Isabella's Cottage is a restored historic cottage built in 1884, and dating from Arrowtown's Gold Rush era. Arrowtown...where history meets nature.

Isabella's cottage is just a few minutes walk from the centre of Arrowtown with its many attractions, restaurants, cafes, bars, museum and laid back atmosphere.

Arrowtown is surrounded by 3 golf courses, as well as having access to numerous trails. Arrowtown is often viewed as the hub of the Queenstown Trails network. The whole areais full of simply stunning scenery and activities to overload your senses!

Your stay in Isabella's Cottage will leave you spellbound!

Isabella's Cottage has undergone a complete 'make over' whilst retaining its historical charm. This encompassed full restoration and included a complete kitchen and bathroom replacement. All rooms upgraded and finished with selected heritage paint colours and give a genuine comfort. All furniture was selected or ordered bespoke to match the cottage style. Full insulation, under floor heating and electric wall heaters make it cosy warm in winter whilst retaining the historic design features which keep the cottage cool during the hot Central Otago summers.

Luxury linen along with genuine Alpaca Duvet's will ensure your relaxation is complete in the beautiful township of Arrowtown.
Special conditions:
Isabella's Cottage is a pet free, smoke free property. Please observe these conditions.

Linen is included, no extra charge; NOTE: As part of Kiwi bach tradition we just ask that you leave the cottage tidy (a full clean is not required!). It is a great help if you do the dishes before you leave, and strip linen off beds if you have time;

Giving back to the Arrowtown area!!...

Currently a huge effort is underway to eradicate the invasive Wilding Pines from the hills above Arrowtown and enhance with intensive planting of a more desirable mix of trees. As recognition of your stay at Isabella's Cottage, we will personally donate $15 specifically to replant an exotic tree. Your stay will be forever marked by a tree contributing to the autumn colours Arrowtown is renowned for ... how cool is that!!

    This house provided the perfect base for a wonderful holiday in Arrowtown. The house is beautifully presented with the historic character carefully retained. The garden is a real delight, and we spent long evenings enjoying BBQs in the quiet backyard. There was a good range of excellent shops and cafes, and a supermarket, all just a short walk away. The hosts were communicative and helpful.We loved the scenery, vineyards and local history of Arrowtown and the surrounding area - and this house was the perfect base to enjoy it from. Highly recommended!

    The host sent a message and responded promptly to replies. There was a nice touch of a bottle of wine and block of chocolate on arrival.The property was clean and tidy, in a very peaceful and quiet street, plus only an easy 5 min walk to the main street. Rooms were a decent size. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

    Bathroom was difficult set out. To have a shave you had to move away from the basin to look in the mirror. Also the shower glass screen was dangerous as it is not supported across to the wall.

    We loved our stay at Isabella's cottage. It was 10 out of 10 for cleanliness, comfort and personality. The kitchen was very well stocked and there was also unexpected treats on arrival which we enjoyed under the verandah in the evening :-)Many thanks to our hosts Noel and Caro - we know where to book on our next visit to Arrowtown!

    Isabella’s Cottage is the most delightful heritage cottage perfectly located in Arrowtown and has been appointed in such a way that there is nothing that hasn’t been thought of and provided. Extremely comfortable and only a few minutes delightful walk to shops cafes bars and restaurants. Couldn’t hope for a better place to stay and so in keeping with the the whole feel of the town.

    Very nice, quiet, historic property with easy walking distance to the sights and activities of Arrowtown. The cottage is much larger than I anticipated with generous rooms and a well appointed kitchen. The bottle of wine and thoughtful welcome gifts were much appreciated. All the appliances and fixtures worked as they should; linens were cozy and nice quality. The only thing that would have made the stay better is a desk or table top with a backed chair to make working on a laptop easier and more comfortable. We found the stools at the kitchen bench uncomfortable. Still, we loved our stay and would book again.

    Perfect cottage in a perfect location within a short walk of the Arrowtown shops. Everything as described, perfect for a family stay.A drainage problem that reared it’s head during our stay was attended to speedily, and there was only minor disruption. These things happen.Beds comfortable, kitchen had all one needs, bathroom perfect - couldn’t have asked for happier accommodation.Many thanks, would certainly recommend Isabella’s to any couple/family visiting the Arrowtown area.

    We had a wonderful stay at Isabella’s cottage- full of charm, comfort and in a fantastic location just a few minutes walk from Arrowtown’s Main Street. Beautiful views of the mountains from the lovely bedrooms, and lots of homey touches were so appreciated. Thank you very much to our hosts for having us stay in their beautiful property, and for the lovely treats and late check out- much appreciated. Thoroughly recommend and hope to make our trip an annual visit!

    We were two sisters travelling together and had the most wonderful time in this gorgeous cottage. The hosts provided everything we could want/need with a thoughtful supply of kitchen goods, tissues in every room and treats!! The garden is gorgeous and property well maintained. It was a pleasant stroll into the centre of Arrowtown. Would definitely stay here again!!!
