The River Hut is beautifully designed with a small on the outside, big on the inside feel to it. It's a 5 min walk into the Main Street in Arrowtown, and 2 minutes down to a great walking/cycle path along the river.
You'll need a hire car coming here, it's a 30 min drive into queenstown.
About 50 minutes to Wanaka and some great hikes and a good 4 hours to Milford sound - but definitely worth it if you get up before the sun!
We loved staying here and when we come back to this country we will definitely be coming back for more!
