 "Undoubtedly the best B&Bs in Queenstown, both owned by the same people, in quiet locations; the first a Swiss-style building with grand views, the other a relaxing historic stone getaway." 
 "One of Queenstown's loveliest old private residences – built in 1874 – now houses three very comfortable self-contained apartments." Full review
