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!

Perfect!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cedar Cottage in Arrowtown. The cottage was very well located for our needs and very clean and comfortable. Although we struck wintry weather in what was supposedly the middle of summer, the house is very well set up with underfloor heating and an efficient heat pump which kept us cosy. Lovely garden area and deck which we made use of when the weather came right on our last day. Thank you Anita for sharing your lovely holiday home with us. Cheers Jill

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

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.

About the host

Hosted by anita burgess

Host profile image
Cedar Cottage is our family holiday house or crib as they are known in Southland and Otago. Our children and now our grandchildren love our holidays here. Originally built in the 1960's, we renovated it in 2005.

Why they chose this property

We love being in the quiet area of Arrowtown, close to the river and the hills.

What makes this property unique

The Arrowtown tracks are so close for walking and biking and the river for swimming and dam building.
