Best place to stay in Arrowtown
We spent 2 nights in this very special accommodation. Spectacular views from every window, gorgeous furnishings and the most comfortable bed. Highly recommend and by far the best place we stayed in South island NZ. Easy walk to town and surrounding attractions. The hosts are lovely (as are the very beautiful Burmese cats)

Comfortable apartment
The apartment was great. Bed was comfortable, space was nice. Location was OK, although it’s not as close to restaurants and stores as we would have liked - it’s a longish walk with a steep park in the way. An easy drive, but parking can be difficult.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel

Host profile image
We're a couple (Rachel & Francois) with 2 boys, Txema and Eneko. Rachel is originally from the UK and Francois from France, after traveling extensively we returned to New Zealand to settle in 2009. We are very active, love playing in the ocean and mountains, as well as great food and discovering local culture wherever we are.

Why they chose this property

We have set the Loft up as our home from home and are sharing all of those special touches with you now. We spend time here ourselves and feel instantly comfy as soon as we arrive. From the decor to the beds - it's just how we like it and we're sure you will too.

What makes this property unique

Because this is a place we use, we regularly add to it keeping it fresh and full of useful stuff (like the toasty machine and the Nutribullet). We also don't like to 'slum it' so you'll be sure to find our place clean, comfortable and not falling apart or dated!
