James “We loved staying at Alchemy Cottage.”
Really comfy, and so handy for Arrowtown (and skiing at Coronet Peak). A couple of matters that I thought the owners might want to have brought to their attention: 1. We thought it was a bit odd not having any blinds in the bathrooms. Fine for me and my two sons, but I imagine my wife and daughter would have been rather uncomfortable. 2. The front gate was rather stiff . . . again, OK for us, but would be tricky for an elderly person. 3. One of the bedside lamps in the twin room was a bit ...

None of the above affected our stay, just thought they might be helpful. Big thanks to the owners!

Pete “I guess I was a bit surprised that there was no soap, and limited toilet paper.”
Otherwise it was great.
- Pete, February 2024Steve “Second time at property as the first time was awesome.”
The location is the best and if you have a vehicle, there's great secure parking. A short stroll to the pub and the great main street of Arrowtown - this house is perfect for families or small groups. This place is also very warm - the heating in the house is exceptionally awesome. Two identical bathrooms are also very well appointed including heated floors. I'll be back one day!
- Steve, June 2023Steve “A brilliantly maintained and warm house with well appointed furnishing and facilities.”
It was perfect for the 4 of us for the weekend. We'll definitely be back to this property when we come to Arrowtown again. We're so happy with everything it offered including the location...just simply awesome.
- Steve, April 2023Pete “It met all our needs well, except the BBQ was damaged and unusable and the shower doors did not stop water spreading over bathroom floor.”
- Pete, March 2023Karen “Hi Karen, Thank you for your feedback.”
We are sorry to hear that not all was up to standard for your stay. We will work with the services on the ground to have all issues mentioned rectified and find out why the TV was not working. We do hope you come and stay again and enjoy your experience in Queenstown with us. Thanks, The Bachcare Team

Cherie “Accurately described, a beautiful facilitated cottage within walking distance to the main street and great places like the Fork and Tap.”
Perfect place to get to the snow resorts and only 20 minutes to Queenstown. We would definitely stay there again! The only criticism would be a recommendation for a drying room for ski gear which would have given this property a 10/10!
- Cherie, August 2022LisA “We loved staying at Alchemy Cottage.”
Perfect wee house, cozy and well appointed. Bathrooms were lovely. Brilliant location too.
- LisA, May 2021Larissa “We all loved our stay at Alchemy Cottage.”
A beautiful spot right in the heart of town. Small, but coped easily with our family of 5. We would definitely stay here again :)
- Larissa, July 2020Sally “A cosy winter getaway in a comfortable family sized home.”
Great location and good off street parking.
- Sally, June 2020Simon “This is the best place to stay in Arrowtown.”
We've stayed here twice. It's so close to everything, yet quiet and peaceful. Fantastic place to stay. 100% recommended. Will be returning.
- Simon, January 2020Phillip “Alchemy is a wonderful base for your stay in Arrowtown.”
Walk to everything or enjoy the world moving past, Alchemy has it covered.
- Phillip, November 2019Ellie “Alchemy Cottage is beautiful and provided the perfect base for our family holiday.”
It looked fantastic in the photos and when we arrived it exceeded our expectations. It’s cosy and comfortable while being stylishly designed with thoughtful details in every room. We actually felt like we were in a hotel, the furnishings were that lovely. The kitchen is well appointed and the bathrooms are fabulous - heated flooring a huge hit! We were also delighted to find a voucher for a complementary massage at nearby Oddfellows Beauty Therapy awaited our arrival. The massage was amazing and this generous gesture was hugely appreciated. We would be delighted to stay here again.

- Murdoch, July 2019Louise “Great house and excellent location.”
- Louise, July 2019Kevin “Great venue for the Festival; a short walk to marvellous restaurants; we were very cozy; thank you”
- Kevin, April 2019Peter “Great house in great location.”
Across the road best coffee and breakfast. Short walk to centre of town. Alchemy is 5 star accommodation, very modern with high quality furnishings. Pity about the TV, bring plenty of books.
- Peter, April 2019Hi Peter, we're so glad that you loved the house and location! We totally agree that the range of TV channels on offer in New Zealand is a little limited when you're used to more from overseas. This house does have Freeview. Bachcare

The property
Alchemy Cottage is a freshly restyled holiday home in the heart of Arrowtown, right across the road from some of the best coffee in town! Step outside and you’re 2-3 minutes from the town centre, a few doors down from an award winning day spa, and just a few paces away from the well-loved Provisions Cafe. If you’re visiting in Autumn make sure to head to the iconic tree-lined avenue around the corner, or if you’re visiting in summer head out for a riverside picnic just moments from your door. A clever design by Cassells Green fills the interior with all the comforts and style of modern living, while the exterior remains as charming as the fellow Arrowtown cottages around it. Open plan living with brand new designer furniture and art makes for an excellent chill-out spot after a day of adventure, and a great spot for a lazy breakfast before you set out for the day. Staying in Alchemy Cottage also puts the wider Southern Lakes area right at your doorstep. From the front door you’re just a 20 minute drive from Queenstown, 25 minutes from Coronet Peak and 50 minutes from The Remarkables Ski Area. If you're looking to stay a little out of Arrowtown, check out Alchemy Country Cabin as a great place to stay for a romantic couples trip. You can view this property by searching "Alchemy Country Cabin". Style, charm and location all make Alchemy Cottage the ultimate Arrowtown getaway for a couple or family!
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
