    The property is located in a quiet part of town, perfect for people who want to be close to the action, but like a quiet evening. The breakfast was amazing, the view like a picture book and the nicest hosts I’ve ever had on any journey!

We are a small family run B&B, situated in an elevated position, with uninterrupted pristine views. This property'saccess is by steps both external and internal. We have been professionally hosting now for over 30 years, It is truly a heart felt passion, to host and serve you well. The B&B offers a range of options, We are situated 100m stroll down a private lane,( for those who would prefer not to reverse their vehicle) with a designated on site vehicle park for you. You will need to be able to back with a reversing camera, or side mirror, due to the gradient of the drive, and no turn around,24 hour free on street parking on Marina Drive.

This property is best suitable for those with transport, however Queenstown has great taxi service, you can also take public transport every 15 mins, a 10 min walk to the bottom of a steep hill. Check in is from 3 pm to 7. As I am a team of one, out side of these times is by prior arrangement. We look forward to hosting you.
