Loved the cottage! It was a great location for us between Queenstown and Wineries with airport, grocery store and everything needed close by. The accommodations were so comfortable and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. I would stay there again and gladly recommend it to friends. Great hosts with great communication.
Spent a wonderful 7 nights in this gorgeous cottage. Comfort was outstanding and very well appointed. We did not want for anything. We looked forward to coming home after a big day out and the area is so peaceful. Grocery shopping centre is only a few minutes drive away. Our host was lovely and approachable. Would definitely stay again on our return to Queenstown.
We just stayed at this property for 4 nights and canât stop talking about it. Spotlessly clean, comfortable, and a great location. Jan and Vicki were lovely hosts. We wanted to buy the cottage! As a former property manager, I highly recommend this property.
This is the perfect place to stay: great location, fabulous hosts, and the cottage is done to the highest standard. I spent a month here and didn't want to leave. There aren't enough superlatives to describe this property....everything about it is truly wonderful!
My friend and I were blown away by Jan's cottage! It was even better than the photos and was so perfectly cozy and well appointed. I loved that it's away from the bustle of Queenstown and just so lovely. Jan went above and beyond to welcome us, even driving us to the bus stop before our tour to Milford Sound so we didn't have to pay for parking. We loved getting local advice from him and movie recommendations! We will certainly be back!
Amazing built cottage, history piece on a lovely setting.
We like these cottages which gives the feeling a holiday worth every cents.many thanks Jan & Vicki.
This place was fantastic for visiting the Queenstown area. It was really nice that it was just outside of town which made it faster to get to most of the attractions around the area. We homebased here for a couple days while visiting the South Island and Jan and Vicky couldn't have been better hosts. Truly appreciate the hospitality!
The home is well equipped and super clean. 5 stars all around.
We had a great time in New Zealand This property is a great location nice & Quiet close to Airport and town. Recommended to all. Would absolutely stay here again next trip to NZ
Lovely property and NZ character cottage in very comfortable setting. So easy to arrive and be settled yet easy access to our chosen South Island adventuring. Hosts warm welcoming and accessible if needed.
We had the pleasure of a three night stay at Jan and Vicki's cottage. Having stayed in a large number of holiday rentals over a number of years, this is by far the best. The cottage is charming and furnished to a very high standard. It was also extrenely clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The residential location is so peaceful and an ideal base for exploring Queenstown and beyond. Jan and Vicki are fantastic hosts and were also kind enough to allow us flexibility with check-in and check-out times. This will be our first choice for any future visit to the Queenstown area.
I can't praise this place enough. Jan was super helpful, both in making the reservation and when we had an emergency during our stay. (The emergency was unrelated to the rental.)
The house itself is nicely laid out and nicely appointed, with well-thought-out dishes/utensils in the kitchen so it could be used for actual cooking. And the knives were sharp - a rarity in my experience with rentals!
The house was very clean and organized.
The location is just minutes from Frankton, with anything you could want in a retail area, and just a bit more to Queenstown itself. Or a pretty little drive to Arrowtown.
From the moment we walked into this amazing property we felt welcomed. Jon and Vicky are wonderful hosts and in this house we could simply have stayed for weeks and weeks. Very comfortable, private, beautifully appointed. I had a back injury happen and this family went the extra mile to find me very qualified, professional care. I would recommend this wonderful spot to anyone needing an oasis from their travels in and around beautiful Queenstown.
Hope we can return one day.

Beautiful! The apartment is separate from the owners home, on a quiet street. Loved the location between Queenstown and Arrowtown. Includes a living room, dining room, kitchen, large bedroom and kitchen, as well as outside seating. Kitchen was fully stocked with all appliances. Everything was clean and very well maintained. Owners were very helpful with everything we needed to know about Queenstown. Loved it!
We would definitely stay here again. The cottage is connected to the owner's property but so private. I met Jan one morning in the yard and he was very gracious. The home is maintained impeccably; there was nothing that didn't look new or didn't function. It was spotless and clean throughout with high grade furnishings and materials. We were so comfortable there. The location was about 15 minutes from Queenstown up a canyon on the Shotover river in a very nice neighborhood. It may not be right for those who want to socialize in town, but it was exactly what we were looking for. Quiet. Thank you very much for your hospitality and allowing us to stay with you for these three marvelous days.
We had a wonderful stay at Wellswood cottage. It is charming in a lovely private setting, very clean and with high quality fixtures and fittings. It is ideally located between Arrowtown, Queenstown and the Gibbston Valley with the Lower Shotover river close by. Jan and Vicki were very welcoming hosts, always helpful but not intrusive. They gave us lots of advice re walks and things to do in the region. We highly recommend . J and D Toronto
This cottage was a highlight of our stay! It is located in a very beautiful neighborhood and almost every yard had a beautiful garden. Including this property. They have a beautiful patio that everyone who stays there should enjoy after a long day of exploring.
The cottage itself is stunning and a designer's dream. I loved thebiverall desin so much, I will probably try to replicate it in my house. Especially the bathroom. Everything looks and feels high end, but comfortable and lived-in.
If you have a car, it's a no-brainer to stay on this property.
Words cannot describe how great the Wellswood Cottage was. It was very comfortable, very clean and nicely decorated. As soon as we walked in, we really did feel like home. It exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail was amazing. The welcome snacks, bread and fruit were a nice welcome. We would not hesitate to recommend the cottage.
Thank you for your hospitality.
From the moment I reached out to Jan prior to booking through the time of my stay, all of my expectations were exceeded. I took some time to read the multitude of reviews on this cottage and every detail noted from others that have stayed at Janâs place is 100% spot on. The location is fantastic , the set up within the cottage is exceptional and most importantly to me it is meticulously well kept. Jan himself was extremely responsive, very accessible, easy to work with and as a long time resident very knowledgeable of the surrounding areas. The bottom line is - not a single surprise. This will be the 1st place I look at staying the next time my travels take me to Queenstown. Joe
