Browns Boutique Hotel

The hotel is super conveniently located walking distance to the heart of town, but is also private and serene. The Juliet balconies in every room are charming. Breakfast is good and there are sofas and sitting areas inside and outside where you can read or watch the stars. If you miss out on one of the four parking spots, the pay lot is only a few steps away and it’s free overnight. Also, the hotel is right next to the gondola, which was convenient. We had a great time here.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brown's Boutiqe Hotel in Queensland. From the moment we checked in till the moment we left the Managers, Skye and Angelo, made us feel at home. Facilities were very nice, location was excellent (close to the Gondola and close to downtown and the water), but the best part was the personal attention we received from Skye and Angelo. From homemade breakfast to discussions around the fireplace on the back patio, making reservations for an experience for us, to the Bread-making class Angelo gave us, this was a unique experience. With just 10 rooms this is much more like a cozy B&B than a Hotel. My only suggestions would be that our bathroom needs a little updating; and for those who prefer a cooler environment, I'd say Air Conditioning in the summer months would be valuable. We spoke to Skye and Angelo about both these items, and they are aware and would like to have these addressed in the near future. New Zealand is a long trip for us (coming from Oregon in the USA), but we can say with certainty if we return to New Zealand we will definitely book again at Brown's Boutique Hotel.

I don’t usually write reviews but Skye and Angelo went above and beyond to earn 5 thumbs up. The breakfasts prepared by Angelo were incredible and even included an impromptu bread making demo. Skye took care of a glitch we had with one of our plannned outings and both Angelo and Skye eagerly suggested outings that turned out to be highlights of our stay. The hotel is centrally located on the hilly side of Queenstown with great views and spacious rooms. Their attention to detail is evident throughout including the dining room and adjacent living room which made our stay feel like home.
