The 1909 Gables Villa

Welcome to The Gables, a beautifully restored 1909 villa offering timeless character and modern comfort in the heart of Arrowtown. Originally built over a century ago and thoughtfully relocated in 2002, this elegant three-bedroom home blends heritage charm with understated contemporary style, all in a peaceful, picturesque setting.

Bedrooms:

Enjoy restful nights in one of three cozy bedrooms, each with wall heaters for year-round comfort:

2 x Queen Bed
1 x 2 Single Beds

Bathrooms:

1 x Bathroom with walk-in shower.

Kitchen and Living Space:

Soaring ceilings, rich timber floors, and charming ornate details honour the villa’s historic character, while a palette of fresh neutral tones and refined modern finishes create a calm, elevated atmosphere throughout. The light-filled open-plan kitchen and dining area is bathed in natural sunlight, offering a welcoming space to gather and dine, with effortless flow through to the outdoor deck.

A separate lounge provides a cosy retreat, complete with a feature gas fireplace - perfect for unwinding after a day exploring Arrowtown.

Outdoor Area:

Step outside to a beautifully maintained deck and established grounds, ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. Fire up the BBQ and enjoy long, sun-soaked afternoons surrounded by Arrowtown’s stunning scenery. Whether you’re hosting or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings, the outdoor spaces offer a perfect extension of the home.

Neighborhood:

Located on a tranquil, established 905m section, The Gables sits near the Arrowtown Hills with leafy views and a sheltered, relaxed feel. A walkway to the popular Millennium Track is virtually on your doorstep, and Arrowtown's historic village - filled with cafes, restaurants, shops, and walking trails is just a short stroll away.

We will be available to answer any questions you may have prior or during your stay. The Tahuna Team will also be on call for any urgent needs after 5 pm.
