Kinross Cottages was lovely. The setting is great. Lovely ducks to feed at the pond and lovely walks around the property. It is easy to get to Queenstown and Cromwell from here. The cottage was gorgeous and very peaceful

Gorgeous place to stay and lovely, helpful and friendly front of house team! This is the only place I have stayed at that I would ever make a point of rebooking. Typically we just go wherever is available however it is well worth the short drive out of QT, the scenery, ambience and hospitality.
