Nice spot. A little tougher walk to downtown if you don't want to navigate the trail through the park. If you don't mind a hill and gravel trail, then quite convenient. The directions are a little confusing for which unit. There are multiple upstairs and downstairs in the building and the numbering is not super clear. A cozy living room and kitchen storage. Decent espresso machine. The fridge had a strange residue on the door around the handle that I got cleaned off fairly easily. Lots of useful supplies in the pantry. Easy to use stove. A bit of a finicky kitchen tap, as I recall. The bedrooms are nice. Beds are a bit hard. The bunk bed has a beam right above it. Beware if you have tall children. It's probably fine for shorter and quite young kids.Parking was a bit strange having to park across the street.

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.

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.

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)

About the host

Hosted by Rachel

Host profile image

We're a couple (Rachel & Francois) with 2 boys, Txema and Eneko. Rachel is originally from the UK and Francois from France, after traveling extensively we returned to New Zealand to settle in 2009. We are very active, love playing in the ocean and mountains, as well as great food and discovering local culture wherever we are.

Why they chose this property

We have set the Loft up as our home from home and are sharing all of those special touches with you now. We spend time here ourselves and feel instantly comfy as soon as we arrive. From the decor to the beds - it's just how we like it and we're sure you will too.

What makes this property unique

Because this is a place we use, we regularly add to it keeping it fresh and full of useful stuff (like the toasty machine and the Nutribullet). We also don't like to 'slum it' so you'll be sure to find our place clean, comfortable and not falling apart or dated!
