This historical building run by Dan and Mitzi is an absolute treasure. Not only for its history, which is evident all around the walls but for the hosts. There are only three rooms, which provide every comfort but as soon as you walk in through the door, you feel as you've known your hosts for years. Breakfast is provided but there is a super well equipped kitchen where you can produce your own dinner - clean up after !. We did and shared it with one of the other guests. It's that kind of a place. Dan came to our aid with arrangements on a number of occasions - it's this kind of personal service that makes the Ferry what it is. If you want the buzz of heavily touristic Queenstown then the Ferry is outside Queenstown, overlooking the Shotover River and the famous bridge. With the traffic, which is considerable, allow 30 mins, especially coming back although it's not actually far. We were genuinely sorry to have to leave.

My husband and I celebrated our 50th anniversary in NZ and booked 5 nights at this lovely home with the most incredible views imaginable. Dan and Mitzi were so kind, pleasant and helpful in making the end of our 3 week adventures in NZ complete and soul enriching. We stayed in the heritage room and I strongly recommend this room because you are so comfortable and you are rewarded with a ridiculously adorable view of the chickens, ducks, guinea pigs and various birds in the area who are incredibly entertaining and the happiest creatures in a beautiful environment made just for them. The breakfast was a feast of goodness with homemade yogurt, jams, breads, etc. and made to order selections. The historic photos, local antiques and uniqueness of the historic building added to the remarkable experience. I cannot thank Dan enough for his guidance in making the best choices of incredible experiences for each day we were fortunately able to drive around the Queenstown area. A 5 star location in every way because you really do feel you are relaxing at home in the most amazing place with such warm and inviting hosts.

The Ferry was one of the loveliest B&B's that we have ever stayed in. Our hosts Dan and Mitzi were fantastic. They made us so welcome and provided us with tips regarding things to do and see nearby. As my wife is gluten intolerant, Mitzi provided gluten free treats each evening. The building and decor is so lovely and quaint. There was a big stove burning in the living room and plenty of space to relax and chat other guests after a busy day. The breakfast was really delicious and perfectly cooked. Dan and Mitzi make a great team, working diligently together. The location is great but you do need a car. Thank you for a lovely stay, Folks. Hopefully we'll get a chance to visit New Zealand again and if so, The Ferry will definitely be on our accommodation list.

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.

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.

Stunning B&B 20 minutes from Queenstown! The Ferry B&B looks fantastic, it’s an historic building and the renovations and decorations have been done to honour that, it all looks amazing. Dan and Mitzi are very welcoming hosts and are always happy to help with any questions you might have. Breakfast is great as well and lots of options to choose from. Living room and a big kitchen is shared with other guests and you have your own spacious bedroom and super nice bathroom. I would definitely recommend this B&B to everyone, thanks again Dan&Mitzi!
