Luxury Arrowtown living with full 365-day VA
Tucked above the Arrow River, this fully renovated one bedroom apartment has quickly become one of Arrowtown's most sought after boutique retreats. Known as The Birch, it has built a five star reputation and a strong base of guests, thanks to its designer interiors, private hot tub and courtyard, and a location that puts Buckingham Street just moments away on foot.
The setting is as strong as the finish. Walk to Arrowtown Village and Millbrook, with the Ayrburn precinct a few minutes drive away. The river trails begin at the end of the subdivision, so your morning run, ride or wander is a few steps away. Few properties in the district offer this kind of connectivity without sacrificing the sense of seclusion.
What sets this property apart goes beyond location and finish. It holds 365 days of consented visitor accommodation, a position tightly held and hard to come by in Arrowtown. Combined with its proven guest demand, this consent gives an owner genuine, uninterrupted earning potential across every season, with the flexibility to use the property as their own Arrowtown base whenever they choose.
An Arrowtown address under $1.5 million is the exception, not the rule. A turnkey luxury asset in one of Queenstown Lakes' most tightly held locations, with a proven performance history that very few properties in the district can match.
Deadline Private Treaty 12pm, Fri 6 Nov, 2026 (unless sold prior). To be sold plus GST (if any).
The council's capital value of 1 Gala Burn Lane is $870,000 as at 1 Sep 2024: land $485,000 and improvements $385,000.

Building consents
We hold no building consents for this property yet. The council may hold records we have not seen.
If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.
We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
Zoning and hazards
What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.
The hazard maps could not be read just now.
What could you build here?
See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
