Great location. Lee and Jaap are excellent, friendly hosts. A short stroll to Lake Hayes where there is a track you can walk round the lake. A short drive to Ayrburn and Arrowtown. We would definitely stay here again.

Over our ten week trip in New Zealand, this beautiful cottage ticked all our boxes in a way that no other has. From the warm genuine first meeting to the beautiful serene garden setting, it was fabulous. The cottage itself is generous in size, has great ambience and includes many small thoughtful touches.

Great location right next to Lake Hayes. Complimentary mountain bikes were very much appreciated.

Everything was perfect

Very private, gorgeous accommodation. Having push bikes was perfect. An art filled area, very close to Ayrburn restaurants. We feel privileged to have met Lee, a very talented Artist, and down to earth lovely person.

No complaints at all.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Avoid the hustle and bustle of Queenstown and stay 7 minutes ours Arrowtown. The hosts are amazing and the bungalow is everything you could ask for.

Great location. Close to Arrowtown and Ayrburn. Spacious and comfortable. Our host was very accommodating, friendly and helpful. Lovely view of the lake and a nice walk to the lake. Fresh eggs from host were delicious and our host’s art was beautiful. Our best stay in New Zealand.

Nothing. It was perfect.

Absolutely everything. From the decor and location to the little extra touches like blooming fresh flowers, milk and cookies and access to Netflix. It’s right near a beautiful lake and the hosts were friendly and helpful. Would 110% recommend to anyone.

Nothing - We loved it

Staying at Tussock Cottage was an absolute pleasure. Lee & Jaap were excellent hosts. Lee was there to welcome us and provided excellent recommendations on things to see and do, she even provided us with delicious cookies and fresh eggs too. Lake Hayes and its surrounding walking trails are conveniently located nearby. The cottage itself is exceptionally well-appointed, clean and lacking nothing in terms of amenities. It is quiet, with an extremely comfortable bed. The interior has ample space and is tastefully decorated with bespoke art both inside and outside. The cottage benefits from being away from light pollution, which offers an astounding view of the night sky. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend it to others. We were sorry to leave and we will certainly be returning on our next visit to New Zealand.

A quirky cosy cottage close to Lake Hayes in a lovely quiet setting. It had a super comfy bed, lots of seating (inside & out) and was full of artwork by Lee the owner.

We loved this property. Quirky and comfortable, in a great location for exploring Arrowtown and Queenstown. The owners were very friendly and helpful with suggestions for sightseeing and activities.

A fabulous time spent at Tussock cottage. It exceeded all our expectations from the idyllic, peaceful setting with lake views, to the very comfortable bed, lovely outdoor area with sunbeds and sunshade, the wonderful artistic touches in the cottage that made it so cosy and inviting. Delicious homemade Anzac biscuits were a lovely gesture and very tasty. Lee was the perfect host and made sure that we had everything we needed. I can’t recommend this property highly enough. It’s just a shame we had to leave!

A superb stay in every way! My only regret is that we weren't able to stay longer. Tussock cottage is a restful haven filled with gorgeous artwork. Spacious, calming, comfortable and fully equipped. Lee was an incredibly helpful and friendly host. This was by far the best accommodation on our NZ trip. Highly recommend!

Jaap was so kind to us and stayed in good communication, available if we needed anything. So cozy, the decor made the resting moments even more delightful. The countryside tranquility and beauty improved our wellbeing on arrival. The Lake Hayes is such a natural beauty. We loved the bike rides. Only a few days away was so refreshing in this spot.

Despite advertising the price and specifying a portion ($69) as GST on Booking dot com, and despite several requests the owner refused to supply a gst receipt. In the end he simply ignored my requests. If they are not registered for gst, then they should not specify it and should not be charging gst.

Owner left a basket of eggs and biscuits for us. It was really homely and warm after a hard days work. Bed was superbly comfortable.

Nothing at all!

Very large bedroom with the best bed ever. We have travelled almost 6 weeks in NZ and this B&B has been the best. Greet bathroom, large sitting room, with T, Netflix, "Hey Google", kitchen facilities, large fridge etc. Beautifully decorated with art. Perfectly situated for Arrowtown and Queenstown.
