While not cheap, but understandably so - being the school holidays - the house was really outstanding. The same price would have got a double hotel suite in QT city with rollaway beds.
The house would have been an older bach/crib that's been remodelled with all the mod cons - a new galley kitchen and two new bathrooms with blissful underfloor heating which was so appreciated during the night. I loved how the master bed and bath are at the other end of the house from the kids rooms, meaning I got lots of sleep... Everything clean and lovely - heaps of firewood and all the hotel amenities you would expect were included. And the fire was just so rustic at the end of each day, and I loved how there was no TV - good touch.
2 minute walk to Arrowtown shops and our favourite breakfast at Chop Shop. Surrounded by local homes, you feel as though you are part of the community - super easy to get shopping as well. We are definitely coming back :).
