We stayed in this well appointed motel set in absolutely beautiful grounds, and found the owners extremely hospitable and most helpful. The motel is located near excellent cafes and restaurants, and although near the centre of town, was quiet and peaceful. We thoroughly recommend this as a great place to stay in beautiful Arrowtown.

After many visits to Arrowtown this was the first stay over, very convenient to town, plus comfortable and friendly. You could not wish for better. Excellent base for visits to Queenstown. Recently converted well appointed rooms, with small kitchen unit should you need it, as you are very close to excellent restautrants.

This was our third stay in Arrowtown, and we've stayed at Shades of Arrowtown each time. Change of ownership since we stayed a couple of years ago, but still really good, nicely appointed rooms complete with the most important thing - coffee plunger and ground coffee!! Decent beds, good bedding, central heating as well as radiators in the rooms (very... More

lovely shady garden setting so close to everything and very well appointed at reasonable cost; much better than the business of Queenstown yet so close; small kitchen if you like to make your own snacks;

This is a Return Trip for us. We were initially here in 2009. While there are now new owners, it did not disappoint. My family, as well as my Sister's family and our Parents stayed at Shades for 7 nights as a base for Queenstown some 15-20 minutes drive away while celebrating Fathers 80th Birthday. Excellent range of accomodation; up... More

We were in a very good studio. The kitchen area was compact but had everything you needed. Very clean and comfortable. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again. It is close to everything in Arrowtown. Only comment would be that the door of the fridge would be better if it opened the other way because... More

People were super nice. Room was perfect for our needs, very clean and comfortable. Quiet area with absolutely beautiful gardens. Within walking distance to everything in Arrowtown. We highly recommend this Motel.

Extremely clean, tidy and comfortable, with shady, peaceful garden surroundings, very close to town centre - along with efficient, friendly and wonderfully helpful service (which in our case was to accommodate a special family surprise visit!) For value for money, I couldn't ask for a better venue than Shades of Arrowtown. Arrowtown itself is one of the loveliest little towns... More
