Relax by the fire in our beautifully restored miner’s cottage, circa 1900, surrounded by stunning West Coast mountains.

We had a wonderful stay at this holiday home Quentin's Cottage, place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location of the house and Mountain view from the window was spectacular. We highly recommend to stay here.
We loved our stay here. Property is clean and well presented. Host is fantastic, great communication and made sure we were well looked after. I'd have no hesitation recommending to others and will definitely stay again in the future.
The property was very clean, well set-up, close to everything and very comfortable. Host Sarah was great, very helpful and quick to respond. Highly recommend
Extremely cozy, Sarah is very thoughtful. I specifically picked it for the dvd collection and fireplace. I loved the additional touch with the aboriginal art as well. Quiet private street, had the best sleeps ;)

What a pleasant surprise this little gem was! What it lacked in immediate street appeal made up for it once you walked in the front door. Lovely colour pallet, furniture and nooks and crannies.
Such a delightful, quirky, and welcoming cottage. No internet was a big plus as we got to spend real quality time with the kids!
Super clean, very functional and all the creature comforts you could ask for.
Definetely recommend this gem.
Highly recommend this accomodation. They have thought of everything. A fireplace that warms the entire home and includes firewood. Electric blankets, hot water bottles and warm fluffy blankets to relax in front of the fireplace. It’s such a warm inviting place. The decor is beautiful and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need. Lots of games and interesting reads.Sarah was so helpful and was able to recommend so many things to make our stay more enjoyable including helping to find pet sitting for our four legged friend.Accomodation was a short stroll to the wilderness railway station and in to town. Thank you Sarah for letting us share your cozy little cottage.
The inside of the house has clearly been fully renovated, while the exterior keeps its "original" state. Inside everything was spotless and well-organised. I loved the copper sheet center island bench in the kitchen, I want the same in my home now. A very comfortable stay,even got a delivery of wood for the fire ( which you will need when cold)A couple of practical notes for future guests: there’s no hair dryer provided and no internet or TV reception. Normally that might not matter, but during a spell of cold, rainy weather my wife really wanted to dry her hair and we found using our phones 4G reception a bit patchy for data (1 bar) so if you have work teams/zoom it may be a problem. Not deal-breakers, just something worth knowing when you pack, queenstown is remote.
The cottage is spacious and comfortable, we had plenty of room to spread out. We found the couches super comfy and the kitchen well resourced with crockery, cooking needs etc. Our host was easy to communicate with. Thanks for a lovely stay.
