Riverside Retreat Arrow Junction

PaulRating, 5 stars5 months ago

A self contained guest house across the drive way from the main residence, Allister's place is in a beautiful location along the Queenstown Bike Trail. The decor is a little dated but clean and presentable. There was a shared hallway and staircase in the configuration we had. If you're lucky enough to be there on a warm day, the nearby swimming spot in river is an adventure to get to, but well worth the effort. Allister was an accommodating and responsive host

Perfect for 2 families

AshleyRating, 5 stars23 months ago

This lovely home had everything for our family of six. The end with loft bedroom could be closed off for extra privacy for adults which was great. Main living areas were great. The fire got a workout and kept us warm. The bedrooms also all had heaters which helped on the cold nights. Kitchen had everything we needed. We eventually found the microwave in the laundry. Plenty of bedding and other supplies. The location of the house is fantastic. Arrowtown is such a beautiful place with plenty of great places to eat. The Arrow River is a very short walk from the house and is a beautiful walk. It’s also well located for travel into Queenstown and Wanaka. We would definitely stay in this great house again.

A panoramic view of a peaceful residential area shows stone and wood buildings under a clear blue sky. The property is framed by a rustic wooden fence and landscaping, with a mailbox positioned at the edge of a gravel road.

Great place for big family to stay in. They have a garden for the kids to run around. There’s no fan provided but with the cold breeze at night, it’s not an issue. Plus they have centralise aircon for the house. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

Had everything we needed in the kitchen for preparing meals for a large group and baking a birthday cake !. Very good carparking safe quiet surroundings and private rear yard. Easy drive to town and over the hill to Queenstown. A super relaxing stay for a large group. The design of the house allows for quiet bedrooms away from living space. Couldnt have asked for more.
