About this property

Poplar Lodge - large comfortable home, 7 bedrooms. Enjoy the space!

Poplar Lodge is a fantastic space for family groups as well as sporting groups and friends. Located in the heart of historic Arrowtown, the lodge is just a minutes walk from the centre of town. Garden with BBQ, central heating to keep you warm in winter, off street parking for up to 5 cars. Hike or bike from the front door, into the hills or along the Queenstown Trail (over 100kms of trails - choose a different route each day!)

The lodge is ideal for family groups, reunions, weddings and sporting groups (especially cyclists as we are located right by the Queenstown Trail - bike hire available with Arrowtown Bike Hire which is located just outside the back gate). Also great for 2 or 3 families to save money by renting one property.

Kitchen with a range of appliances is set up to cater for groups of all sizes. Full size fridge plus full size fridge freezer, 2 microwaves, 2 sinks, dishwasher and oven. Plenty of plate, cutlery, pots etc to suit larger groups.

Keep warm in winter with central heating - come home to a warm cosy house at the end of a day of activities. Winter weight duvets, blankets and electric blankets.

Back garden is fenced. BBQ and outdoor furniture.

Enjoy eating out in one of the towns many cafes and restaurants, or relax with a glass of wine at one of the regions vineyards which are just few minutes drive away. Picturesque Lake Hayes is a 5 minute drive away - you can walk round it, bike round it, swim in it or just picnic beside it.

Arrowtown is centrally located to the four skifields in the Queenstown area.
Coronet Peak - 20 minute drive
Remarkables - 30 minute drive
Cardrona - 40 minute drive
Treble Cone - 1 hours drive
Spend a day up the mountain and return to a warm, cosy and centrally heated Poplar Lodge with unlimited hot water!

Arrowtown is the hub for the Queenstown Trail with many of the cycling trails starting and finishing in the town. The trail offers over 100kms of tracks with rides for all abilities and ages. There are plenty of walking tracks around the town, again catering for all abilities and ages.

The area is fantastic for a family holiday with activities for children of all ages - we are happy to make suggestions. Day trips to Queenstown, Wanaka or Glenorchy are recommended.

Arrowtown getaway
This property was an absolute delight - even better than we could have hoped for. A group of us and families came to Arrowtown for the Autumn festival. Everything was perfect for our needs. Others in our bigger group were very jealous of our facilities and location. Thank you for a very comfortable stay.

Absolutely perfect for your needs
Warm, welcoming house perfect for our teams needs. Every need has been be thought of by Jackie - love a house with some basics in the pantry for when you need a tablespoon of oil or vinegar. Jackie's communication was punctual and friendly. We will definitely be back if we need to trek down that way again. Thanks Jackie!

Amazing Place
Jackie is an amazing host! She met us and gave us all the information we needed. We loved the location...everything was walking distance and the bus to queenstown was just 2 mins away. The house was clean and warm. The kids enjoyed the many books and toys. So grateful to Jackie for giving us a late check out. Thank you so much! We enjoyed our stay in Arrowtown.

Cosy and Convenient
We had the most amazing ski weekend away. The house accommodated our big group very well, with noone fighting for those post-ski showers or toilets. The house was dry and cosy. The kitchen was large and had everything we needed, even a slow cooker and rice cooker. The location being right next to town is ideal for evenings. Shower pressure was incredible and the neighbourhood was quiet and friendly. Jackie was a great host and was quick to reply with any messages we sent her. Highly recommend staying at Poplar Lodge
