Simply wonderful

The photos advertising the cottage dont come close to doing it justice. The owners have paid attention to the minutest of detail and the cottage is beautifully furnished. The owners were very welcoming and had even made tasty flapjacks for us to enjoy. Beautiful and quiet setting and would definitely book again in the future.

Absolutely Fantastic!

Gorgeous wee spot on Lake Hayes. Quiet. Comfortable. Easy access to the lake track. Lovely hosts! Felt like we were miles away from everything, yet we were close to all that the valley has to offer. Highly recommend.

Exquisite, beautiful, clean and quiet : All in one experience.

This is our 3rd stay at Tussock Cottage. I've been communicating with Jaap, and he and his wife are wonderful hosts. As usual, the place is tidy and clean, and our needs are cared for. You can feel the countryside living but at the same time well equipped with your modern needs. We'd always try to book in with Tussock Cottage whenever we travel to Queenstown. Looking forward to stay here again. Francis & Deviga
