About this property

Luxuriously modernised Heritage cottage

"Isabella's Cottage" is a restored historic cottage built in 1884, and dating from Arrowtown's Gold Rush era. "Arrowtown...where history meets nature".

Isabella's cottage is just a few minutes walk from the centre of Arrowtown with its many attractions, restaurants, cafes, bars, museum and laid back atmosphere.

Arrowtown is surrounded by 3 golf courses, as well as having access to numerous trails. Arrowtown is often viewed as the hub of the Queenstown Trails network. The whole area is full of simply stunning scenery and activities to overload your senses!

Your stay in Isabella's Cottage will leave you spellbound!

Isabella's Cottage has undergone a complete 'make over' whilst retaining its historical charm. This encompassed full restoration and included a complete kitchen and bathroom replacement. All rooms upgraded and finished with selected heritage paint colours and give a genuine comfort. All furniture was selected or ordered bespoke to match the cottage style. Full insulation, under floor heating and electric wall heaters make it cosy warm in winter whilst retaining the historic design features which keep the cottage cool during the hot Central Otago summers.

Luxury linen along with genuine Alpaca Duvet's will ensure your relaxation is complete in the beautiful township of Arrowtown.
Special conditions:
Isabella's Cottage is a pet free, smoke free property. Please observe these conditions.

Linen is included, no extra charge; NOTE: As part of Kiwi bach tradition we just ask that you leave the cottage tidy (a full clean is not required!). It is a great help if you do the dishes before you leave, and strip linen off beds if you have time;

Giving back to the Arrowtown area!!...

Currently a huge effort is underway to eradicate the invasive Wilding Pines from the hills above Arrowtown and enhance with intensive planting of a more desirable mix of trees. As recognition of your stay at Isabella's Cottage, we will personally donate $15 specifically to replant an exotic tree. Your stay will be forever marked by a tree contributing to the autumn colours Arrowtown is renowned for ... how cool is that!!
