Pisa House Lakefront Boutique B&B

The substantial breakfast each morning was outstanding. We also had a generous snack basket in our room. The room was warm and well thought out. Also, the shower was exceptionally good.

Nothing!

Great location, very comfortable, Fred and Sam were loverly hosts and outstanding varied breakfast provided each day.

My wife and I enjoyed an ideal week-long stay in this lovely B&B in Central Otago, located between bustling Queenstown and laid-back Wānaka on New Zealand’s South Island. The owners, Sam and Fred, are fantastic hosts. The property is extremely well-kept, fresh, and attention is paid to every detail (comfortable bed, lovely sheets, wonderful bathroom, arrival note, welcome basket, nice appointments and enough storage. We enjoyed walking along the lake mornings and evenings, just off the rear of the property. The breakfasts - made truly B&B style - are amazing, with Sam crafting her offerings around the region’s high-quality fruits and produce whenever possible. We give this property our highest recommendation. Regarding the location: Mount Pisa is located in the heart of the wine producing area of Central Otago with many wineries surrounding Lake Dunstan and along the Gibbston Gorge. It’s a fine central location for short-hop travel to hiking, kayaking, fishing, wine tasting and distillery tours and even skiing (Cardrona Ski Field) in the winter. But, yes, a car is definitely necessary. The location is about 50 minutes east of Queenstown and 35 minutes west of Wānaka, so figure in the extra time when planning your evening meals. Cromwell, near this location, has some pubs and restaurants (Brannockburn Hotel a recommendation), but the exciting options are farther removed. Central Otago is a beautiful landscape with stunning mountains, lakes, streams and sunsets. The activities available near Wānaka alone could keep you busy for two weeks. We really appreciating staying at this property which made all of it so easily accessible.

Lovely room, beautiful location with lakeside walk. Wonderful hosts.

Couldn't stay longer!

Everything that you could possibly want and more. Room was exceptional, breakfast amazing, and Fred and Sam were perfect hosts. An ideal location for exploring the local area and and further if desired

Nothing could be faulted

Everything was outstanding. The comfortable bed and presentation, to the amazing delicious breakfast, to the sincere and lovely hosts.

Nothing.

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.

Nothing.

Breakfast is awesome, much better than cafe. Room is clean and tidy. Huge shower room. If you have a car, this place is the best around this area. Having a breakfast talking with Samantha and Fred was great time for us. Thank you!
