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.

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.
