Quaint, thoughtfully decorated B&B. Located in the heart of Arrowtown but within a tranquil garden setting. Spotlesslessy clean and comfortable rooms. June and Arch were wonderful hosts and made many thoughtful touches such as welcoming drinks and shortbread in rooms. Delicious home make breakfast that sets you up for the day. Great value and will definitely stay again in the... More

My husband and I stayed at the Old Villa just after Christmas and the quality of the accommodation along with the hospitality of the hosts surpassed our expectations. Arch and June could not do enough for us. They treated us like family members and were so generous with their hospitality. The house is beautifully designed in ethnic planter style. It... More

I, with my wife and my daughter stayed in Old Villa on Sept 10, 2011. It was a really nice experience to stay there. Spacious room with a touch of antique decoration. Electric blanket is provided for the double bed. We had a time to chit chat with the lovely owners and they gave us the nice homemade biscuits. And... More

Our stay at the Old Villa was very enjoyable. Our room was spacious, very clean and nicely furnished. Booking is not automatic, there is no online booking system in place but the hosts are very good at answering e-mails. Check in was easy, we were given a choice of rooms. The hosts are extremely nice and friendly but not too... More

This place is hidden gem, and we're so glad we stayed here. It was wonderful meeting June and Arch, who were the most warm and caring hosts we met during our stay in NZ. June's breakfast was the best we had in NZ, everything made from fresh vegetables plucked from her garden. The house is also close to some amazing... More

Our 3 nights at the Old Villa in Arowtown were wonderful. June and Arch made us feel right at home greeting us warmly when we first arrived and when we returned at the end of each day. The Old Villa is quiet and relaxing yet only a few minutes walk from the shops and restaurants of this unique, lovely little... More

We stayed for two nights whilst visiting the picturesque little township of Arrowtown. The town is a popular day trip from Queenstown but staying there enabled us to see it at a more relaxed pace. Our room (for three people) was beautifully decorated and furnished as was the whole property. Our hosts June and Archie made us feel more like... More

We had a two night stay at the Old Villa and really enjoyed our breakfasts. The owners, Arch and June, were very helpful. We borrowed their gold panning equipment, something I've always wanted to try, had no success but had fun! Charming bedroom with a patio leading to the garden. Biscuits and tea making facilities. Easy walk to the town... More

After much adventure, we booked 3 nights at the wonderful Old Villa. Arch & June are warm, gracious hosts who welcomed us on arrival with tea & yummy cake in their beautiful gardens. Our room was tastefully decorated (the copper on the toilet is fantastic!), with beautiful crockery & facilities to make our own tea and coffee & a refrigerator... More
