We had the apartment, which was wonderful and a good value. Bedrooms a little hot at night. Terrible parking because of the time of year. Wonderful little patio.
The staff were all very helpful. They went out of their way to help.
The food was awesome. I would definitely stay there again. I would also highly recommend to anyone. The bus into Queenstown was a 1 minute walk. Very convenient
Town was really cool to walk through, good coffee/breakfast options, good lunch options, good dinner options. Good shops to check out and explore. Everyone was nice and will definitely go back for another visit.
I liked how it was close to everything in town, just walk out onto the street. It is very convenient with a resturant and everything I needed. There is also a postshop in walking distance. You don’t have to walk far for walking tracks.
Great property, we arrived early but allowed access to room so we could leave our bags. Great to have use of a magnifying mirror in bathroom.
Awesome time
Thank you

Great location and affordable in the heart of Arrowtown. While the room we had was dated, it was clean and tidy.
The only downside was the lack of air-conditioning to cool the room down on a hot night. The desknfan provided was noisy and inadequate for how hot it was.
Historical shouldn't mean old and fithy. The staff were helpful and the restaurant good but the accommodations were terrible. The carpet looked 30 years old with huge stains and the bed was low and lumpy with no headboard. All the rooms overlooked the commercial trash and grease bins.

Ok for one night stay
The hotel is located behind a bar/restaurant, and to check-in, you have to have someone behind the bar do the check-in. To get to the hotel rooms, you go through the hallway to the bathrooms and exit to the back of the building where our room was located. Although the room was clean, carpet was worn and felt unclean. No microwave, just a hot pot (not clean) to heat water. Small frig, some mugs, no utensils but there were standard hotel amenities like tea, coffee, sugar and milk. Window panes did not close tightly which allowed bugs to fly in. Best part was the location due to Arrowtown being only a twenty minute drive to Queenstown. Quirky little town with small shops to explore.

Our stay was very good. The room was quiet and the bed comfortable
Good location and price point. Good size room and staff were friendly. Only aspect is it is very noisy, even when the bar is closed you can hear everyone walking around outside and showers etc from other rooms.
You’re right in the middle of the central part of Arrowtown, everything is on your doorstep. The hotel had a great open fire, in the bar area, old world charm
