Stone Cottage with Fireplace

Hi, I'm James, owner of Arrow Studios and the person behind the small details you'll notice around the cottages. I've been hosting guests for over twelve years and I'm an Airbnb Superhost.

After a successful career as a TV producer, I've developed an eye for setting a scene and telling a good story, and I like to think that shows in how the cottages are presented. Years of travel, adventure and meeting people from all walks of life have taught me what makes a stay memorable: comfort, character, peace, quiet and a touch of class. I know this corner of Central Otago well. If you'd like tips on where to eat in Arrowtown, which bike or walking trail to head for, or where to find the best snow on the local ski areas, just ask.

The Stone Cottage is a timeless blend of historic charm and modern comfort. Tucked in a peaceful rural neighbourhood just minutes from Arrowtown, this schist cottage captures the essence of New Zealand’s heritage in a contemporary design. Inside, a welcoming open-plan living space with a wood-burner fireplace flows seamlessly into a dining area and fully equipped kitchen. The elegantly appointed bedroom connects to a modern character bathroom with amenities including air conditioning, broadband Wi‑Fi, and smart TV with Netflix.

Outside, enjoy a private terrace and landscaped garden with dramatic views of the surrounding mountains and peaceful farmland. A complimentary parking space, ski storage, and proximity to nearby walking or biking trails plus Arrowtown’s historic main street only a few minutes’ drive away make Stone Cottage the perfect base for exploring the scenic Gibbston Valley or enjoying winter sports at Coronet Peak or The Remarkables.

Convenient onsite parking, WiFi and Netflix are included.
