We spent two nights at this lovely b&b staying in the turret suite which was spotless and beautifully appointed. We had a large bedroom with sleigh bed, a sitting room with panoramic views over Lake Hayes and Coronet Peak, a large bathroom and walk in wardrobe. We also had a small balcony. The breakfasts were delicious and nicely served. Our... More

This was the best place we stayed!!! We were on a 3 week Holiday in New Zealand and stayed at over 6 different places in New Zealand. The Turret was by far the best for the view, price, cleanliness and hospitality. It is a beautiful house opposite a great hike around Lake Hayes. We also walked to the winery down... More

The Turret is one of the most beautiful B&Bs we have ever stayed in and is right across from the beautiful Lake Hayes. We stayed in the larger, 2 room, Turret room and it has the most amazing view from the living room; even the bathroom was palatial!

Words aren't adequate to describe the Turret. It's basically an elegant English Country Manor overlooking Lake Hayne. We stayed in the Turret Room. You MUST stay at this inn. This is the first place in NZ where we actually bought a bottle of wine (from the winery down the street, Amisfield) and simply watched the view of Lake Hayne and... More

The Turret offers the perfect combination of great people and comfortable rooms, all in an unforgettable setting. I felt the stress melt away as I sat on the patio and took in the tremendous views of Lake Hayes and beautiful gardens. Kim (the owner) is one of the friendliest people I have met while traveling in New Zealand. She was... More

We arrived late and we called kim. She is such a kind person. She was waiting for us and also offered help with our two big luggages. Although we can handle them, but the offer is really warm. The upgraded room is so nice/comfortable and great view of the lake. You can feel the taste from the decoration, the furniture,... More

We loved staying at The Turret. We were in the Turret room which has the most amazing view. We were there in September, so there was snow on all the mountains, yet the trees were in bloom on the property. Kim, was the perfect hostess and an amazing cook. We loved Arrowtown which was close and chose to have dinner... More
