About this property

Luxury spacious cottage in prime location

Completely rebuilt cottage designed to reflect the heritage values of Arrowtown in its exterior appearance, while ensuring modern day space and comfort inside. It is in the heart of the historic quarter - an easy 3 minute walk to the main street and its shops, cafes and restaurants or to the lovely walkways by the Arrow river.
The house has been finished to a very high specification with oak woodwork throughout, granite and oak professional kitchen with high quality appliances (Bosch, Siemens, Rangemaster range oven and induction hob) and luxurious bathroom and ensuite.

There are 8 sets of French doors throughout the property and these, coupled with the enormous roof windows in the living area, give the house a real feeling of light and space.

In the Winter, the cottage which is double/triple glazed is exceptionally warm and cosy with a wood burning fire (wood supplied) in the sitting room, along with a heat pump and Noirot wall heaters in every bedroom plus underfloor heating in the bathrooms.

In the Summer, the garden is a sun trap and has plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the roses, lavender and herbs and an outside eating area with both stone and Weber gas barbecue.
An HRV system keeps the house well ventilated and at an optimum temperature.
Nespresso coffee machine. Unlimited broadband.
Arrowtown offers a central base for the year round traveller to explore all that the beautiful Central Otago region has to offer. Arrowtown is just 15 minutes drive from Queenstown and 50 minutes from Wanaka. Idyllic Lake Hayes - perfect for swimming and boating is just 10 minutes away.

Arrowtown itself is quiet and quaint with rich gold mining history. The beautiful Arrow River flows through the town, also a great swimming spot in summer. There are also many boutique shops, cafes and restaurants and a delightful cinema.

Golf, Wineries, walking and cycling tracks (part of the Wakatipu Cycle Trail) complete the picture for the summer with the three ski fields (Coronet Peak, Remarkables and Cardrona) at your door step for the winter.

Thanks for your review. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay but I’m a bit perplexed by your “access issues” comment. I was not notified of any problem and no one has ever reported having problems with the lockbox. If you could please clarify I would be very grateful.

I stayed with my husband, infant, and parents. The property was very well set up and felt like home away from home during our time in Arrowtown. The location allows easy walking (even our toddler could walk do it!) to restaurants, shops, and an extensive trail network, but is still private, quiet and peaceful.the host was very helpful in sssisting with our stay. Would stay again!

Picture Perfect Cottage in the heart of Arrowtown

This property was perfect. Well maintained and very spacious. We had a fantastic stay. Only a short stroll to the main street and restaurants, and an easy drive to anywhere in Queenstown. Liz's communication and attention to detail were superb. We'd highly recommend.

Welcoming luxurious cottage close to township with very helpful owner

We had a lovely stay for the week of the NZ Golf Open. Like being at home. All the facilities we required were here. The first day was raining and cold and we lit the fire. Then the other days got warmer and warmer and we used the fan or air conditioner or opened all of the doors, so we were always comfortable. Well insulated cottage with a very welcoming feel. Very quiet. Would stay again.

Location is wonderful, toxic cleaning odor in house that did not diffuse away with windows open

Arrowtown is a unique and wonderful town. The cottage is in walking distance to everything...shops, restaurants, market and the river. Upon arriving in the cottage there was an overwhelming odor of a cleaning solvent emanating mostly from the laundry room. It smelled like mothballs to the extreme. I opened windows and doors to air out the house. By the third day of my visit, I woke up to a full blown asthma attack. The dishwasher in the kitchen needs to be anchored to the cabinetry. The entire dishwasher falls forward when door is opened.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Apr 2024
Well, I’m quite taken aback to receive this feedback, especially given I feel I did my utmost to help this guest with all her queries and demands, including making several concessions for her which were never acknowledged. She did tell me she was unwell during her stay and tested herself for Covid 3 times so I wonder if this interfered with her sense of smell as no one has ever complained of cleaning product odour in the 10 years I have been letting the property. I accept the dishwasher tips forward slightly when it is being emptied but it really is not a big issue. We will however make sure that it is more securely tethered for future guests. I am pleased that her criticisms weren’t enough to stop her from requesting another night on the last day of her stay. I replied to her request with a discounted price but she did not respond to me that day and I had to make a toll call via the States to find out that she had booked elsewhere in Queenstown. She was also disappointed that the late check out I offered her was 11 am and not the 1pm she had misread on my message. That said, she did leave the house very neat and tidy which I appreciated. I have a lot of repeat business and everyone that stays here seems to love the cottage and its garden so I hope future guests go by the previous excellent feedback I have received rather than this review.

Jacks Place - Arrowtown

A lovely spot in a great location, high quality, clean accommodation generously stocked with supplies. A couple of minor recommendations; a dishcloth; facecloths - I can appreciated the concern with makeup but what about a dark face cloth?; a few more clothes hangers. We would recommend this to others wishing to stay in Arrowtown. Thank you Liz.
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Dec 2020
Many thanks for this lovely review and constructive feedback. Not sure what happened about the dishcloths as we usually have a plentiful supply but will definitely take on board your suggestions. Thanks also for leaving the house immaculate when you left, much appreciated! Have a lovely Christmas and hope to welcome you back to Arrowtown one day.

Jack's cottage is a very comfortable, homey cottage with everything that is needed for a holiday home, including well equipped kitchen, great living space and lots of chopped wood for the fire - it was cold outside! It is very close to Arrowtown, which is another plus as both we and the kids love not always having to get in the car to go out. We hope to go back.
