The modern bathroom includes a rain shower and heated floors. Air-conditioning keeps the space comfortable. The living and dining area opens to mountain and garden views.

The fully equipped kitchen comes with a stovetop, oven, and all necessary cookware. Guests will find sundries, spices, and basic cooking ingredients provided. A dining table sits nearby. For meals out, restaurants in Queenstown (10-minute drive) and Arrowtown offer a range of options. Guests can also pick up supplies at Frankton shopping centre.

The host offers bicycle rental for exploring the bike path that runs close to the property. The garden has outdoor furniture and manicured grounds with mountain views. Skiing is available in the area, and ski storage is provided. The cottage is a quiet base for walks, winery visits, or trips to Lake Hayes.
Close to Queenstown
Hicks Cottage is 6 km from Queenstown Airport, a 10-minute drive to the town centre. It is near Frankton shopping centre, Arrowtown, and several wineries. The property sits on a quiet valley road, away from the busy crowds, yet bike paths and mountain views are right outside.
Free WiFi & Parking
Free WiFi and free on-site parking are provided. The host offers easy check-in with flexible times, quick communication, and a welcome bottle of bubbles for special celebrations. Other services include ski storage, a ski school referral, and bike rental. The cottage is non-smoking and has a fire extinguisher for safety.
“Historical Hicks Cottage masterfully blends its heritage with modern comforts, creating a remarkably peaceful retreat that feels both private and connected to its surroundings. The restoration is meticulous, evident in the well-appointed kitchen and bathroom, and the quiet location, though a short drive from Queenstown's bustle, is a significant draw. This is a place where history and comfort coalesce beautifully.”
