From the front door of the cottage you can walk into town in less than a minute, walk to the river and enjoy hiking or biking in 2 minutes, and head out into the hills to walk for an hour, half a day or a full day.
Take advantage of the Queenstown Trail which runs just past the property. This trail offers over 100kms of biking trails - you can set out in a different direction each day!

Arrowtown is a town of 4 seasons. Enjoy spring with blossoming trees, lazy summer days by the river or Lake Hayes, or make the most of the long days and hike or bike to explore the area.

Just spot on for the three of us. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space and room to relax. It’s a smaller space, but you’re in Arrowtown so you’ll be out all day anyway. Well equipped kitchen, bathrooms have all you need.

It is very difficult to summerize this is a short way. It is all and more than advertised. Just literally 2 munutes walk to the main street. The owner Jackie, well there are not enough words to express her kindess and consideration. Would I go back, in a blink of an eye. Thankyouxx
