"Wow! An amazing experience at a beautiful property, with outstanding service. We stayed for 2 nights at the end of our travels in NZ, and this was truly the highlight of our trip. The setting is stunning, the food is outstanding, and the room is beautiful. But the staff are what make the place really special. Over the years, we have stayed in excellent hotels around the world, and this one ranks among the best. Exclusive, exquisite, and refined. Highly recommended."

"The cottage was roomy and gorgeous. Bed was divine. Kitchenette has basic tools for make a simple meal, although the cafe/bar also offers delicious salads, pizza, and platters. The tasting included in your booking is really wonderful. We enjoyed walking around the vineyards and grounds after everyone left in the evening and seeing the sunset on the hills. We were biking, so it was a convenient starting place to the day."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Lower Shotover?
The best area to stay in Lower Shotover is generally along the main arteries that connect to Queenstown, particularly near the Shotover River and the primary access roads.

This area is well-suited for families. You'll find a mix of accommodations that offer more space and amenities than options closer to the more bustling Queenstown center. The proximity to the Shotover River provides opportunities for outdoor activities like river rafting or jet boating, which can be exciting for children and adults. The convenience of being just a short drive from Queenstown's attractions, while still having a bit more space, makes it a practical choice for families.

Couples looking for a blend of tranquility and easy access to adventure will also find this area appealing. Many properties here offer scenic views of the surrounding mountains and river, providing a peaceful retreat.
When is the best time to go to Lower Shotover?
For most travelers, the best time to visit Lower Shotover is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warmest and most activities are readily available.

During this period, you'll experience long daylight hours, with average temperatures ranging from 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C). This is ideal for outdoor pursuits such as jet boating on the Shotover River, exploring the Queenstown Trail by bike, or visiting local vineyards. Families will appreciate the pleasant conditions for sightseeing and recreational activities without the chill of cooler seasons.

The shoulder seasons, particularly autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November), also offer a compelling experience for couples or those seeking a more tranquil visit. Autumn brings stunning fall foliage, especially around the Arrow River, while spring sees new growth and fewer crowds.
