Beautiful , private historic property with stone fences, rock crops, native birds and the distant sound of the river. You can soak all this up in your own outdoor bath for two people or sit by the outdoor fire tasting some of our local wine. We are close to the cycle track, Kawarau river, original Bungy bridge, ski fields and historic Arrowtown, with it's restaurants and shopping. Situated across the road from Kinross, where a restaurant/winery and bike hire is available. From Gibbston you can explore many wonderful areas, summer or winter. Have your camera ready for the many lakes, rivers and roads to wander. Ski fields close by Coronet, Cardrona and Remarkables.

Perfect cottage in a beautiful area in the country side surrounded by mountains! The host were lovely to meet and talk too! Had a very comfortable stay and would come back! Easy access to near by towns and located near mary wineries!
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.
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.
Luxurious gem in the heart of the Otago wine region
This incredible cottage was extremely comfortable and spacious, exactly as described and so charming! It’s perfect for visiting wineries, close to Arrowtown and Queenstown, but also so private and peaceful you may not want to leave. Lovingly decorated and cared for, and including everything you may need to cook and relax under the stars. Many thanks to our wonderful hosts, we hope to see you again soon! :)
Beautiful cottage, gorgeous peaceful area, surrounded by incredible views!
We loved our stay at “the Boathouse”! Absolutely stunning area, with snow capped mountain views and super close to a bunch of winery’s and a close drive to Arrowtown. Fireplace was perfect, beautiful gardens and so very peaceful. Wishing we could have stayed longer and enjoyed the gorgeous outdoor bath that we sadly didn’t get to try out. Lovely hosts who were responsive to messages, super helpful and friendly, whilst also allowing privacy for us as we stayed. We wouldn’t hesitate to book in again and stay at this gorgeous cottage.
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.
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.
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!

Beautifully styled accomodation with everything you could need at your fingertips and accommodating friendly hosts.
We have stayed across the road at Kinross for years and are glad we tried things out across the road at this bach. Loved our stay and looking forward to returning!
Perfect size to relax and stretch out for a couple of days. Everything we needed, so well presented, the whole experience was easy and the surroundings-just stunning. I highly recommend staying here

Thank you Shelley for hosting us, we had a beautiful, restful stay at your charming place. Thank you Vince for popping over to help us with the tub! We look forward to coming back again
Beautifully appointed cottage in a superb location. It is extremely clean and cozy proving excellent facilities in perfect and secure surroundings. Wonderful hosts. Thank you.
This piece of heaven was so unexpected - beautifully decorated, French linen, everything you need for a luxury country stay. It’s 20 mins from the airport, but feels like a world away. Highly recommended.
The Boathouse is special. We loved everything about our stay there. It is warm and welcoming in a “quirky” way. Shelley and Neil are excellent hosts and made us feel most welcome. The location is stunning and the outdoor bath was the icing on the cake. If we’re ever back in New Zealand, we would love to return.
The boathouse visit was one of the most beautiful stays we could have hoped for. Gorgeous rustic french style vibes. The location is idyllic and surrounded by stunning vistas and countryside. Arrowtown and other visits moments away. Shelley and Neil were wonderful hosts. We will definitely be back! Thanks for a wonderful stay. Ruth
