    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.

    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 issues

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    The Ferry was easily the best B&B we have ever stayed in. We felt so welcomed by Mitzi and Dan, who went above and beyond during our stay. The Ferry itself is a lovely building with loads of history within the area. The room was comfortable and spotless. The breakfast was utterly delicious. We would highly recommend staying here on your visit to Queenstown.

    Nothing everything was perfect.

    The beautiful decor and all the attention to detail. The room was spotlessly clean the roses and chocolates a nice touch. The shared areas were superb and there were laundry facilities and a fridge available to use. The treat of the day cakes were just delicious! The breakfast in the mornings were made to order, super fresh and plenty of it. Such a big choice to choose from and we really enjoyed eating breakfast with the other guests sharing funny stories. The location is also very close by car to Queenstown. Making it a good place to stay if you want to stay somewhere a little quieter away from the hustle and bustle of town.
