The Dairy is beautifully located a short walk from the gondola and from downtown. We were made to feel like welcome guests In a private home and the staff couldn't have been more gracious or more accommodating. We met wonderful people during afternoon tea/wine and enjoyed everything the staff recommended.

The Private Dairy is a true Queenstown treasure. The hotel is ideally located; close enough to walk to town, yet in a peaceful neighborhood. Rooms are well appointed and very comfortable. The owners’ attention to detail is what sets the Dairy apart from other hotels. Imagine walking into The Dairy on a cool evening and finding the lovely common area... More

We have traveled New Zealand now twice for a month each time, and the dairy is the best we have ever stayed. From the minute you walk in the door your feel at home, no reception desk just a sit down in the lounge and a walk around, and to your room, you rarely see any of the team but... More

This small luxury hotel is utterly beautiful and stylish. Matt and Paul are thoughtful, warm hosts. I was travelling with my son and had booked a twin share room but was delighted when we arrived to discover we had two rooms at no extra expense. Breakfast was delicious and the lounge is a lovely place for a glass of wine... More

My wife and I stayed at The Dairy for 3 nights after stumbling across it on the web, and what a terrific find it was.

Our family stayed here for 4 nights. The Dairy is not for young families but our 13 year olds loved it. It is located close to both the Gondola and the town. Breakfasts are fantastic but it was the afternoon teas which worked the magic bringing the small family of guests together to share their days adventures and bond over... More

Great place, great people. The boys organised everything for us, including a heli-tour over to milford sound and the glacier. They got us the best seats in local restaurants and gave great tips for things to see and do. We found ourselves rushing back to the hotel after our adventures to take part in the daily afternoon tea. We'd love... More

This hotel really deserves all of the rave reviews it has received- it really lives up to the reputation. First, breakfast is fantastic. But, the tea service is even more excellent! It was so lovely after a day of activities to come back to the lovely space with a really yummy tea. Paul & Matt do a great job and... More
