下公交後走是在山裡,居然還走了一公里,穿過綠樹成蔭的小道,跨過流水潺潺上的小橋,環境已經把我的期待拉到最低。房主是一對老夫婦,屋子裡十分乾淨,床上會放着香檳玫瑰,房間裏的陳設雖然陳舊但是十分乾淨,早餐是老夫婦親手做的,袋子上會有寫着祝福語,感覺就像住在老朋友家而不是酒店。

The Ferry BNB hosts, Mitzi and Dan, are wonderful. Every possible detail has been thought out and implemented by these seasoned professionals. The property is so comfortable and cozy you just want to linger. Mitzi makes wonderful cook-to-order breakfasts with daily home made bread and an array of cereals, juices, home made yoghurt and compote and juices, Dan was quick to offer practical advise on parking, restaurants and traffic navigation. The location is in a calm peaceful area just a short drive from town. We've stayed at many BNBs throughout the world, and the historic Ferry Inn is world class. Highly recommended!

Great place to stay. Beautiful location on the edge of Queenstown, near Shotover Bridge. You can walk out the front door for a ramble over the historic bridge and then up into the forest. Very comfortable house, with a lovely kitchen for the use of guests, should you wish to take a break from restaurants on your travels. Excellent cooked breakfast, with plenty of choice. Laundry facilities should you need them. Mitzi and Dan are very hospitable folks, and only too happy to put their local knowledge at your disposal. They keep silkies, ducks and Guinea pigs in the back garden, which are the source of much amusement, and the front garden is a riot of lovely roses. We were there two nights, and would happily have spent more. Excellent hospitality!

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.
