Glencairn
The most amazing spot! Unbeatable views of mountains all around on a tranquil farm in Arrowtown. Truly a special place. So much better than paying a similar amount for something tiny in Queenstown. Our 2 kids (7 & 4) also loved having their own little ‘wing’ complete with giant soft toys, a TV, bathroom & wardrobe. Three small buildings are joined by a central semi-outdoor area, but you can mainly close this from the elements with two large doors. It made the stay feel like an adventure and we all loved it! The master ‘wing’ felt luxurious with beautiful views from the bed. Double-head shower was a nice touch. The kitchen/living space was stylish and really comfortable with everything you need. Looking out to a mountain range from the dining table was perfection. Weber BBQ outside was great. We loved the cats / dogs / cows - all so friendly. Close to Arrowtown and the 20 min drive to Queenstown was a breeze. Recommend the scenic drive to Wanaka too. Highly recommend this stay!

Newly renovated 2bdrm/2bthrm cottage in Arrowtown
What a georgeous, quiet, spacious property for my husband and I in the final days of our NZ holiday - a perfect way to finish our trip. Everything was spotlessly clean and the private courtyard was perfect for morning coffee (thanks to the Nespresso Coffee machine). The most comfortable bed of our trip - it was so lovely not to wake up with a sore lower back and hips each morning and the temperature was perfect for sleeping. We loved that the bathrooms had underfloor heating and sensor lighting under the vanities once it got dark outside. Communication with Sandy was easy and her instructions were easy to follow. Overall 10/10 and can highly recommend.

Mt Rosa Retreat
We had a wonderful stay! Our hosts were welcoming and responsive to any questions we had. We felt right at home. The property itself is beautiful, thoughtfully designed, clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare our own meals. It struck the perfect balance: private and peaceful, yet just a short drive or bike ride to some good restaurants. We especially appreciated the little touches that made the space so comfortable. The highlight for my family was Rusty — the hosts’ friendly dog who quickly became a daily companion and source of joy for my child. Watching them play together was such a delight and added an unexpected charm to our visit. This was easily one of our favourite BnB experiences and we would not hesitate to return. Highly recommended for families looking for a restful, well-located getaway with heart.

Your guide to Arrowtown
All About Arrowtown
Located 10 miles away from the adventure hub of Queenstown on New Zealand’s South Island, Arrowtown is a small 19th-century mining town whose low-slung wooden buildings look straight out of a Western movie. Arrowtown is located on the banks of the Arrow River, and soaring mountains form the backdrop for the historic main drag of Buckingham Street, now occupied by mom-and-pop restaurants and small shops.
Just outside town, you’ll also find a wide array of hiking trails, such as the New Chum Gully Track and Crown Peak Hike, allowing you to see some of the amazing scenery of the central Otago region. And less than 20 minutes away, you can ride the churning waters of the Shotover River through dramatic canyon landscapes. If you drive east on State Highway 6, passing sheep and deer paddocks along the way, you’ll come across Central Otago, one of New Zealand’s best wine regions, particularly known for its pinots.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Arrowtown
Thanks to an array of outdoor activities, there is no bad time to secure your vacation accommodation in Arrowtown. During the summer, you can enjoy long, warm days with excellent conditions for hiking. If you are traveling over the school holidays, keep in mind it can get quite busy in both Queenstown and Arrowtown during this time. In the fall, the crowds thin out as the leaves burst into a brilliant display of orange, red, and yellow. There is also a fun, five-day autumn festival held in October featuring 30 different events, including a parade, art exhibition, and gold panning competition. During the winter, you can strap on your skis and head out on some of the nearby slopes.
