Reviews of The New Orleans Hotel - Arrowtown
R.
YUMMY, Delicious and WOW!! This is a GREAT HOTEL!! The food is snesational and the pub is warm, cozy, fun and has a great atmosphere AND puppy dog friendly!! We drive past lots of pubs and places to eat to experience The New Orleans as often as possible!! Thank you Kerry and your team, a special place to be in a world that needs more pubs like yours!!
C.
Great spot as usual. I've been going here since 1991. Great pub food to a high level. Open fire. Real historic character but very open areas, including sunny deck dining looking over the Arrow river. Don't expect the staff to smile these days! Probably overworked as it's hard to find workers in Queenstown. Thank you Covid and Labour Govt.
s.
Amazing service and food is amazing when you are in arrowtown definitely come here its well worth it.
N.
The rooms are pretty basic but nice enough. The staff are fantastic and the food and service in the bar is great 👍🏻
K.
Reasonably nice place to stay.
Heatpump is quite noisy though and sounds like you're sleeping in a factory! Could be old? Or needs cleaning..
Similar to the COVID "one in one out" policies in the shops, I would say it's like this in the bathroom here too😂 very cramped!
Sheets make quite a rustle and sounds like you're rummaging through a plastic bag 🤣
R.
Fantastic place to stay & dine. Room cost very good. Friendly, helpful staff, who looked after us very well.
B.
Great hosts had a great time cheers for that we will be back food was great
M.
The New O'! Very standard local pub, freshened up by the new owners. It hits the spot, has a few pokie machines and beers arent overly priced if yore careful- some of the tap beers will unexpectedly sting ya wallet though
L.
Service was quick and friendly. Lunch meals were very good, very big and great value for money. Would definitely recommend when visiting Arrowtown and looking for top quality, quick lunch and served with a smile
b.
Definetly recommend this place.. Even in level 2.. Amazing service friendly great sea food chowder
G.
Dogs allowed!! They even brought a bowl of water over for the aforementioned beast!!
A.
Our party of four dined at this establishment this week. We all throughly enjoyed our meals. Realistic prices. No complaints whatsoever. Staff friendly and welcoming. On a cold night the fire provided warmth and ambience. Family friendly and pleased the pool table has been done away with.
D.
Great pub with a warm and welcoming, local feel. Staff were very friendly and the food was great. My partner and I both had steak, both really well cooked and delicious. Main bit of feedback was that the roast potatoes were too large and not fully cooked in the middle. Overall, I would recommend this place and would go again.
K.
Excellent! Two adults and one kid during ski season - ribs had a nice flavour, pasta carbonara was very tasty and the kids nuggets and chips were delicious and came out immediately !
Our drinks were great, friendly service and warm :)
Would highly recommend - don’t snub a pub meal
Really happy kid (and adult) with the colouring pencils too
K.
Always a good stop off after walking some of the Arrowtown trails. The beer is cold and the wine smooth. A good selection of food and snacks. Reasonably priced. Great to sit down on the back verandah and watch the world go by.
w.
Great place to eat out and not break the bank. Despite being really busy because of COVID-19 we were seated fed and watered very quickly. The staff are excellent and really friendly. Would recommend.
C.
Great pub for quick drinks or food. $12 breakfast special is hard to beat around here. Wood fireplace creates great ambiance, but poor ventilation means you’ll smell like a wood fire for the next few days!
n.
Wicked food and very fast and efficient also 👍
M.
The place is nice, with fireplace and everything but the food is below average. We stopped for lunch, ordered two lambs and two blue cods, the lambs were so so and the cod was questionably done. None of us can finish the meal. Left with a disappointment with the food. The service and the staff are always good and friendly though. Shame let down by the cook. Perhaps it has something to do with the power being cut down by the heavy snow and didn't get restored until half an hour before we arrived?
J.
When visiting Arrowtown we always call into the New Orleans for a drink. We have always enjoyed our visits here, however found it very busy this time due to a wine/food festival that was moved indoors because of the rain. We will return again on our next visit though.
P.
We dropped in for a late breakfast as we were driving between towns and found this to be an awesome little pub. They had a couple of open fires going and a relaxed atmosphere. Breakfast was good but it was the general vibe that won us over.
J.
Great spot. Enjoyed our drinks and snack. Definitely worth visiting.
J.
Lovely comfortable, friendly place. Roaring fire, incredibly fast service for 3 out of 4 different meals. Roast meal of pork & veges was melt in your mouth & 2 pieces of crackling!! Met manager, chefs & current owner & told them all what a great place it is.
C.
The food is good - I love the rather large outdoor area - Friendly staff - Great place for a game of darts or pool or to just hang out with your mates 😀
N.
Really enjoyed our stay here! We came in early may 2016, and it seemed underutilized. But the room was very nice and clean, and the bathroom was great too. Staff was extremely friendly, and accommodated our request for an additional bed. In addition, they let us use the phone to make several local calls to figure out where we would go next. Full five stars, they were also considerably cheaper than other hotels in the area, so we were really satisfied with our stay here.
B.
Stopped by for dinner. It looked like a restaurant so assumed that we should wait to be seated but since there was a table available we just went over before it filled up. Menus were on the table and we had to order at the bar. They had the standard pub menu and then an Asian menu.
The place was quite packed and the food took a while to come but it all did come at the same time. I had the spicy chicken and it was spicy. Nice at the start but the heat built up. The Peking duck looked quite nice, a make yourself duck wrap but the flavours weren't right.
Nice pub food but not really a restaurant to sit and enjoy your food.
J.
The food is absolutely amazing. Beautiful surroundings with wonderful staff. Love eating here. Very reasonably priced as well
K.
Always go here for a meal when we stay in arrow town, wed night was no exception beautiful roast meal and beauty of a open fire going early March made eating out a real comfort Thank you 😃
K.
Absolutely delicious hearty burgers and real chips. Loved and with a cold Speights to finish off.
T.
Grim feel to the place. The venue, itself, looks nice. A large open fireplace and a good amount of comfortable seating. Area outside for drinking and live music on some nights. The clientele, on the other hand, grimy. Tons of loud-mouthed lads around shouting and playing "billy-big-balls" with each other. The beer is overpriced and the pumps are awful, even the bar man said so, took him about 3 minutes to pour me a pint of larger.
M.
Great place, had Tea and back for breakfast following day. Staff were friendly and made us welcome. Deffiently will go back.
M.
Rooms comfortable and clean. We were most impressed by the willingness of the chef to oblige, when asked for specific requests not listed on the menu. One of our overseas tourist wished for nothing more than 2 fried eggs and some bread. Granted, with no hassle whatsoever!! A HUGE burger kept our other wee tourist busy (but she conquered the challenge!) and I thoroughly enjoyed the salad, full of goodies. Lovely warm fire to keep us content.
R.
We chanced on this fabulous establishment in Arrowtown on a Sunday arvo.
Live music upstairs on a beautiful balcony that gives you a picturesque view of the near river.
After this we ventured inside. I had a salmon based meal ($28 NZ) that was cooked to perfection but obviously tasted great as well.
The staff that I encountered were extremely helpful and joyful.
I would be back here in a heartbeat if I could!
H.
Nicely renovated and nice flavoured beers on tap. Good food in the past and will be back again
D.
What a lovely hotel, clean with beautiful decor, friendly owners who talked with us like we were part of the family, and the food got to us fast and it was really really delicious.
N.
We’ve been coming here for about 22 years, recent visit was fast and friendly service, drinks were yummy, tad expensive for wines and cider selection is average. Was nice to have the game on a few tv’s though so we sat outside and had drinks and bar snacks which was a great environment. Can only suggest the calamari comes with lemon wedges and the cauliflower to be spiced with something more flavoursome as it was quite bland 🤷🏻♀️ hopefully in winter they have some kind of outdoor heating too!
R.
Good service. Picked sharing dishes. Food arrived hot and in good time.
G.
Awesome. Friendly staff. Good service
R.
Great staff very friendly. The food was beautiful too. Thank you for the very enjoyable lunch

Nice and friendly staff, a clean, warm and quiet room, shower didn't have consistent temperature. Wifi was good, Freeview worked well.
Parking was on the street, nearby and not a problem. Restaurant and bar: good.
L.
Really cosy place to go on a wet day (which it was when we were there) with the fire going. Staff very friendly. The main I ordered had a slight issue and this was sorted in a very professional prompt way that made sure we will definitely return.
S.
Fast efficient service, very friendly and down to earth. Food was exceptional, 5 stars

The food is good, the fire is lovely, service is efficient and it's very spacious. A fab pub for a drink and a bite to eat.
G.
Best burger I’ve had in my life! My only regret was not being able to finish it. Skip the Fergburger queues - take a trip to Arrowtown instead! Will definitely be back in the future.
K.
Great place to spot for a drink on a hot sunny day at the beginning of February. As a comment it was about the only venue during our 9 week NZ holiday where we couldn't get de-caf coffee!!
J.
Pub is probably the best in Arrowtown. Great ambience, music. Walked in from the cold Queenstown air and immediately loved the stone decor and wood fireplace. Open till late, which I didn't expect from Arrowtown.
Hotel is a bit of an inaccuracy. Feels more like an inn. With a pub downstairs and room upstairs. Not a bad thing, just "hotel" makes me think Hilton, not ye ol tavern. Price of room was not too bad, especially compared to expensive Queenstown prices 20 minutes down the road. Only rating 4 stars cos my bathroom had a bit of a weird smell to it. Not a bad toilet smell. Kinda reminded me of chocolate scented condoms in sex ed class.
Dining facilities in the pub are nice. Fancy decor, good food and drink.
A.
Great food, kiwi vibe great view from deck. Thanking
J.
Very busy, but quick and friendly service. Pizza was lovely.
J.
Friendly staff and lovely food. Enjoyed our stay.
S.
Great location. Really good food and friendly staff. Grab a seat on the deck for good views and a relaxing meal.
M.
The hotel is sparse, but good value for the location. It had free wifi that was decent and actually worked and was actually free and unlimited, unlike at a lot of other hotels I stayed in on the same trip. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and accommodating re room setup. The rooms are behind and above the pub, so there's a staircase to carry bags up; no elevator that I saw. There's parking behind the building--there are various areas of parking in the town with different restrictions around. There's 1-hour, 2-hour, and unlimited, each increasingly far away. Arrowtown is very cute and this is right on Main Street in the middle of everything. It's about 20km from queenstown.
The draught beer selection wasn't awesome, and we didn't eat, but the food smelled good.
L.
FANTASTIC service, good pub style food. Good for families or people who want good no fuss food with fast service, run by kiwis
E.
Food was really good. We had the seafood chowder with garlic bread. Service was awesome as well.
K.
Delicious meal. Tap a little pricey but not too bad. Great service too. We'll be back!

P.
Great food and drink selection Friendly staff
J.
This is a great pub in the heart of arrow town it needs a bit of local friendly knowledge like when you visited 30 years ago from staff... but obviously the staff are only there to earn a wage not inspire the tourist

Great food and has nice atmosphere. The tab area needs to be improved.it looks like they are not interested in having the facility.
T.
About to be renovated but I have liked it every time I went there. Good value in a town that can be expensive. Hopefully it is improved but not moving to the overpriced market.

Queenstown is famous for having NO free wifi! This hotel by virtue of providing free wifi is all worth it! Everywhere in Queenstown is overpriced to begin with so a free wifi perk makes all the difference. Music is nice in the pub too. Had a great time.

(Translated) We made hamburgers, pizza, and today's dishes, and everything is delicious. There is no overpowering, and beer is delicate. We did not stay and ate only food, but the view from terrace was wonderful.
