    Our only criticism for Janet is she set the bar too high for all our other stays! We had a truly incredible stay here. Location is perfect for the views and staying slightly out of the busy centre while also being able to easily access everything....

    We had the most beautiful stay with Janet who went above and beyond for us! The breakfast was exceptional and the beds were divine! The place is a short drive into queenstown or a 10 mins bus ride! Janet’s place is an absolute gem and thank you...

    Janet was amazingly kind, helpful and lovely! Although the B&B was up a hill, the place was in a good location, an easy taxi boat ride into Queenstown or the buses were on the main road.
