We’ve been coming back to Arrowfield for 15+ years and love the location and comfort. Part of Arrowtown but just out around the corner so not affected by tourists / visitors- yet only a short walk into town through the Chinese Village (Ruins from the golf rush days). Also only a 15 minute drive into queenstown. Good gas fire heating kept us plenty warm (got down to Zero Celsius last night). Call them direct and Scott will certainly help you out. Very popular in peak periods.

As a couple on a 3-week holiday around the South Island moving around constantly, we wanted a spacious, quiet place that felt like home. This ticked all the boxes and more! Communication with Scott to assure we had a quiet spot, laundry facilities and storage for our bikes was great. We opted for the 2 bedroom/2 1/2 bath and it was perfect. Full-sized kitchen with all the goodies (hob, oven, full fridge and all the tools) and a very roomy living area with an electric fire made us definitely feel at home. So much so, that we stayed an extra night. Great to have the use of the pool and gym- clean and well-maintained.. We definitely felt this was good value for the money. The only niggly bit for me was that there were no hangars in the closet - small thing overall :)

What a gem! We loved our stay, and wished we'd booked for longer. Wonderful property, fantastic location, immaculately clean, very friendly and communicative hosts. Spacious, comfortable and very well equipped for longer stays.

We stayed as a couple and loved it but could also see it as perfect for a group of people being a 3 bedroom apartment. A very modern and homely space with a full kitchen and laundry, a pleasant change from motel accommodation if you are staying more than one night. Would highly recommend and hope to return. Thanks Scott!

We stayed here for a wedding with 3 couples of adults in the 3 bedroom apartment. It was very tidy and clean and they were so accommodating. The living areas were spacious with lots of room for everyone. It was a great stay. Handy tip if you get up early (7 am ish) you can see the hot air balloon in the air that has take off from Lakes Hayes it looked amazing in the sunrise.

Excellent Location. Our apartment was very tired and in need of some urgent TLC. The carpets were badly stained. The Kitchen appliances need updating. The bathroom vanity bowls spilled water all over the vanity tops. There is no smart TV and so no access to Netflix, Neon or TV on Demand. If you are house proud, then this is not the apartment for you. It was not value for money. The laundry is in the small garage. There is no underfloor heating and so cold even in summer. We had to use the gas fire most days. There was one super-king bed upstairs with the shower over a narrow bath in the upstairs bathroom. The downstairs bedroom had a queen bed with a small ensuite. The lounge furniture needs replacing or reupholstering. The cleaning standard was very poor.

Response from Arrowfield Apartments, General Manager at Arrowfield Apartments
Responded 21 Feb 2021
We are very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your apartment and things were not to your liking. It is important to note that the TV in your apartment along with all of the furniture, beds and decor were all fully replaced less than 2 years ago. The TV is SMART compatible so access to all online streaming is available - had we have know that you had difficulty being able to work this, we would have been able to rectify this issue. All apartments have single garages with laundries at one end of them as advertised on our website. They also all have underfloor heating but this is usually only used in the colder months since it is generally so warm in summer. On the odd occasion that there is a brief cold snap in summer such as what you may have experienced during part of your stay, the gas fire (and portable electric heaters that are in every bedroom) are usually more than sufficient - all of the apartments are fully insulated and double glazed so they hold the heat well. Naturally cleaning standards are extremely important to us as they are to anyone running accommodation & guests regularly comment on how clean they are. In your case it appears this may not have been up to scratch & that is regrettable & we have taken your feedback onboard.

Lots of people advised us not to stay in Queenstown because of its commercial, touristy nature and we’re so glad that we followed their advice. Arrowtown is a fabulous little town with great architecture, interesting things to do and wonderful eateries. Arrowfield apartments was easily the best self-catering place that we stayed in during our month in NZ, so much so that we regretted not having stayed longer than we did. The 2 bedroom apartment was immaculately clean, beautifully furnished/decorated and equipped with everything that we could possibly have wanted. Their was a dishwasher and laundry facilities in the garage (all included in the rental price.) Free wifi and a selection of local magazines were available. The bed was exceptionally comfy and the toiletries were eco-friendly. Outdoor furniture was supplied along with a BBQ. Tennis courts and pool are on site. The owners were fantastic, accommodating a very late arrival and an early departure with absolutely no problem. It is a short drive to Queenstown and up to the ski resorts on the surrounding hills, so you can easily take advantage of all it has to offer. The gondola ride is fantastic (if expensive.) Supermarkets, petrol stations and retail therapy are all nearby, making life very easy. Fantastic place. Like home from home. Cannot praise it highly enough. …

We stayed at Arrowfield for a week and enjoyed every minute. The 3 bedroom apartments are beautifully presented and we had a comfortable bed in a spacious bedroom with ensuite. Upstairs were two other bedrooms which shared a family bathroom with shower over bath. Everything was provided in the kitchen to prepare meals and the bonus is the Arrowtown Butcher literally over the fence (and a short walk around the street!) There is a pool and Tennis Court available for use which is a bonus. We walked into Arrowtown which took us about 15 minutes at a leisurely pace. Scott is a very accommodating Manager and made us very welcome at the complex. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to couples and families visiting the Arrowtown-Queenstown area.

To end our month-long visit to New Zealand, we spent 4 nights at the Arrowfield Apartments in Arrowtown. We got a 2 bedroom unit with 2 bathrooms which also had a nice kitchen and a lovely living/dining area. What a peaceful place to return to each evening. The location turned out to be excellent. We had very easy access to Queenstown and Arrowtown but also to Cromwell and Wanaka. You can walk to Arrowtown in 10 minutes which means no need for taxi or designated driver for dinner at one of the wonderful restaurants in Arrowtown. And then when you are ready to leave the airport is an easy 20 minutes away.

What a gem this place is. Family of 5 super impressed with the comfy, modern apartments. Pool and gym also a hit with teens. So close to Arrowtown and Franklin and Queenstown. The ideal location for adventuring from. Will definitely come back!
