Fabulous tucked away property right in the city center where you can walk to anything at all needed. It offers private and easy parking. We loved that we could conveniently launder our clothes as well . It was a friendly and easy check in and out with a smile along with a small bottle of milk for our coffee. Thanks!

The owners are very friendly and cooperative when we needed something to change. Very clean but small rooms. Best location in Arrowtown, everything is walking distance - shops, restaurant, the river.

Great place to stay. Very quiet, staff were excellent. Replaced the milk for the next day as we had used most of it. Very handy to the shopping area. There was parking but it was tight on occasion. Would definitely stay again.

A little disappointed that we were charged for three people when we had informed that we were only two.
Other than that it was nice.
