Sarah was a great host and provided us with local information. The room was so tidy and neat, and everything that you can think of was provided. The breakfast was perfect and so creatively served. It's definitely a hidden gem. Thank you for a great stay.

It's my favorite house we've ever lived in. I have to say it's dream house. The house is warm and beautifully furnished, the details of the decoration are well done, and the flowers also very beautiful. Male made a good breakfast, she is enthusiastic and tought us how to make bread. Highly recommend staying here! We'll stay here again if we come to New Zealand again.

Dan and Mitzi are great hosts and managed to build an amazing and wonderful Bed and Breakfast. The room was cozy and comfortable, the shared area with a fireplace made the evening special and super relaxing. Breakfast is delicious and has a couple of varieties, so that everyone should be able to find something. The location is quiet, offers options for nice walks and is just a few minutes drive away from Queenstown. We really enjoyed our stay, thanks!

Quirky Farm stay not far from the main area. Was a lot cheaper than staying in the main town. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Was wonderful getting to feed all the different animals they have on their property. Room was away from the main house so nice and quiet. Toilet and shower was a short walk across an enclosed verandah and was for our private use. Freshly made bread and eggs were supplied for breakfast. Along with their own honey as well as jam and butter.

Sam and Fred were great hosts, providing amazing home prepared breakfasts. They took time to talk about the house and surrounding area, offering suggestions of where to eat and places to visit. The room was separate from the main house, very private with great facilities. It was a short walk to Lake Dunstan track, and a few minutes to get to The moorings for dinner. Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, it was a short drive to the main road between Cromwell and Wanaka.

Great location, easy to walk or get a bus into town. The hosts were so welcoming and friendly, including two dogs! The breakfast was great, with both hot and cold options. The attic room was comfortable, quiet, and private. The hosts kindly let us leave our luggage there after checkout as we had a later flight. It was a lovely property. Would definitely recommend!

The studio is very spacious, private, tastefully decorated and has a lovely ambience. It had everything we needed and comms and check in etc were a breeze. The provided breakfast (self serving) of fresh fruit, juice, cereals, yoghurt, breads, and tea and coffee was great. A more residential location but nice and quiet and an easy drive or walk to central Wanaka.

Luxury in a tremendous B&B! Fantastic apartment. And - very seldom enough - plenty of hooks for our clothes. Private parking, comfy beds and every morning a delicious breakfast served in the room. Located in a very quiet neighbourhood in a small lovely town halfway between Timaru and Oamaru. And gate to Kurow, Omarama, Twizel! Thank you Ina for your generous hospitality!

Located in the city centre, much cheaper than hotels in the area, easy to access and very private/quiet. Hosts were accommodating for an early check in which was lovely! Would definitely come back and stay again!

Spacious room, quaint decor, charming atmosphere. Quiet and comfortable. Comfortable bed, warm. Bathrobes provided. Heater and fan provided for changing weather conditions. Delicious breakfast cooked by our lovely hostess. Bathroom a little small but great water pressure. Would highly recommend! Close to vineyards, perfect location. Plenty of parking.
