Short Description

Great house in quiet suburb just minutes shops

Description

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.



Interaction

Someone from The Butler will meet guests on arrival - so please provide travel details. Then we will be just a phone call away. Subject to COVID19 regulations the meet & greet may not be possible but we will advise in advance of any changes.

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
Bedroom 1 = King bed with Ensuite
Bedroom 2 = Queen bed
Bedroom 3 = Queen bed
Bedroom 4 = 1 Single bed with the addition of a trundle to make it 2 singles if required

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.

The letters "Amazing" don't quite do justice to the homely, welcoming and warm feeling that apple tree cottage gave us from the moment we entered . bedrooms and common areas are spacious, kitchen is well stocked with all equipment, pots and pans, accomodation is well maintained and squeaky clean, hosts are super responsive , accommodating and gracious. nestled in a scenic location, this cottage makes you feel close to the best that nature has to offer . a fabulous home away from home which I would surely look at booking if the opportunity presented itself for a family holiday yet again in Queenstown! six stars if I could give it !

Soderberg Family
So close to everything
"Our family of four just spent a week at Apple Tree Cottage and couldn’t fault any aspect of our stay. The location is ideal being close to Queenstown and Arrowtown without the issues of parking and traffic we have previously had staying right in Queenstown. The most spectacular mountain scenery from the living room (which would be super cosy in winter with the fireplace going) as well as the bedrooms and the outdoor areas. My kids loved the local playground and free tennis/basketball court just 5 mins walk as well as the indoor local recreation centre with waterslides and indoor heated pool which is a 5-10 minute drive. We loved being able to walk 10 mins down to the Shotover River and walk, hike or bike along the river in either direction for miles. We explored Wanaka, Glenorchy, Arrowtown, Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu, Moke Lake and more each day and loved coming home to this beautifully appointed cottage to relax. Everything was so fresh, clean and lovely and with an eco focus. Super comfy beds and quality linen, lovely throw rugs on the sofas, quality knives, pots and glassware."
