    Comfy beds. Toasty warm in the frosty weather . Loved the character and old world charm.

    10AllmanPosted on: 12-23-2025

    This was the best place, so much cuteness. The beds were comfortable, the ambience was wonderful. Great little front table and chairs and the landscaping was beautiful. We had everything we needed and it was conveniently located to walk to town. Perfect! Jayne was so very helpful.

    Literally only that there were no drink sachets for kids!haha. Hot chocolate maybe☺️

    Location is very close to the main street of Arrow town. The room size was good. The host was so friendly. Such a peaceful and charming stay. Everything was well thought out and comfortable.

    10PhilipPosted on: 4-15-2025

    Perfect location and very comfortable and restful accommodation. Very friendly hosts.

    10FionaPosted on: 4-14-2025

    From the minute I arrived, Jayne couldn't have been more welcoming. Her enthusiasm and energy is a breath of fresh air. The room's decor lives up to the "olde worlde charm" that is advertised, but so often that is a euphemism for "old and tired" - not in this case! Everything was spick and span, beautifully presented and so very welcoming. The bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept in, and despite arriving after a 36 hour trip from Barcelona, I didn't have a jot of jet lag after the deepest sleep of my adult life.The property itself is located just a short stroll from the centre of Arrowtown (although it should be noted there is a short hill - perfectly manageable for any able-bodied people, but worth mentioning for people who may not be as mobile). So a perfect location for discovering the town, and for hiking into the hills. Highly recommended property, and I will be back on my next trip to Arrowtown. Thanks Jayne!
