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!

The cottage was spacious and had everything we needed. Lovely outdoor area.

So pleased we picked this cottage . It exceeded our expectations . A home away from home. Loved the special touches such as home baking and fresh herbs. Will be back. Highly recommended

Great location, a very short drive from Arrowtown- all home comforts and wonderful hosts.

Lovely well equipped cottage, great hosts - attentive but discreet, need a car. Would book again.

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.

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!

Lovely and private! As a party of three (two adults, one child) this cottage was just what we needed. A five minute drive to Arrowtown and easy to get everywhere else. Loved it. Thanks.

This cottage offered a delightful retreat and exactly what I needed. Beautifully appointed, cosy and comfortable and in very quiet location. Highly recommended. Wonderful hosts, very accommodating to my needs under changing family circumstances.

A wonderful place to stay where we would return to tomorrow if we could!

Everything was good for us.

Wonderful hosts. Great place. Spotless and comfortable.

Peaceful, quiet, warm and sunny cottage with all the facilities required. Easy access to Arrowtown and other attractions in Queenstown and beyond. Host very friendly and helpful.

Great stay with lots of little extras that were gratefully received

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!!!

a lovely cottage comfortable and clean and very helpful and wonderful hosts Thank you we take with us many happy memories of a special stay there and of Arrowtown.

Absolutely superb and comfortable cottage....quite beautiful....all mod cons.Hosts that look after one and handy to stunning surroundings but tucked away from the mad crowds and 5 mins from Arrowtown. Highly recommended.

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.

Jane’s cottage is just wonderful and presents a truest 5 star experience. Every little thing is provided and more. You will think you have landed in heaven.

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!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Very well presented property; spotless and well equiped with everything you possibly need. The host was very friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend this place to anybody visiting this area.

We were in Arrowtown for a wedding which happened to be in the same road. My sister found this cottage which was just perfect. Jane and Roger were amazing hosts and made us feel at home. The extra little details in the cottage were so appreciated. We would love to revisit in the future. Debbie, Wayne and Trudy promises to come next time. thanks again

This was ideal for us. Thank you Jane

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Orchard Cottage and the incredibly well equiped accommodation provided an excellent base to enjoy both Queenstown and Arrowtown . We enjoyed sitting on the veranda with rugs over our knees watching the light changing on the mountain after eating our barbecue. We walked to Millbrook Estate and down to Lake Hayes using Jane's thoughtfully provided directions. Jane is an incredible host and we enjoyed her delicious muffins and plums from the orchard. We look forward to our next holiday at Orchard Cottage, thank you so much Jane and Roger!

We had a fantastic and perfect stay. The cottage contains everything you could ever need, location is great for exploring, a car is recommended. Jane and Roger were the perfect hosts.

We all fell in love with the property as soon as we arrived. The location was fantastic for what we were wanting to do on this holiday (cycling/walking on the trails). We definitely want to return again. ??

Wonderful stay in every way. Comfortable, relaxing, amazing hosts and nice location. Close to everything, but away from it all at the same time. Arrowtown is a lovely community. Liked it as much or more than Queenstown!

Very private, warm and cozy cottage in rural setting with excellent modern facilities. Couldn't fault the host - an excellent friendly host who had the cottage set up beautifully for our arrival (including fresh cut flowers, delicious fresh baking and other treats) and was very responsive to any questions or special needs that arose (umbrella when it rained etc). Very clean and tidy accommodation. Not that any of these bothered us particularly, but some things to note: the bedroom with the two single beds is accessed through the other bedroom; there is no lock on the bathroom door; shower has fixed energy-saving head (so not particularly good water pressure in the shower); king size bed is fairly firm, but then it may have been softer without the electric blanket; car park space is very close to cottage but not under cover. Overall excellent value for money though, very happy with our choice.

Beautiful sun spot, private. easy to find location

Our boys wanted to leave a 5 (or more if they could) star review within 10 minutes of arriving at the cottage. Every detail was perfect and so many lovely unexpected touches that made us feel perfectly at home and well looked after (and so warm in mid winter!). We were left wanting nothing and really feel that we got much more than we paid for. We would welcome the chance to stay there again and hope to do so the next time we are in the area.
