Quiet, home from home retreat

Very clean, comfortable and quiet retreat - hosts were extremely helpful and lots of nice welcoming touches including delicious homemade cakes. Spacious for two people and a lovely view of the mountains.

Exemplary in Every Way

A cosy, beautifully presented, compact cottage adjoining the owner's home. Set within an immaculately maintained English style garden with mountain views. It is very apparent that the owners strive to go that extra mile to provide their guests with the wonderful experience that is a stay at Orchard Cottage. The warm welcome that we received from Jane, and the special treats that we found scattered about, were very much appreciated. The specially baked little heart shaped cakes, and the bubbly in celebration of our wedding anniversary were indicative of that extra mile.

This was a real home away for us. We got spoiled by homebake by the perfect hosts.

What a wonderfull spot on earth 👍 The cottage is not only well equipped - it is also full of love from the hosts. If you look for a beautiful and tranquil spot where you can enjoy the view of the mountains from your own garden this is the place. But take good care of it - so we can enjoy it again next time 😀😎

Views to Mt Dewar while make your morning coffee!!

Orchard Cottage had everything we needed for a stress free getaway in a quiet corner of Arrowtown. Jane and Roger were welcoming and informative hosts, ensuring our every comfort was catered to. We loved all the personal touches in the cottage making us feel completely at home. Jane's baking was delish!!! Thank you for sharing your magical corner of the world where the Tuis entertain. We hope to return soon.
