Browns Boutique Hotel

We stayed at Brown's Boutique Hotel on 3 separate occasions during our time in Queenstown and couldn't have been happier with Angelo, Sky, and their gorgeous and friendly cat, Tiramisu. They were gracious hosts that made you feel like family and often had a fire going on the terrace in the evening. Moreover, they had terrific recommendations (The Boat Shed, Arrowtown) and Angelo's baked goods at breakfast were a treat that we looked forward to every morning. Brown's is super convenient to everything in Queenstown and our hosts were incredibly accommodating, holding baggage for us during extended trips to Fiordland and Stewart Island. Thank you for a memorable vacation! - B&L

Location was perfect and just a couple minutes walk into town and to restaurants. We had just flown in and we loved the ability to walk to everything. Our room was lovely and very comfortable. Breakfast was great. Everyone was so friendly and nice, it just made the start of our trip perfect. Thanks and will definitely be back.

My husband and I recently stayed at Brown’s Boutique Hotel and we were very happy with our choice. If looking for a true boutique kiwi hotel experience, in a family friendly environment and great access to town, then Brown’s is a terrific choice. Kyle and Jill (the managers) made it super easy for us…everything from storing our luggage while tramping, allowing us to park our car for free in their lot while gone (no small matter) and providing a lovely breakfast with world class daily made yogurt. They even graciously stored our excess luggage while we were off adventuring. They were easy going and helpful hosts, provided charming and clean accommodations, great breakfasts, and good advice on things to do in Queenstown. We look forward to a return trip someday and would easily come here again. It’s the local hotel we will recommend to our friends.

Perfect location When staying in Queenstown. At first you think it is not, but it shows to be Very close to everything. Very nice spacious room and bathroom as well. A small balcony which my husband enjoyed sitting at. Great views towards city and mountains. BUT this is certainly not a hotel! You do not get serviced every day ( not an option) which was a surprise…..so we had glasses and used coffecups left for yet another day….had to get milk myself as this was not put in the fridge on the second day. When I asked about the lack of check up, the owner said he was Sorry he had forgotten to mention it, but it was due to lack of staff. Only 10 rooms at this place so sounds like a petty excuse, to me. Cannot buy anything. No water, wine, chips, and the breakfast was only Continental, Could not buy any hot meals. And futhermore, all guests were seated at two large tables…..this is not something we appreciate. Would I recommend a stay here? Yes!! But they should Call it What it Actually is; a B&B

We booked the "honeymoon package" for a 3 night stay and were thrilled with the hotel. We met the owner at check-in who showed us to our room which had a nice balcony/view of town. We enjoyed the bottle of bubbly at check-in as well as the airport transfers which were seamless. The massage included in the package was a major highlight as neither of us had experienced a true Japanese massage before. The hotel itself is very conveniently located just a 5 minute walk from town, but removed from the loud bars/clubs which bump into the early morning hours. The manager convinced us to book the TSS Earnslaw dinner (and actually booked it for us/charged to our room) and that was a major highlight of our trip. I was surprised to read some of the negative reviews as our stay was near perfect.
