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

What amazing property. Dan & Mitzi Were amazing hosts Everything about our stay far exceeded our expectations. The rooms are beautifully decorated, the beds very comfortable and the towels were so soft and fluffy the bathrooms are very well designed and elegant. Breakfast was amazing and the guinea pigs and chicks were adorable. The location was perfect, so quiet.

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.

In a word: special
The Old Ferry is a true gem. From the historic building and gorgeous setting by a river to the sumptuous breakfast, Mitzi and Dan provided one of the best B & B experiences we have ever had. There are so many wonderful special touches like homemade treats for the guests each evening, oversized fluffy towels and robes, and the genuine warmth and local information provided by our hosts that set the Old Ferry apart. Would recommend this lovely place most highly.

Best Hotel B&B in New Zealand
If you are visiting Queenstown, this charming gem of a place is perfect for exploring locally and visiting Queenstown itself. Why stay in the busy noise of a town when you can relax in this lovelingly restored old ferry house. Dan and Mitzi are so accommodating and helpful and although not huge, each bedroom has been thoughtfully designed, with beautiful features, antique furniture and although some reproduction it has kept its old worldly charm whilst still giving a luxury experience, with home made cookies, fluffy towels and bathrobes.. WIth a hearty breakfast made to order your are set up for the day. Only wish we could have stayed longer!

Dan and Mitzi were wonderful hosts and the house and rooms are just uniquely charming and convenient. Being able to use the guest kitchen and laundry was a big plus and the breakfasts Mitzi and Dan dishes up were just amazing. The only downside is maybe that the room wasn’t big and had no wardrobe either but given I was a solo traveller and would have preferred to live out of my suitcase anyway, I didn’t mind it at all.

Parel net buiten druk Queenstown
Mitzi en Dan hebben de formule van een echte Engelse B&B toegepast op een rustig, van de weg gelegen, historisch NZ gebouw met een eigen verhaal. Een zeer goed ontbijt, zelfs deels à la carte, doen je de dag prima starten na een heerlijke nachtrust in een mooie kamer. De gastvrouw en heer staan je bij met goede tips en tricks voor zowel activiteiten als eetgelegenheden voor ‘s avonds. Dineren kan buitenshuis, maar er staat een hele keuken ter beschikking om zelf eten te maken. Wasmachine en droogkast gratis te gebruiken. Super hoe zij aan alles denken. Als het wat kil wordt, doen ze het gezellige haardvuur in de woonkamer aan. Echt fantastisch verblijf en vriendelijke eigenaars.
