Absolutely amazing!
Best stay of our trip. Lovely couple, lovely homemade breakfast, lovely room! The heated blanket in the bed and heated towel rack were amazing. The helpfulness during marathon week and places to eat and park really made our week in Queenstown a dream. Would definitely return.

This is one of the best properties we have stayed at and we have travelled a lot. It was like a home from home with plenty of space and furnished to the highest of levels. The home cooked breakfasts were magnificent using only the highest quality ingredients and everything was either home made or locally sourced. Dan and Mitzi were fantastic hosts and were a fountain of knowledge about the local area. If you are visiting Queenstown and you want want to experience luxury at an affordable price then this is the place to stay

Not to be missed
Mitzi & Dan are consummate hosts and have left no detail to chance - everything about their place has been thoroughly thought through and is of the highest quality. The opportunity to cook in, cosy up to the wood fire and share some time with them & the other guests really is special. Don’t miss out on the full ‘Pioneer’ breakfast Or Mitzi’s special daily bakes - all delicious.
