Best place to stay in Arrowtown

We spent 2 nights in this very special accommodation. Spectacular views from every window, gorgeous furnishings and the most comfortable bed. Highly recommend and by far the best place we stayed in South island NZ. Easy walk to town and surrounding attractions. The hosts are lovely (as are the very beautiful Burmese cats)

Comfortable apartment

The apartment was great. Bed was comfortable, space was nice. Location was OK, although it’s not as close to restaurants and stores as we would have liked - it’s a longish walk with a steep park in the way. An easy drive, but parking can be difficult.

Kitchen had more than everything we needed to prepare all our meals. Master bed was very comfortable. Large doors opening on 2 adjoining walls to the balcony increased the size of the already generous dining/ living room. Host was quick to respond to questions and very accommodating to requests. Parking was a little confusing at first but cleared up with texts to the host. A photo of where to park may be helpful for some.
