We recently stayed at The Cottages at Lake Hayes for our honeymoon, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the peace, the views, and the warm hospitality. We stayed in the Luna Cottage, and it was absolutely perfect—cozy, beautifully designed, and filled with thoughtful touches. The fireplace was a dream, especially with the limitless supply of pre-cut timber that made evenings by the fire effortless and relaxing. The real highlight was the private hot tub, perched with panoramic views of the snow-capped mountains, it was one of the most breathtaking and romantic settings we’ve ever experienced. Whether it was soaking under the stars or watching the morning mist roll through the valley, it was unforgettable. There’s also a stunning walking trail that starts right from the property, winding through the hills and offering even more incredible views. We loved how close the cottage was to great restaurants and only a short drive into Queenstown, yet it felt like a peaceful retreat away from it all. A special mention must go to Rob, the manager, who was incredibly accommodating. He kindly let us check in early and even helped us out with extending our stay last-minute when we had a mix-up with our checkout date. His generosity and flexibility truly made us feel at home. This place is an absolute hidden gem—private, tranquil, luxurious, and full of charm. We will definitely be back and recommend it to anyone visiting the Queenstown area. It was the perfect escape.

Absolutely amazing accommodation and service - Highly recommend! We stayed in Luna Cottage for my wedding and had a wonderful time. The setting is Devine with spa and outlook to Lake Hayes. A lovely and clean accommodation with all essentials and homely touches. Unfortunately there was unforeseen power outage on day of my wedding. The managers Janie and Rob were absolutely amazing with communication and coordination going above and beyond and inviting us into their home to get ready. What could have been a bit of a disastrous start to my wedding day was made even more magical with their hospitality, fun, relaxed, beautiful and generous nature. This is a true testament that Jeanie and Rob will ensure even if something doesn’t go to plan, they will do everything to make your stay special. Thank you and we hope to see you again for one of our wedding anniversaries!

We had a lovely stay at the Hayes Cottage. The cottage was warm, cosy and clean with everything we needed, even things we didn’t know we needed like heated floors! We loved the outlook and the outdoor spa and the location, and it was perfect for our travel group of two couples. Looking forward to the day when we can stay there again!
