Guest Reviews
- David (9/5): - Super friendly hosts. Beautiful location and home Not keen on the sliding bathroom door

It was my first stay in New Zealand, and I felt incredibly warm and welcomed here. The cozy fireplace is absolutely lovely, the homemade snacks are delicious, and the breakfast is generous and wonderful.
The room is beautifully decorated, extremely clean and tidy. It feels so comfortable and homely, just like staying in my own home. This lovely place healed all my travel tiredness. I would definitely book again if I come back to Queenstown!

- Tammy (10/5): An absolutely beautiful place to stay. Classy and elegant with so much attention to every little detail to make this a r - Just beautiful. Everything was perfect A little further out of town than we were expecting but not too far
- Chris (10/5): Had an amazing stay! - Lovely room, very friendly and welcoming hosts, great location, fantastic breakfast! Nothing.
- 唯 (10/5): Amazing -
- Joshua (10/5): -
- Niclas (10/5): - Fantastiskt värdpar. Hjälpsamma på alla sätt. Unik, historisk miljö med det lilla extra (hönor och marsvin i trädgården). Det märktes att huset var omhändertaget med kärlek.
- Janine (10/5): A delightful B&B! - A delightful B&B just a short stroll from the scenic Shotover Bridge. Warm and cosy, with Mitzi and Dan as wonderful hosts - they’re personable and prepare a lovely breakfast spread. Their attention to detail really stands out, with lots of thoughtful touches throughout the stay. This B&B has set a new benchmark against which I’ll compare all future stays. I only wish I could have stayed longer! Nothing
- Paul (10/5): Fabulous hosts, yummy treats and A1 breakfast - Excellent breakfast
- Stephen (10/5): Great quiet location, natural beauty, fantastic hosts, great breakfast that sets you up for the day. - Great location, quiet. Close to Queenstown but not too close.
Great breakfast.

- Louise (10/5): -
- Linda (10/5): Just perfect in every way! - Dan and Mitzi are definitely super hosts! The attention to detail in every aspect was amazing. Exceptional and very enjoyable.

- Bethann (10/5): The entire stay was beyond my expectations! Would stay there again in a heartbeat! Mitzi and Dan are perfect hosts. T - The property is stunning. Well cared for with attention paid to every detail!
- ELLEN (10/5): Highly recommend , we had a great stay! - Dan and Mitzi were great hosts, they knew when to chitchat and when to let you have space to do your thing. Mitzi made afternoon baked treats both days and kindly gave us a lift to pick up our rental car. Rate also included a great breakfast in the morning. Our room was comfortable and we had access to a lounging space and full kitchen. We were entertained by their silkie chickens and Guinea pigs (and no their rooster did not crow first thing in the morning!). Very Short walk to a bridge overlooking the Shotover river. We didn’t mind but if you are looking to stay in downtown Queensland and the waterfront this isn’t the place for that.

- Jerry (10/5): Exceptional. Our best accommodation in New Zealand. Including high end hotels. - Exceptional stay at The Ferry. Beautiful property. Quality throughout. Hosts really helpful and friendly. Tea and home made brownies on arrival. Lovely lounge area. Breakfast was fantastic. The hosts are obviously great cooks. Looked like something out of a fine dining experience. And tasted just as good. Quality toiletries, lovely thick towels, electric blankets, laundry facilities available. This is a wonderful BnB.
- Glynis (10/5): Perfect location , beautiful room , home , breakfast, Welcoming - Everything Nothing
- Carole (10/5): -
- Dr Mihai (9/5): - Best hosts ever - friendly, happy, knowledgeable and the breakfast...5 stars.
- Lachlan (10/5): It truly feels like a home away from home. Could not rave more as the best place I've ever stayed - My partner and I both loved the coziness of the room and shared areas. We especially loved the well cooked breakfast sat with other travellers, inviting us to share stories of our trip.
Dan and Mitzi were extremely welcoming and made it feels as if we were invited into their own home. If one is after a more intimate and antiquated travel through Queenstown or just looking to be around friendly faces The Ferry could not be more highly recommend.
- 장 (10/5): - 친절하신 사장님, 편안한 숙소, 맛있는 아침식사, 멋진 풍경.
모든 게 완벽했습니다.
살면서 가본 국내, 국외 모든 숙소 중 가장 좋았던 숙소예요.
행복한 추억을 만들어주셔서 감사합니다. 없었어요~
- Andrew (10/5): Lots of atmosphere and relaxed vibes - A peaceful location surrounded by beautiful scenery and great walks along the river. Wonderful home cooked breakfasts and baked treats every day. Very attentive hosts.

- John (9/5): Relaxing and homely. - Lovely friendly atmosphere Nothing

- Alicia (10/5): Most beautiful accommodation in Queenstown with the best breakfast each day! - One of our most favourite stays ever!! Beautifully appointed room, exceptional breakfast each day, home baked treats each afternoon and chocolates on our pillows. So much attention to detail, inside and out, the gardens, the building, the memorabilia, the furniture!! We loved watching the silky chicken and Guinea pigs out our window too. Dan & Mitzi are so welcoming & helpful. We got so many great tips of where to go & what to do.
- Dmitriy (10/5): -
- samantha (10/5): 10/10 would recommend - Clean, comfortable, attention to detail, exceptional service, great location, delicious breakfast, VERY cute animals. Overall wonderful! we can’t wait to go back and we Wish we had more than one night.
- Erixon (10/5): Utmärkt - Väldigt fint rum med stoet badrum, utmärkt frukost och väldigt trevliga ägare.
- Jörg (10/5): Einfach ein toller Aufenthalt - Ein sehr gemütliches B&B. Mit tollem Frühstück. Dan und Mizzy geben noch sehr gute Tipps was man alles unternehmen kann. Immer wieder gern. Nichts
- Praveen (10/5): Amazing. - Our first accommodation in our NZ travels and Dan and Mitizi have truly set the bar very high ! Amazing and attentive hosts who really go above and beyond !
- Jukka (10/5): Erinomainen kokemus! - Kaikesta. Miellyttävä rauhallinen ympäristö. Vanha 1800-luvulla rakennettu talo, josta pidetty hyvää huolta ja joka oli täynnä pieniä koristeellisia yksityiskohtia. Vain 3 huonetta, mikä takasi rauhallisen vierailun. Ystävällinen pariskunta, jonka kanssa oli ilo jutella. Mahtava aamiainen, jonka perheen isäntä loihti toiveidemme mukaan. Lähtiessämme saimme kyydin lentoasemalle. -
- Mukund (10/5): Will go back to Queenstown just to set in their property - Dan & Mitzi
Loved staying in their property!! Home made bread, chocolates and flowers on the bed to home made yogurt!! Nothing is not to be liked
- Esther (10/5): Einzigartiges B&B mit viel Charme - Schlichtweg das unschlagbare Gesamtpaket 😀. Angefangen beim persönlichen Empfang, kurzen Schwatz zwischendurch mit wertvollen Tipps, die einzigartige Unterkunft mit ihrer Geschichte, die Einrichtung ... die vielen netten Kleinigkeiten (Sweets & Co.) & Aufmerksamkeiten - und natürlich das königliche Frühstück mit hochwertigen Zutaten ... Homemade von A-Z 😋 . Danke, danke, danke.
Für uns war die Lage top und bewusst so ausgewählt. Mit ÖV / Auto ist das (doch zuweilen sehr 😉) quirlige Queenstown bestens in ca. 15-20 Minuten erreichbar.
- lili (9/5): - The place is well-maintained, spotless, and immediately gives off a warm, homey atmosphere. The hosts are exceptionally friendly and welcoming—always smiling, helpful, and full of great recommendations for activities and walks in the area. Breakfast was delicious and a perfect start to the day.
I highly recommend this guesthouse to anyone looking for a comfortable, high-quality stay with a personal touch in Queenstown!
- Jessica (10/5): We loved it! - Mitzi and Dan are passionate about the experience they provide. The rooms and living areas are spacious, beautifully renovated, and immaculate. Then - the breakfast - just wonderful! So many thoughtful touches and great travel suggestions from our hosts. We loved our stay. We’d stay again …and again…
- Eleanor (10/5): My favorite place I have ever gotten to stay! I can only hope I find similar BnBs in the future! - The accommodations were beautiful - they have taken such good care of the property and it was all just incredibly nice. The food was so delicious - I loved all of the breakfast options I got. The owners were so kind and friendly and offered fantastic suggestions. There was truly nothing I didn't like about this stay. It was as perfect a stay as I could've possibly imagined. Everything was so thoughtful and well done. I can only hope I get to stay at similar accommodations in the future!
- Orr (10/5): This was a standout accommodation on our month long holiday in South Island. We spent 3 nights here and were spoiled to - We enjoyed the charm and history of the home.
- Daniel (10/5): - Dan and Mitzi made us feel right at home, their home made breakfasts were fantastic and they were able to cater to dietary requirements. Mitzi baked special treats each day that were delicious. Room was very cozy with nice fluffy robes and comfortable beds. Location was lovely and convenient.
- Nikolaj Jespersen (10/5): -
- karolina (9/5): -
- Bianca (10/5): A perfect stay in a perfect location - The cleanest, most beautiful and welcoming B&B we’ve ever stayed in. Incredible hosts and perfect area. Nothing — it’s perfect.
- sayuri (10/5): ファンタスティック‼️ - 温かいもてなしを受けました。
旅行初日で、長いフライト後に疲れていましたが、
そんな中、非常に居心地が良かったです。
インテリアも素敵でした。中庭もかわいいのです。
朝食もメニューを選べて、この料金は本当にお得でした。
またうかがいたいです。 特にないです。
朝、他のゲストの方たちと、ひとつのテーブルを囲んで
談笑しながらの、朝食タイム。
まったく言語ができないと、すこし苦しい時間になるかもしれませんが、ニコニコ笑っていれば大丈夫!
- David (10/5): Amazing property & hosts well situated away from the hustle and bustle with lovely cooked breakfast - Dan & Mitzi are such welcoming hosts in their beautiful old Ferry Hotel that is situated on the Shotover River, about a 15 minute drive to Queenstown and not far from the airport. Lovely, quiet location. Each room is beautifully appointed and guests have access to the lounge. The cooked breakfast was delicious and individually cooked for each guest.
I will definitely recommend their beautiful property.
- Stephane (10/5): Charming and welcoming - A lovely house with blossoming flowers, a real authentic charm.
A very nice and welcoming family. Nothing
- Jonathon (10/5): Cosy and special B&B by the river! - The cutest B&B only 15 mins from centre of QT, beautiful comfy bed, lovely communal spaces and modern bathroom / amenities in the rooms, absolutely incredible hosts and an amazing breakfast. Already want to come back just to stay here again! Everything was perfect.
- Aaron (10/5): A queenstown must stay! - Dan and Mitzi were amazing hosts - super helpful with figuring out things to do, and always more than happy to have a quick chat! The B+B itself is beautiful, and you can't beat the breakfast they provide every morning! N/A

- Mario Luis (10/5): I’ll be back! - Hosts, location, comfort, value and amazing breakfast. Can’t think of anything
- Ullrich (10/5): Cozy, lovely people, awesome breakfast! - The Ferry was a remarkable accommodation. The fireplace was running when we came in late. Our room and the common rooms were very cozy. Dan and Mitzi were incredibly nice and gave good advice for our travels. The breakfast was great and it was really nice to talk with the other guests. The daily treats were lovely and unique. We absolutely loved our stay there! Thank you so much!
- Joe (9/5): -
- Lutz (10/5): Wunderbare charmante historische Unterkunft mit perfekten Gastgebern und Super Frühstück - Wunderbare Gastgeber die ein Kleinod renoviert und typisch englisch ausgestattet haben mit vielen wunderschönen Einzelheiten. Die Zimmer sind wunderbar und gemütlich, der Ofen im Wohnzimmer verbreitet Wärme und die tollen Muffins der Gastgeberin sorgen für Sinnesfreude. Das Frühstück ist perfekt und reichhaltig. Wir haben uns so wohl gefühlt.
- Fabian (10/5): - Dan und Mitzie sind perfekte Gastgeber. Sehr herzlich, hilfsbereit und super freundlich. The Ferry Bed & Breakfast ist sehr schön, liegt ruhig und man fühlt sich sehr wohl. Unser Zimmer war super schön und das Bett sehr bequem. Alles war auch sehr sauber. Jeden Tag gab es frischen Kuchen, was uns gefreut hat. Auch das Frühstück war wirklich fantastisch. Super ist auch, dass man die Waschmaschine und den Trockner mitbenutzen darf. Auch werden jeden Tag das Bett und das Zimmer sauber gemacht sowie alle Handtücher gewechselt. Anlässlich unserer Flitterwochen haben wir eine Flasche Sekt geschenkt bekommen, was uns auch sehr gefreut hat.
Wenn man mehr als 10 Punkte vergeben könnte, würden wir mindestens 15 Punkte vergeben! -
- Bryan (10/5): Excellent and pleasant stay! - Nice cozy atmosphere where we felt we were home.
- healthyself (10/5): A perfect stay in a warm historic place. - Everything was great. Perfect hosts. Fantastic breakfasts. Loved the wood fireplace with fire every evening. Everything was good.
- Jem (10/5): Cute b&b - Clean, warm, comfortable and lovely hosts. Super comfy bed! Beautiful decor
- ishwari (10/5): Thank you so much Dan and Mitzi for your fantastic hospitality and delicious yummy breakfast. The host family is very he - It’s very clean property, amazing and very helpful host family.
- Markus (10/5): - Really an extraordinary great experience.
Our host was so friendly and welcoming and served delicious breakfasts. We are really thankful that we we got the opportunity to wash our clothes. The accomodation itself was so beautiful and cozy, we really would have wanted to stay longer. We hope to come back soon.
- Park (9/5): - This was the best Airbnb experience we’ve ever had in Queenstown! The host was incredibly kind and thoughtful. Knowing we had to leave early for Milford Sound, they prepared a delicious packed breakfast for us. After our trips, we always returned to a warm room thanks to the heating being turned on in advance. Most impressive were the homemade breakfasts.
This stay made our trip unforgettable, and we’d love to come back again. Highly recommended! No
- Chanthru (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rosaleen (10/5): Lovely homely B&B. Highly recommend - The friendliness of the owners
The beautiful home made breakfasts in the morning and treat in afternoon
The location , quiet and perfect for walking biking exploring
Comfortable bed and perfect facilities ie use of kitchen launsry and sitting room
Good wifi Without a car buses are nearby but may operate hourly at certain times so check the timetable
Otherwise no dislikes
- James (10/5): Hands down one of the very best B&B's! - The Ferry B&B is outstanding! Dan and Mitzi are fantastic hosts who make you very welcome and have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. The property has character, has been immaculately renovated, very clean and comfortable. Amazing cooked breakfast and baked treats. We would love to stay again!
- Lester (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brett (10/5): Outstanding and as good as any 5 star hotel we stayed in NZ - Great Breakfast, Great value for money, with excellent quiet location. One of the best accomodation places we stayed in NZ, so don't hesitate to book it, in fact was far better than many other 5 star hotels we stayed in while in NZ for 1 month, so book early. Dan and Mitzi go above and beyond to look after you to make you feel at home. Additional benefit of washer and dryer with chef style gourmet kitchen you can use doing your stay. Would stay here at least 3 days as this is a better base than Queenstown, if you have a vehicle. No issues
- Venusha (10/5): The best B&B in New Zealand! - What a beautiful place! We are so grateful we booked the Ferry for our 3 days in Queenstown. The location is idyllic and away from the bustle of central Queenstown. Dan & Mitzi take such good care of their guests and are great for a chat! We loved the little gestures left in your room + afternoon tea treats + the delicious freshly-cooked breakfasts (which uses local ingredients and even eggs from their own chickens). The rooms are pristine and cosy! We loved everything about the Ferry.
- Adam (10/5): Exceptional - Everything about The Ferry was spectacular
- Aleksandar (10/5): - Due to missunderstanding we were unable to stay but the owners handled it very professionally and refunded fully. Highly recommending.
- Alexandra (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rowena (10/5): Perfect base for Queenstown short stay - A perfect base to explore Queenstown and the surrounding towns. A delicious and substantial breakfast sets you up for the day of exploring. Returning at the end of a long day, the log fire is burning and home made sweet treat await.
Mitzi’s cooking is amazing and Dan’s advice about where to go and what to see is customised according to the weather and your individualised interests.
This beautifully restored old home is located very close to supermarkets, the airport, and all that Queenstown has to offer, yet it has a peaceful rural setting fronting the river with views of The Remarkables and Coronet Peak.
Highly recommended The Ferry to either a couples and would be perfect for a group of six as you have full access to kitchen and living area.
- Elisa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Timothy (10/5): Exceptional - Our room was comfortable and the hosts were great. They made helpful suggestions for both things to do and places to eat. Breakfast was homemade with multiple options to choose from. We were a week into our trip and being able to do laundry while we were there was greatly appreciated. If we are ever back in Queenstown, we would stay at The Ferry B & B again.
Tim
- Pera (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julie (10/5): Excellent stay all round - Excellent stop on our trip around the South Island.
Cosy stop everything you need .. fire , homemade treats wonderful breakfast .. friendly hosts .
Loved the whole stay
- Selina (10/5): Wow a 10 out of 10 what a gem of a place to stay. - The owners are friendly and run a great business with pride and attention to detail. Very clean. Great breakfast offered. Nothing
- Tony (10/5): Very clean and welcoming b&b, highly recommended to anyone staying in Queenstown - Everything Nothjng
- Mary-margaret (10/5): Lovely b&b with all the amenities! Personal service and lovely stay! - This lovely bed and breakfast was a highlight in our trip to New Zealand. The hosts were lovely and thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable. Highly recommend!
- Cormac (10/5): The Best B&B in the World - Having travelled to all four corners of the earth and beyond, I can confidently say that The Ferry B&B is in a league of its own. From the moment we arrived, we were treated to an experience that surpasses even the finest hotels. In my opinion, this is not just the best in Queenstown. It is the best in the world.
The five star touches were everywhere. Daily surprises like chocolates on the bed and an extra special treat for our honeymoon made our stay even more memorable. The breakfast was outstanding and the takeaway breakfast on our last morning was the best I have ever received from any B&B or even a luxury hotel. The breakfast bap was exceptional and actually deserves a place on the daily menu!
What truly sets The Ferry apart is the unparalleled hospitality of Dan and Mitzi. They are warm, engaging and exceptionally well travelled, making every conversation a pleasure. Trying to guess which of them is the mastermind in the kitchen is part of the fun. I am convinced that Mitzi is the magic behind the baking while Dan is the professional witty front of house host. I could be wrong!!
Speaking of food, the daily homemade treats in the kitchen were incredible. Freshly baked cheese scones, raspberry cakes, protein balls. All available in the beautifully finished communal kitchen, living room and dining area. It truly felt like a home away from home.
Dan, an absolute fountain of local knowledge, provided brilliant insider tips for making the most of Queenstown. He recommended the breathtaking back road route into Queenstown which was a game changer for avoiding traffic while soaking in the stunning landscapes. His advice on hikes and local walks meant we had plenty of options to explore the natural beauty of the area. He pointed us to the best viewpoints and places of interest, ensuring we experienced the most spectacular scenery New Zealand has to offer.
- Jenny (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing comfortable and beautiful bed and breakfast about 15 minutes drive from Queenstown centre and 10 minutes from airport. Walking trails start at the door.
