Why Stay At Tussock Heights?
A Letter From Pete
We will welcome you to Tussock Heights, with lots of surprises! Come well prepared to have a fabulous and restful holiday.
I believe good holiday begins with a wonderfully comfy King bed, amazing views, caring hosts and all the facilities you need (but probably don’t expect). To make your holiday fun, we have creatively used our 2 acres to the fullest.
We're fortunate enough to be able to offer:
- A 4 hole short pitch-and-putt golf challenge
- A target, high powered air rifle shootout
- A leisurely e-bike ride around the lake, or If you’ re a more “full on” bike rider you may enjoy a 3-hour adventure bike ride and coffee on the way? ( small cost only for bike maintenance)
- A radio controlled model Yacht race. (small cost only for yacht maintenance.)
- Visit the recently established Ayrburn Precinct. It’s a 3 -minute drive or 15 minute bike ride down the road or trail. It is an almost indescribable “GEM”. Unique to NZ.
-Visit the exceptional Millbrook Golf course, home of the biggest and best golf tournament in the country, “The New Zealand Open”. Play it or dine it. 3 cafes great staff. AWESOME.
- Visit the Gold Mining historic Arrowtown with its tree lined river, village eateries, shops, and museum, as well welcoming you will be 1850s Gold mining relics and architecture.
Then there is plenty of winter fun to have too: Skiing or ice skating outdoors. The ski field at Coronet Peak sits just 45-minutes drive away. For night skiing, the peak is ablaze with light and from Tussock Heights it looks like a city atop of the mountain on Wed and Friday nights.
On peaceful, windless early mornings look out the window! You have a good chance to witness a huge colourful hot air balloon drifting by!
Queenstown is referred to, by some, as the “Adventure capital of the world.”
Jet boats, helicopters, rafts, gondolas, a steam boat, horses, skis or your own car can take you on an adventure you will never forget.
In 2019 Peter and Jilly Yarrell built a new home in a dream location. It sits just 25 minutes from Queenstown and 5 minutes from Arrowtown in a beautiful, tranquil farm location. Surrounded by Mountain peaks, and looking down over wetlands and farms, Peter and Jilly decided not to just build the dwelling for themselves. Their architect added the Coronet Apartment into his planning and then the additional Nest and Rest studio unit evolved as a further option for guests.
We invite you to share the breath-taking views and facilities with us whether you wish to stay for a couple of days or a week. After you arrive you will quickly realise It was one of the best decisions you have ever made.
If your life choice is the “Born to Live” life, exploring the mountains, lakes and rivers, thankful for the miracle of life itself, then during your stay, grab one of our e bikes, or a pair of snow skis, or a set of golf clubs, or some walking boots and join us on the adventure! If your choice is a book and absolute peace, quiet, and reflection, you will be spoilt for choice as well.
At Tussock Heights we always offer you the chance to discuss life choices over coffee and cake should you wish to do so.
Go to the book now page and we will do our best to work with your travel dates.
At Tussock Heights enjoy these fun activates when you stay with us.
