Lizzie's stone cottage in Arrowtown is wonderful!
Before our stay, Lizzie went out of her way to help us with items for our toddler, and helped us with places to rent him toys. She went through extra effort to make sure our stay was great. She is responsive if you need anything as well
The location is great - 5 minute quick walk to the main street and around the back is a 5 minute walk to the millennium trail / Tobin's track. Tobin's track is highly recommended - it's not a tough hike up, but the views are beautiful. Best to map your walks before leaving the cottage, but neighborhood is very friendly and will put you towards the right location. For groceries, would suggest going to the Countdown on your way to the airport, Arrowtown's small market has limited items and you are about a 15-20 minute drive from
Queenstown. That said, drive is beautiful if you go mountain way
Loved the garden - was mowed the day we got there - living in a city, our kid loved running around and playing. Thr scenery surrounding the cottage makes for a nice backdrop
Nothing but positives.... Would definitely stay again, maybe during ski season. Makes even more sense if you don't mind driving to Queenstown, because the area around here isn't as busy
