Beautiful cottage
5.0
This property is delightful, Jane is a fabulous host who goes above & beyond to make you feel welcome. From the delicious home baked jam cakes on arrival to the well stocked pantry & treats. We loved the beautiful location, close enough to Queenstown to visit but able to enjoy the peace of Lake Hayes & surrounds. Jane supplies plenty of useful information about places to visit & activities in the area. A wonderful start to our NZ holiday. We were grateful for Janes hospitality, the best place we stayed in during our travels & hope to return again. Thankyou Cherie & Jacqui.

The position, the home, the gardens, the hosts make Orchard Cottage the perfect place to stay. We had 7 days of total enjoyment. Highly recommend.

My friend and I had the most wonderful 4 night stay at Orchard Cottage near Arrowtown, whilst in the middle of us touring New Zealand's South Island. The cottage was immaculate and every detail for our comfort was thoroughly thought through. Our hostess, Jane, is a lovely, interesting lady, who enquired each day if we were happy in the cottage. She also gave us great ideas as to what was available in Arrowtown village. The cottage is only 20 minutes drive from the tourist hub of Queenstown. Our stay could not have been better.

A very comfortable quiet stay out of both queenstown & arrowtown so a car is needed. Excellent if you want to self cater. We had a great time and we were all very partial to Jane’s muffins!

We stayed in a variety of rentals and motels over four weeks in NZ, and this was the best of all. Other reviewers have commented on the many positives of this property. I’ll just add that you’ll find many special extras, including tissues, flashlight, and water pitcher on each bedside table. The cottage grounds feel private even though the owners’ house is next door. Thanks!

We have probably stayed in around 12 Bookabachs in New Zealand. This place is a combination of the best of all the different places. Of course, there are larger bachs out there, but for what it is (two bedroom cottage with one bathroom), it is perfect.
It is very quiet, which is very important for us, set a reasonable distance from the main house and neighbours and roads.
The mountain views are amazing, visible just sitting on the living room sofa.
20-30 minutes from skiing at Coronet Peak / Remarkables and 40 minutes from the base of Cardrona. Arrowtown has some shops, only 5 minutes away.
The cottage is in near-perfect condition, with every imaginable convenience, including washing machine and dryer. Heating is very good. The "little touches" are everywhere - right down to providing (unopened) jams, muffins and hot water bottles (good for aching limbs after after skiing).
Everything is spotless, notably fridge and toilets.
I also liked the fact that everything in the cottage is for the guests - there is no confusion as to what is "out of bounds" or owner's property.
Extremely comfortable bed and quality bedding.
Jane is a great host, highly communicative and helpful.
Can't recommend this cottage more highly.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Orchard Cottage. Jane was such a welcoming host, even providing fresh home baking on arrival! The cottage had absolutely everything we could possibly need & was very warm during the cold weather. Thoroughly recommend.

Relaxing stay in cozy, well-equipped cottage
We had a lovely 4 night stay in this comfortable cottage. Rural location but easy access to Arrowtown and Queenstown. Hosts were very welcoming and we appreciated the extra touches for our comfort. Thanks to Jane and Roger. We would highly recommend this accommodation.

This is a lovely place for a peaceful holiday, but within easy reach of many walks and other attractions. The house is very well-equipped - everything has been thought of - and very comfortable. We particularly appreciated the muffins on arrival, fruit from trees on the property, the view of hills through the trees, and the reading lamp! Thank you!

Orchard Cottage was a wonderful place to stay as we ended our month long exploration of New Zealand. Jane is MORE than a gracious hostess, and took care of our every need. Close to Queenstown, yet isolated from the tourist crowds, it's hard to imagine a better accommodation. Just five minutes from "downtown" Arrowtown, with delightful restaurants and shops, and a fascinating museum. And close by the Gibston Valley wineries. Just about PERFECT. If we could rate it 6 stars we would!!!

Enchanting Country Cottage
This property is situated in a peaceful, tranquil setting, you are surrounded by the beauty of the mountains. Upon our arrival we were warmly greeted by Jane and her husband Roger. Jane spent time showing us around this quaint 2 bedroom cottage. This cottage is very well appointed, comfortable, and charming. Jane has left nothing untouched, it has all the personal touches of home. Right down to the home baking left for us in the kitchen, and the bath robes hanging in the bedroom closets! Perfect for a romantic getaway, or for a family this cozy haven is a ideal spot to relax, and unwind. I would highly recommend this comfortable cottage to anyone! We would definitely return.

Everything we needed and more!
This was a lovely, quiet and restful place to stay on our tour around New Zealand. There were lots of little unexpected extras and Jane was a perfect host. The beds were comfortable, we had everything we needed in the kitchen, the outdoor area was perfect and the location was quiet and peaceful but still close to lots of sights and activities. We will definitely book the cottage again when we come back to New Zealand!
