Great Hotel to base yourself in Queenstown within a short walking distance to the CBD. This was the best B & B breakfast we had in NZ. We stayed two nights and would gladly stay there again next time! Gillian and Donald were very welcoming was impressed by the greeting on first arrival and knowing who we were when we... More

We recently spent a few nights at Browns and found not only was its location very central but more importantly, Gillian and Donald were very helpful and considerate hosts. Great choice at breakfast time. More

We'd stay here again. Great location (if you don't mind of flight of stairs when you come home for the night). Great breakfast. Clean rooms. Friendly owners. This place was the perfect Queenstown spot, since you are close to everything, but not in the middle of everything. Great views from the rooms too. More

We stayed three nights at Browns as part of our honeymoon in February 2011. We found the hotel to be the most welcoming, homely, clean place and loved the mediterranean look and feel of it.

We (Wife and I ) stayed at Browns for three days over the New Year weekend as part of a trip around New Zealand Whilst the hotel was full of promise it fell down on a number of issues, most of which are symptomatic of it being run as a "Mom and Pop" operation and not delivering value for money...

Donald and Gillian are perfect hosts, full of information but not intrusive in any way. A lovely small hotel in a very quiet part of Queenstown, which in a party town like Queenstown is important. The hotel is beautifully clean and kept and the rooms very spacious. King size beds extremely comfortable. A great breakfast is served with lovely fresh... More
