Arrowtown Gem - Classic Arrowtown Cottage.

This classic Arrowtown cottage has enjoyed many years of hosting happy, satisfied guests - please read our reviews. Arrowtown Gem is super sunny, simply yet stylishly furnished and is located an easy 10 minute stroll into the main town area of Arrowtown.

Voted New Zealand’s most beautiful small town 2020 (Keep NZ Beautiful) Arrowtown offers a huge array of cafes, bakeries, restaurants, bars, family friendly pubs, fashion stores, galleries, collectables with even a boutique cinema to enjoy. With an abundance of beautiful wineries located within 10 to 20 minutes drive there’s plenty of choice for wine lovers too.

For the more active minded it is located a few minutes ride to the start of the Queenstown Bike Trail and a variety of walks that start from the Arrow River, for both the leisurely stroller and serious hiker.

If you are a skier Coronet Peak skifield is 20 minutes drive away and Cardrona or the Snow Park are approximately 30 minutes drive and for golfers there are 2 beautiful courses located within 5 minutes drive. Lake Hayes is located 10 minutes drive away - perfect for swimming, sailing, paddle boarding and fishing.

The cottage has small but well layed out open plan living with French doors onto a large deck and a cosy booth style dining room. It is fully insulated and has both gas/electric heating and a wood burner (wood provided). Please note that I have ticked the 'heatpump - aircon' section for reason we have a great push button convection heating source but this system does not also cool.

The cottage is fully fenced, enjoys all day sun and is quiet and private, off the main road, with lovely views out over the Arrowtown hills from the large deck and outdoor dining/BBQ area. Rustic outdoor sheds provide the perfect place to store your skis and bikes.

The first bedroom is large with a raised timber ceiling, french doors opening onto the deck, is set up with 2 single beds and has 2 wardrobes. The beds can easily be pushed together and for stays of 7 days or longer we can do a full conversion to a superking bed on request. The second bedroom is smaller and has 1 queen bed and a small storage cupboard.

The house is extremely cosy, accented with a hint of retro design and will offer two couples, three singles or a family of four, a wonderful break in the sought after location of Arrowtown.

Dogs with considerate owners are most welcome with prior approval.

Great place, excellence location
A fantastic wee gem in Arrowtown. The place was as described in the listing. Compact but very comfortable for a family of 4. Being safe and fully fenced for our Labrador was a huge relief. Well equipped with a lovely fire for the cooler nights. We loved our stay - would definitely recommend and we'll return for sure. Thank you.

Perfect place in Arrowtown
The house was perfect for our needs, great location for walking into Arrowtown, bus stop nearby if you wanted to go into Queenstown. The accommodation was really comfy & homely with outdoor space. I enjoyed sitting outside & observing the light changes on the hillside. Very relaxing. Great communication with owner too.

Cute cottage in great location
We stayed as a family and found the wee cottage to be cute with a nice vibe. It's a short walk into the centre of Arrowtown for coffee and close to Coronet Peak for skiing. The terrace was a sunny spot to hang out and read. An enjoyable stay, thanks.

Very cozy with all the necessities
Arrowtown is very charismatic and a spot for a nature walk. The hills, the old town vibe is a great spot to get in the holiday mode. Perfect spot to get to the ski fields. The accommodation is real homey and has had all the amenities to feel like home. Plenty of basic cooking tools to feed the crew and the lounge room has warm heating to kick back and relax. Beds are comfy and the shower is👌. Also has a washing machine which was helpful.mid week. Thanks for contributing towards a great trip.
