However, on arrival, very quickly we noticed that the maintenance is a bit lack...

Our first time stay with all our family including 4 young grandchildren for a family wedding. We had the house & a 2bdrm apartment. Fantastic accommodation! Cosy, clean & well set up. Tastefully decorated. Felt like home. Excellent outdoor living & wonderful to have a lawn for the kids to play on. Loved the area, quiet & peaceful. FourSquare a few mins walk away. Arrowtown centre 10min walk. Short...

If you’re looking for a quiet, pleasant, and affordable p...

I had a wonderful experience here at Arrowtown Motel Apartments. I will definitely be booking again!

We arrived later than expected, but our info was left on office door, lights were on in the apartment and the heating was turned on. This was a very welcoming feeling. Thank you very much. Rooms were big, clean, beautiful. Shower pressure was AMAZING after a long and cold day. Definitely worth the stay.
