Picolo recommends · Hotel in Arrowtown, New Zealand
Millbrook Resort
Fairways, a quiet pond and mountains on every side, with the old gold rush streets of Arrowtown a stroll away for dinner.
Morning mist lifts off the lawns, and the first golfers are already out under the hills. Millbrook is a resort laid out like a country estate, with rooms and villas set apart across open grounds.
Arrowtown, a former gold rush settlement of small timber cottages, is right next door. Queenstown, with its lake and adventure sports, is a short drive away, so you get space here and the busy town when you want it.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Millbrook Resort
Millbrook is our choice for golf, spa days and families who need room to spread out. The villas give you breathing space, and an evening walk into Arrowtown for dinner is one of the best parts of a stay.
Without a car you depend on taxis to reach Queenstown, which adds up. If you want lakefront bars and nightlife on your doorstep, a hotel in Queenstown itself suits you better.
