycle, walking trails, skiing, golf and adventure tourism activities all very accessible. Lake Hayes for swimming and walking is a short walk away and Arrowtown with its many restaurants, cafes, wineries only minutes away by car.
Less than 10 minutes to Coronet Peak skifield which can be seen from the property as can The Remarkables.
