About this property
C Wise Cottage - Glenorchy
Very Old and Rustic.
If you are inspired by old, rustic things and being cosy this cottage is the one. The cottage is well over 100 yrs old but has had some TLC to keep it alive, it is fully fenced with plenty of room for all to zoom around.
As with any old place there are quirks and oddities but lying in the big old bath looking outside is a must. The toilet is an oldie but a goody. It is outside about 15 meters away from the Cottage. For the timid, it doesn't have a flush button!!
The cottage is fully self contained so all you need is your food, there is a wee general store, however the main grocery shops are 45kms away back in Queenstown!!
Everything in the Glenorchy township is within walking distance, it is just a small place, quiet and surrounded by mountains but offers a lot of activities for all ages. We have most things here, Pubs, cafes,playgrounds, horses,tramping,jet boats, "huntin' and fishin", swimming pool or for the slightly mad "the lake", tennis courts and a nine hole golf course which just so happens to be right across the road as is the lovely "Boardwalk".
Please note# We are a 45 minute - 1 hour drive from Queenstown at the head of the lake.
Special conditions:
Cost is $160 per night for two and $20 per person after that.
For smokers, there's plenty of undercover space outside!!
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$30.00 per stay); Linen (included);
