“This historic bed and breakfast strikes me as a particularly appealing base from which to explore Queenstown. The hosts evidently excel at personalized service, setting it apart from larger hotels. I imagine that the roaring fireplace and home-cooked breakfast contribute to a particularly cozy atmosphere, even before considering the proximity to skiing and other outdoor activities.”
