There was nothing not to like. Everything worked well and was very comfortable. And the shower was the best I’ve had in ages, it’s better than my one at home. Now I have shower envy…

This is a sweet property and just at the edge of the Main Street. Walking trails are a couple of minutes away. It is a lovely small community to stay in. Busy on the weekends but quiet in the week.

We stayed in Number 11. It was a beautiful, small apartment, and was very well appointed. It was super clean and the kitchenette is a handy feature, even if the fridge was pretty noisy. There's plenty of space for luggage as there's a massive walk in wardrobe. The bathroom was very spacious and modern. The owner is very friendly and is a super host. Would definitely love to stay here again! Shades is within a few minutes walk of the picturesque Arrowtown High St. but the accommodation itself is very quiet and relaxing, it's set in lovely gardens. Recommend

Lovely hosts! The room was comfy and cozy and perfect for us. The Wi-Fi was a little weak in our unit at the end of the property and Brenda kindly let me sit near the office on the patio of an empty unit to do some work on my laptop. We just lived Arrowtown and Queensland and would stay at Shades of Arrowtown again for sure!

It was a wonderful stay. The room was cleaned and well maintained. I worked in 5 star hotels and I would rate this as a 5 star stay. It was perfect location and not far from the bus that takes you to Queenstown. I would stay here again when I’m in Queenstown.

Great use of space in the unit. Good heating and kitchen facilities. Only comment is no iron which I wasn’t particularly worried about but would have been handy.

Great property, very close to the Arrowtown main centre. Beautiful setting and the autumn colours on the mountains framing the property are just a beauty to behold. The hosts Frank and Brenda were lovely and very welcoming and took time out to talk to the guests.
