If it's the colonial and historical
feel that attracts you to Arrow-
town, you'll enjoy The Old Villa
bed and breakfast.
The Old Villa is actually only 10
years old but it's been built in classic
settler style, complete with polished
floorboards, copper fittings and a coal
range.
Two minutes' walk from the main
street of Arrowtown, the B&B made
a perfect base for us to explore the
laid-back sights of Arrowtown - in-
cluding the historic town centre and
the fascinating Chinese gold-mining
settlement - and to stretch our legs
and explore the hills above the town
on some scenic walks.
The Old Villa combines elegance
with the cosy atmosphere of a cottage.
Our room had a queen-sized bed with
a white quilted cover offset by a blue
mohair blanket (with chocolates
placed on the end).
