Without question one of the best holiday houses to stay in Queenstown. We first stayed with Tussock Cottage in 2015 and is the only house we've stayed more than one occasion on all our holidays. The house is just about a stone throw's away from Lake Hayes. Spectacular scenery. We are so glad we came back. Everything is in top quality condition. Jaap & Lee are the best hosts ever. We would love to come back again. Thank you Jaap & Lee for being such wonderful hosts. :)
