- Simon (8/5): -
- Caroline (8/5): Arrowtown is a great place to stay away from the busyness of Queenstown. - Fabulous location right in the town and an easy walk to all town facilities. Cafe right across the road. We were very pleased with everything. Very good value for money.

- Lorne (10/5): -
- Christina (8/5): - We enjoyed the warmth, well equipped kitchen and overall cleanliness. I found rubbish in a bedside cabnet, and the shower wet the entire bathroom floor, making using it afterwards awkward. Maybe a weight on the shower curtain might help the water to stay more within the shower area?

- Nigel (10/5): Cosy and compact apartment nestled in the picturesque mountains - The property was clean and compact with everything we needed. It had outdoor bistro furniture on the verandah which was useful. The location was just perfect for exploring the small township of Arrowtown. The apartments were all situated in beautiful well kept gardens with mountains as your backdrop. It was everything we wanted it to be for our base. Nothing at all. The parking on the property was tight but there was plenty of room on the roadside.
- Hawke (8/5): Was a good location for a base without being in busy Queenstown - The location just small walk to village and gardens where great and they have laundry facilities staff where very friendly. Units could do with a bit of up dating

- Annette (9/5): - Friendly staff , including Jack the guard dog. Tv would have been better placed above the dinning table
- Jason (9/5): Excellent location, perfect for our couple needs - Cute tidy room with basic kitchen facilities. Compact but enough for what we needed. Friendly management, Brenda is great. Superb location at the base of Main Street for Arrowtown. And if you are lucky you’ll get to meet Jack, resident Labrador. Nothing outstanding to mention here.
