Marnie is a wonderful hostess—friendly, funny and warm. I showed up cold and wet after a long hike, and she set me up to do laundry and dry out my clothes. I even got to take a hot bath! True luxury.
The room was perfect—comfy bed with a heated blanket, plenty of space for all my luggage, very clean. There is a tea pot and coffee available in the room, which I loved and took full advantage of. The bathroom across the hall is large, clean and bright (and has a tub!) Her home is warm and inviting with sweet friendly dogs and chickens in the backyard. Her partner even made me breakfast in the morning.
The home is in a quiet location in a residential area, just a short drive from various restaurants in Arrowrown, or a slightly longer drive (20 min or so) to Queenstown.
I truly enjoyed staying with Marnie and would recommend it to anyone. I would love to come back!
