Arrowtown Gem - Classic Arrowtown Cottage.

Just renovated with brand new kitchen etc. new bedroom images up soon! 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 a wardrobe. 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.
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

The lovely cottage is private, peaceful, with every amenity anyone would want. It is five minutes walk to a small supermarket, the bus stop for the Queenstown bus and the riverside walk to Arrowtown centre. We loved our two night stay, enjoyed relaxing on the sunny deck and highly recommend Arrowtown Gem.
