A Great PLace to Stay

Orchard Cottage was a wonderful place to stay as we ended our month long exploration of New Zealand. Jane is MORE than a gracious hostess, and took care of our every need. Close to Queenstown, yet isolated from the tourist crowds, it's hard to imagine a better accommodation. Just five minutes from "downtown" Arrowtown, with delightful restaurants and shops, and a fascinating museum. And close by the Gibston Valley wineries. Just about PERFECT. If we could rate it 6 stars we would!!!

A little piece of heaven on earth

Wonderful stay in every way. Comfortable, relaxing, amazing hosts and nice location. Close to everything, but away from it all at the same time. Arrowtown is a lovely community. Liked it as much or more than Queenstown!

Our boys wanted to leave a 5 (or more if they could) star review within 10 minutes of arriving at the cottage. Every detail was perfect and so many lovely unexpected touches that made us feel perfectly at home and well looked after (and so warm in mid winter!). We were left wanting nothing and really feel that we got much more than we paid for. We would welcome the chance to stay there again and hope to do so the next time we are in the area.

Orchard Cottage is very charming, well equipped and perfect for one or two couples or a small family . It is separated from the main house and beautifully situated and landscaped. Located outside historic Arrowtown it is very quiet yet close to all the amenities the Queenstown region offers.

We found the cottage extremely delightful and beautiful! The lovely cottage was well equipped and comfortable. What stole our hearts was the pretty gardens, beautifully adorned with many flowers and so well maintained. We spent many memorable hours dining outdoors! There is a small orchard within the premise. The cottage has commanding views of the surrounding area and Coronet Peak is visible. Orchard Cottage made our holidays most memorable! Thank you!

This cottage was every thing we had hoped for.

This cottage was every thing we had hoped for. A nice quite place to spend our first nights ever in New Zealand. The cottage is about 15 km, out of the main area of Queenstown, but is very near Arrowtown which we actually enjoyed more. We are a +50 year old couple the young vibes of Queenstown became a little much. Great views from cottage. Good walking paths are nearby. The bird songs in the mornings and evenings were delightful.

Orchard Cottage is an amazing place to stay; warm, cosy and extremely well equipped...the kitchen has more utensils and appliances than our own home!! Tastefully decorated and situated in beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Only a minute or two drive to Arrowtown and easy biking access to some of the area's fantastic cycle trails.

About the host

Hosted by JaneEB

We are a middle-aged couple who have travelled extensively and like to share our little piece of paradise with guests. We live on the property but the cottage is 40m away from the main house and behind a hedge for total privacy. Come and enjoy a relaxing break with kiwis who care about other kiwis in these uncertain times.
PLEASE NOTE: If Covid Alert Level restrictions prevent you from travelling, we will refund your stay in full. We cannot however guarantee the Airbnb fees will be refunded as this is out of our control.

Why they chose this property

Our mountain and rural views are exceptional and yet we are only minutes away from all Arrowtown and Queenstown have to offer. We are happy to share our local knowledge but will leave you to enjoy the peace and tranquility our rural environment offers if you prefer. You are welcome to pick fruit from our little orchard in season.

What makes this property unique

Many cycle, walking trails, skiing, golf and adventure tourism activities all very accessible. Lake Hayes for swimming and walking is a short walk away and Arrowtown with its many restaurants, cafes, wineries only minutes away by car.
Less than 10 minutes to Coronet Peak skifield which can be seen from the property as can The Remarkables.
