Old Villa Homestay Bed And Breakfast

We had such a nice, but short visit the first time that we planned to return for longer in March 2015 with a 93 year old, active mother. We arrived to a warm welcome from Arch & June & could hardly believe a year had passed! Breakfasts are wonderful as was tea in the garden. Our hosts always eager to make recommendations suiting our interests. Still a highlight of our trip.

June and Archie are such good hosts that we didn't want to leave! The villa is set a short walk (about 5 mins) away from the centre of Arrowtown in a peaceful residential street. It is June and Archie's home, with two pretty guest rooms at the front, a large living/sun room and kitchen area to the rear and their separate living quarters upstairs. From the moment of arriving you are treated like family rather than paying customers - so much so that we almost forgot to pay when we went home!! We took the smaller room, which has its own little patio. If you fancy the larger room, don't worry that it doesn't have a patio as there is a large seating area in the back garden anyway. With only two guest rooms, it is easy to chill out and have privacy, and we found our stay very relaxing. Breakfast is a lovely homemade affair and differed slightly everyday, depending upon what June had been baking. Lots of it was made from their own produce (they have an allotment) - even the jam was homemade. It was also fun to chat to June, Archie and the other guests each morning, and we sat out in the garden with Archie one afternoon and had a drink and a chat. When it was time to move on to our next destination we were very sad to leave. What a lovely place and lovely people. Thanks June and Archie!

June and Archie run a lovely B&B in the heart of Arrowtown. Their beautiful home has been tastefully furnished and gives easy walking access to everything . We also enjoyed the evening chats in the sitting room. Thank you for a lovely stay.
