Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located in the center of Arrowtown, right by the tavern and central to all attractions. While the rooms were comfortable, the noise from the back courtyard of the pub could be disruptive at night. The service fell short in communication and responsiveness at times. The dining experience was superb with a fantastic pancake platter, and the location was quiet despite being in a pub setting.
The hotel is ideally located in the historic part of Arrowtown, providing easy access to all amenities. The rooms, although small and dated, offer a cozy stay, despite some lights and power outlets not fully functional. The service was friendly despite a slight delay in attention. The dining experience was delightful, featuring fresh organic products. The location is excellent, though some noise disturbances were noted during the night due to compressors running. Overall, a decent stay for the price.
