My husband, kids, and I absolutely loved this house. It is a historic building but has been renovated and decorated beautifully and warmly. First, it is just gorgeous--light and warm. Kitchen was very well appointed. We greatly appreciated the washer and dryer and the clothes line strung over the herb garden. Beds and bedding were fantastic. Great living space in the back of the house with a fabulous view and complete privacy.
Arrowtown is completely charming. Dorothy Brown's theater is a must (wine, a full bar and snacks in addition to popcorn!) We loved Fork & Tap, Patagonia chocolates (for ice Cream), the Chop Shop and Provisions. We also hiked, panned for gold (take the lesson at Dudleys cottage!), walked along the river.
The gardens were in full bloom, which was lovely, but I'm sure it is gorgeous here in the fall and winter, too. I hope that we can return.
