Fabulous tucked away property right in the city center where you can walk to anything at all needed. It offers private and easy parking. We loved that we could conveniently launder our clothes as well . It was a friendly and easy check in and out with a smile along with a small bottle of milk for our coffee. Thanks!

Lovely hosts! The room was comfy and cozy and perfect for us. The Wi-Fi was a little weak in our unit at the end of the property and Brenda kindly let me sit near the office on the patio of an empty unit to do some work on my laptop. We just lived Arrowtown and Queensland and would stay at Shades of Arrowtown again for sure!
