Rustic country retreat

The Boathouse is a special dream for a creative couple. It is gorgeous and so authentically French in style you could be in Bordeaux somewhere. The huge outdoor bath while you watch the stars is a special experience. Warm and friendly communication from the hosts. A short drive to Arrowtown. Highly recommended.

An amazingly pretty corner of Gibbston Valley!

A hidden gem! Quite a dainty cottage! The outdoor bath is heavenly! Well looked after section is fenced so our dog could run free on the property and explore. 🐶There also is a vege patch and many fruit trees there. I enjoyed few sweet pea snaps 😋 and fresh cous lettuce. There’s an outdoor dining area where we enjoyed our meals. We surely will go back.

Why they chose this property

If you want an escape away from your hectic life, The Boathouse is the place to visit.
We are a short drive to anywhere you might like to explore but you don't need to leave the valley as there is great food and wine right here and you don't even need to get into your car as most of them are within walking distance.
We are also happy for you to bring your dog if it is well behaved, but please message first!

What makes this property unique

Situated in the Valley of Wines, where e-bike hire is available and you can enjoy cycling the Gibbston River Trail which winds along the majestic Kawarau River. It is a scenic ride to Arrowtown. You can stop at some of the best wineries in the region for wine tasting or lunch. There is also shuttle transport and cycle tours if you wish.
