9.2/10 Wonderful! (51 reviews)
We had an excellent week long stay. The place had great views of Lake Wakatipu and is walking distance to town (albeit a bit uphill coming back). A few dings here and there but very clean, comfortable and not noisy, kitchen was more than adequate to cook daily meals for a family of 6. Beds were adequate and comfortable. Washer and dryer is great, detergent provided for. No appliance were noted to be out of order. Ample private parking for 2 cars. The best part was the hospitality, Element Escape (especially Luke and Lucy) was an awesome host, their communication was excellent, prompt with notifying issues and also very responsive to my requests. Check-in and check-out process was seamless, instructions were clear and concise. I would definitely recommend.

We loved our two-night stay here! The rooms were quiet, spacious and clean and the common areas were lovely. The hot tub was a highlight on a chilly night! Our host, Jennifer, was very responsive and made sure we had all we needed. Perfect location to explore the region around Arrowtown. Would definitely stay here again!
