Wonderful hosts, beautiful location
This is a sweet cottage near Lake Hayes and Arrowtown. The view of the Remarkables from the back is stunning and despite being so close to Queenstown it’s remarkably quiet. We loved having a glass of wine in the beautiful garden while listening to the birds. Jane has thought of everything you might need during your stay. We had a lovely stay.

A lovely cottage in the country with amazing views!
A lovely cosy cottage with lots of homey touches - lovely and warm in very cold temperatures. Jane is a very attentive host with some delightful treats throughout our stay! You will need a vehicle as it is out of town a bit - which is actually part of the charm!

Orchard Cottage had everything we needed for a stress free getaway in a quiet corner of Arrowtown. Jane and Roger were welcoming and informative hosts, ensuring our every comfort was catered to. We loved all the personal touches in the cottage making us feel completely at home. Jane's baking was delish!!! Thank you for sharing your magical corner of the world where the Tuis entertain. We hope to return soon.

A perfect package
Peace, tranquility, in a beautiful garden. Our one bedroom unit was perfect for our three night stay. Decor and comfort were outstanding and we were provided with some very special unexpected treats and the most delicious home made muffins. Jane is so welcoming and friendly. To top it all off the location is great for exploring the region. We loved our stay.
