The hotel was wonderful. Located very close to the bus stop, cafes, restaurants and shops. It was very clean and spacious. The complimentary snacks and soft drinks as well as complimentary happy hour was a lovely addition. We felt very comfortable and welcome. We also enjoyed the hot tub with a beautiful view.

The Dairy Private Hotel was our favourite accommodation of our whole south island trip. The staff were the most helpful, gave us a tour of all the amenities upon arrival, made sure we were well looked after and even gifted us a treat for our honeymoon! They do a happy hour 5-6pm each day and put out snacks and wine for the guests to enjoy in the lounge. Breakfast was simple and of excellent quality. The art deco theme of the hotel made us love returning to it after a day of sightseeing. The only con is the parking situation - there's not a lot of it at the hotel and it costs extra. However, they do have extra spots in the multi level carpark on Man St that we were able to use for the same cost.

Lovely small boutique hotel

Lovely small boutique hotel, continental breakfast was great, staff were helpful and friendly. Room was nice, included snacks and drinks were welcome. Hot tub with fab mountain view. We recommend you stay here, if you arrive by car make sure you book a space directly with the hotel as parking in area is more tricky (although the is a public car park nearby)

Lovely hotel and highly recommend. Hot tub was fantastic and loved all the lovely attention to detail. We kind of missed happy hour as we didn’t know about it but got the last ten mins and looked fab. Think there was complimentary hams and cheeses etc which would have been a yummy treat. Great hotel, right in the heart of Queenstown. We didn’t realise you need to let them know ahead of booking if you need a parking space but wasn’t an issue for us. It does cost an additional $20, not a negative but just something to be aware of.

Nice but pricey

This is a tricky review to write, because we did enjoy the endearing hosts at the hotel and the quirky decor, happy hour, snacks and fridge in the room, and perfect location of the property. However, we have stayed in many 5-star hotels and this is one of the most expensive. At these prices, one expects amenities above and beyond. For example, there were no bathrobes or luxury amenties in the room, no turn-down services, makeup mirror, no concierge to help with bookings and local advice, etc. Many of the things you come to expect at this price point were simply lacking. We did have a lovely stay nonetheless--just be prepared for the price and enjoy.

I was at The Dairy twice. 3 nights before my Routeburn Track and 2 nights after. It's one of the loveliest places I have stayed at. Excellent staff, comfortable bed, 24 hour access to tea, coffee and snacks, as part of stay. A happy hour between 5 and 6 p.m. and decor that is subtle, yet warm. A 2 minute walk down to the heart of Queenstown. - super convenient to everything. I highly recommend The Dairy.

I am definitely heading back there in winter. Hotel has amazing fireplace and can't wait to chill, read a book with a glass of wine. Oh and FYI, first review ever, thats how much I loved this place.
