Immaculate Boathouse in Wine Country
Absolutely loved our stay at the Boathouse. The location in wine country is perfect- you can easily walk to several wineries, and the home itself was well stocked with all the supplies you need. I also need to comment on the decor- well styled and so adorable- everything is so well pulled together and quaint. We used the outdoor tub every night and enjoyed the stars too. Totally recommend.

Rustic country retreat
The Boathouse is a special dream for a creative couple. It is gorgeous and so authentically French in style you could be in Bordeaux somewhere. The huge outdoor bath while you watch the stars is a special experience. Warm and friendly communication from the hosts. A short drive to Arrowtown. Highly recommended.

Wow! Just Wow!
You will love everything about this beautiful property! The photos don't do it justice! The location and view is beautiful and I imagine would be at any time of the year! Every comfort has been thought of in this spotless, cosy, comfortable charming cottage! Shelley the owner has a fantastic eye for interior design! I'd get her to style my own home if I could! You are literally in walking distance of lovely wineries and it's a central location to visit all local attractions. Owners are on site, they are lovely charming people but are invisible unless you need them. Don't think about this place, just book it, you won't be disappointed. We hope to return in ski season! Thank you!

Peaceful and Comfortable
This is a charming accomodation both inside and out. We enjoyed the view and outside space as much as the inside, french country rooms. Clean, spacious and well appointed, we would return.

An amazingly pretty corner of Gibbston Valley!
A hidden gem! Quite a dainty cottage! The outdoor bath is heavenly! Well looked after section is fenced so our dog could run free on the property and explore. 🐶There also is a vege patch and many fruit trees there. I enjoyed few sweet pea snaps 😋 and fresh cous lettuce. There’s an outdoor dining area where we enjoyed our meals. We surely will go back.
