    Really pretty location with everything you'd need in a cottage! And if you don't, then Becs is very accommodating and will ensure you have it. We enjoyed our three days at this cottage and recommend it to anyone looking to stay out in nature....

    The location was outstanding. It has the advantage of being far enough from town to be quiet at night yet close enough to both Arrowtown and Queenstown to be very convenient. Becs was prompt in responding to messages both before and during our...

    Excellent communication and instructions for locating the property that is set in a premium location, close to Lake Hayes walking and biking tracks. Short driving distance to the wonderful Ayrburn and 10 min drive to Millbrook and Arrowtown....

Mill Creek Cottage is a private retreat located on the same property as our family home, sharing a driveway but offering its own private car park, deck, and lawn. The cottage has two bedrooms: one with a queen bed and another with a single bed, a king single, and an optional trundler bed. Please be aware that the cottage doesn’t have air conditioning and can get very warm in the late afternoon, a ceiling fan and tower fan are provided for your comfort. The open-plan living space includes a fully-equipped kitchen with views of The Remarkables and Coronet peak, a dining area, a cozy lounge, and a laundry cupboard with a washing machine. The loft, accessed via a ladder, serves as a cozy spot for relaxation, with yoga mats and a book exchange. The ladder requires careful supervision for children. A portacot is available upon request. For entertainment, the cottage offers a TV with Netflix, Disney Channel, and YouTube. We also have games and toys available for children. Our friendly Golden Retriever may visit and is known for being affectionate and a little needy. Our cat may also wander in to say hello, so the cottage is best suited for animal lovers. Mill Creek Cottage is perfectly situated just 500m from the Queenstown Cycle Trail, connecting you to Lake Hayes and Arrowtown via Millbrook Resort. It’s a 5-minute drive to Arrowtown, 15 minutes to Frankton, and 25 minutes to central Queenstown. Since the closest bus stop is 2km away, having your own transport is recommended.
