Country comfort
An amazingly comfortable and equipped accommodation. The hosts allowed for our late (about 9pm) arrival and had the heaters on for our arrival. A wonderful stay just a few minutes walk to the main street of Arrowtown.

Carl was an excellent host the property being a cottage was lovely. Needed a better vacuum and there was hair in the shower,
The only downfall we had one SHORT shower and then it was stone cold no hot water for the other 2 of us staying, (we were offered to use the shower in another cottage and said there is 140L in the tank we must have used it) 1 person would not have used 140L of water.
Laundry facilities closed to early especially when you need to dry and wash clothing in a non commercial machine / dryer (which you pay for)
Was a bit over priced unfortunately would not stay again.

Favourite accommodation!
Stayed total 9 nights over 2 stays and felt completely like a home from home. Very comfortable and cosy, easy walk into town or riverside walking & bike paths. Owners extremely helpful & friendly and personally manage the motel to a very high standard. Our favourite accommodation of our entire 6 week trip. Very highly recommended!

The place was quaint with a lot of character.
Even though the cottages were old, they had been updated and were quite spacious.
Location is in a nice quiet neighborhood with an easy walk to town.
