Accommodation

The Cottages at Lake Hayes

Self-contained cottage accommodation on the edge of Lake Hayes - a quiet, rural setting close to the Waiwhakaata Lake Hayes Trail, and onward connection to the wider Queenstown Trails network.

Each of the 5 cottages sleep up to 4 adults with 2 bedrooms with en-suites and private hot tub and garden, a fully-equipped kitchen, dining, bar, and lounge with wood-burner, laundry and drying rooms, private parking, plus secure storage for skis, golf clubs and bikes. The Cottages are perfect for a private getaway or an extended group get-together.

The peaceful, rural location of the Cottages at Lake Hayes mean that Arrowtown is about 50min away by bike, and Frankton is a 30min ride - a vehicle will make access to groceries, activites and amenities more accessible.
