Naylor House is located just south of the small rural township of Garston in New Zealand's heartland countryside. Naylor House is perfectly located to access the Queenstown winter playground.

To get there from the Frankton/Queenstown airport, take Highway 6 from Queenstown and it’s a leisurely 45 minute drive among some of the world’s most breathtaking scenery. The road travels south alongside the Remarkables and Lake Wakatipu.

Its also an hours drive if you are travelling north from the gateway to Fiordland National Park, Te Anau. Look out for the Naylor’s Road turn off, just before you get to Garston.

Garston prides itself on being New Zealand’s most inland town, and with a population of only 100, you’ll immediately feel part of the community.

Visit the local pub and meet some of the town’s characters – sheep, cattle and deer farmers all with a story to tell.

The town is just three quarters of an hour away from Queenstown’s summer and winter playgrounds and ski–fields and an hour in the opposite direction from the Fiordland National Park and iconic Milford Sound.

Four–wheel driving, farm touring, fishing, golfing and tramping are all available.
