So glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for leaving the house so tidy. The pod machine is essential for us. Certainly gets a good workout when the family are staying! Brow Peak is great to look at from the deck and also, from the peak looking back over Arrowtown.

Meeting up with family before Antarctica

Great location to town and site seeing drives. Beautiful surrounds, very well kitted out, clean and lots of books and board games. Also, great access for people with movement problems. Anita was very accommodating with any requests. We'd stay there again.

A perfect little getaway for our family.

We stayed here for a few weeks and thoroughly enjoyed our time. The host was lovely and welcoming, and check-in was a breeze. The house was spotless, cosy, and warm, with super comfy beds that made it easy to relax.The location is ideal, just a short walk into Arrowtown for great cafes and restaurants, and close to beautiful hiking and cycling tracks. The home was thoughtfully set up with everything we needed, including those small details that made a big difference.Highly recommend for families or groups looking for a peaceful, well-equipped place to stay. We'd definitely return!

Fantastic home, location & service

Our family stayed in the house was for the NZ Ski Nationals and Anita could not have been more helpful in organizing and helping to sort us out. The home was perfect for the family in everyway. Very nicely presented with all the facilities we could want. Drying cupboard for ski gear, garage to load gear in, fire place and deck to relax, plus the heatpump and heated tiles made this a great warm stay. The kitchen, ,laundry and bathrooms were all modern and very well equipped. A quick 5min walk to Arrowtown, easy access to the creek for walks kept the kids busy and access to all the ski fields made this one of the best stays we have had. Highly recommended

Thank you for your lovely review Shaun. So glad you and your family enjoyed your stay in our family ‘crib’. Yes. It is warm in winter, especially with the ambience of the fire on a winters night. It’s proximity to the village, the 4 Square store and the river means that when you are ‘home’, the car can stay put as everything is very close. In summer, it’s great to pop down to the river to cool off or walk or ride the river trail. With our family staying often, we have ensured it is well equipped as a second home and it’s lovely to hear that the guests enjoy the extras.

Wonderful house

lovely big house in great location in Arrowtown. My elderly parents and I stayed here and it was great for them as the house was easily accessibly and it was a short walk into town. Owner super responsive when we had a small issue with a power outage (for the whole block not just the house), easy communication and check in. Would definitely stay again.

Family Time

This is a fantastic property. The house is obviously a very much loved family holiday home and the owners have gone to great lengths to make it a comfortable and wonderful place for others to enjoy. I was visiting my little granddaughters who live in Queenstown. I had my sister and 88 year old mum with me. The house was such a happy place to be and had everything we needed. we had some wonderful family times.I thoroughly recommend this property.

Amazing place for family ski holiday

We stayed here for a family ski holiday and absolutely loved it. The house is perfectly set up, warm and sunny, huge sunny private deck, full kitchen, great location. The garage setup meant we could easily unload and load ski gear without any mess or fuss and get away early for long days at the ski fields. We would love to stay here again!

It’s always very hard to leave Arrowtown. So glad you had a lovely stay. Cedar Cottage is a home away from home so we enjoy having it well equipped. Its nice to know others appreciate it too.
