Apple Tree Cottage - Just minutes from Queenstown Central
Summary
This lovely 4 bed 2 bath home is located in the quiet suburb of Quail Rise not far from Queenstown Central Shopping Centre. No matter the season from our warm summers to winters white with snow you can enjoy beautiful walks along the river, mountain bike trails, ski fields, day trips to Arrowtown or Lake Wanaka and starry night skies or you may just wish to sit back and enjoy the view of the Remarkable Mountains with a local Central Otago wine.
Two parking spaces available on the driveway.
Interaction
Someone from The Butler is just a phone call away if required.
Neighborhood
Quail Rise is a quiet residential area. Although you feel like you are away from it all you are so close to shops, restaurants, ski fields and the airport. You also have access to a variety of walking and biking tracks. Less than a 10 minute walk away is the Shotover River and the historic old bridge. There's even a children's play park, neighbourhood tennis court and basketball hoop within easy walking distance of the house.
Access
You have access to the whole house except the garage which will be locked.
Space
The open plan living area of the house boasts a sunny lounge and dining table which allows you to sit and relax while taking in the views of the Remarkable Mountains. The house has a lovely fully equipped modern kitchen. The wood fire is yelling at you to grab a good book and a drink (wine or coffee depending on the time of day) and making yourself comfortable on the couch - you may never want to leave.
The fully equipped kitchen is a great place to prepare some fantastic local foods for your family or group. Can't you just imagine the smells you could come home to after a days skiing or exploring if you put the slow cooker on before you headed out for the day. We also have a rice cooker, air fryer and sandwich press to give you a variety of cooking options.
There is a cosy TV room featuring a flat screen smart TV which has Free 2 Air and is Netflix capable. We also have a Playstation 4
There are four bedrooms to choose from Bed 1 (Master): 1 x King - with Ensuite Bed 2: 1 x Queen bed - Shares bathroom with Beds 3 & 4 Bed 3: 1 x Queen bed - Shares bathroom with Beds 2 & 4 Bed 4: 1 Single + 1 Trundle Bed - Shares bathroom with Beds 2 & 3
The large backyard is the perfect place for families, couples, friends and large groups. There are two separate outdoor areas including a BBQ and wall hung herb garden. The lush lawns are perfect for the kids to run around on in the long Otago summers.

An amazing and comfortable property set in tranquil surroundings, away for the hustle and bustle of the centre of Queenstown, yet easy to get into the centre if needed, and perfectly located for some of the great wineries and attractions arpund and about.
Good location away from the chaos of downtown if you are looking to get out in see things around Queenstown. Yet, also go to restaurants and services close by.
Warm and Clean.
Several items required in the kitchen, were missing.
Neglected gardens with difficult car access.
Grossly expensive

Snow snow everywhere
Winter snowfall turned our stay into a winter wonderland. House was fantastic, well equipped for a school holiday family ski trip . Cozy log fire, 20 mins to ski fields, 7 mins to Frankton shops yet quiet and chilled. Loved watching Harry Potter 1,2 and 3 with the kids on the big screen after a big day on the mountains .
