We had a whistle stop tour of New Zealand's south island before Christmas 2011, camping for all of the trip except one night when we pooled our money to stay at the Dairy Luxury Private Hotel. It was well worth it! The other reviews have described the home from home feeling very well and it is true. From the minute... More

We recently spent 4 nights at The Dairy, and absolutely love it. Matt and Paul made us feel very welcome during our stay, they were both very helpful and informative in everything that we asked of them. On our arrival they had a bottle of Pinot Noir and chocolates waiting for us, plus they bed and pillows are the most... More

Our two night stay at the Dairy Private Luxury Hotel was the perfect ending to a wonderful time spent on the south island of New Zealand My wife and I knew we were going to like this place as soon as we walked in and saw a giant jar of jelly beans with a scoop sitting on a table beside... More

From the moment we entered the Dairy we felt at home. The warmth in the atmosphere is only topped by the amazing genuine hospitality extended by Paul & Matt... They anticipated everything we could need from restaurants, tours, to art. My only regret is that the Dairy is so far away from San Francisco - else we would be regular... More

We recently spend 3 nights at The Dairy and fell in love with it, and with Queenstown – we wish we could have stayed longer. The hotel is small and intimate – very much a home from home (if you are lucky enough to have such a beautiful home). Paul & Matt made us feel very welcome and spoilt us... More

We based ourselves in Queenstown for several days in January. After a scrumptious breakfast each morning, Matt and Paul provided a welcoming place for us to come back to each afternoon, where we would immediately be served home-made afternoon tea. Lovely! Then a couple of hours later, it was time to have a glass of wine from their generous selection... More

My son and I stayed at The Dairy for four nights earlier this month. I agree with others that the location is perfect, but even more importantly, Paul and Matt couldn't have made us feel more welcome or comfortable. They constantly went above and beyond to help us with restuarant reservations and cheerfully made us breakfast two mornings when we... More

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at The Dairy twice during our 11 day tour of New Zealand's South Island. The hotel is exceptionally well located to explore the summit via cable car, or the downtown area, which is within a block or so of the hotel. The rooms are very nice, exceptionally well cleaned and maintained... More

I had the pleasure of staying at The Dairy for 10 days throughout the Queenstown Winterfestival period in 2011 - I felt like I had not left home - although my new home now had exquisite rooms, which I might add were immaculately cleaned everyday, a dining room with such amazing views of the peaks that you did not want...
