The Turret offers the perfect combination of great people and comfortable rooms, all in an unforgettable setting. I felt the stress melt away as I sat on the patio and took in the tremendous views of Lake Hayes and beautiful gardens. Kim (the owner) is one of the friendliest people I have met while traveling in New Zealand. She was... More

We arrived late and we called kim. She is such a kind person. She was waiting for us and also offered help with our two big luggages. Although we can handle them, but the offer is really warm. The upgraded room is so nice/comfortable and great view of the lake. You can feel the taste from the decoration, the furniture,... More

We loved staying at The Turret. We were in the Turret room which has the most amazing view. We were there in September, so there was snow on all the mountains, yet the trees were in bloom on the property. Kim, was the perfect hostess and an amazing cook. We loved Arrowtown which was close and chose to have dinner... More

What an amazing host Kim was. (Her husband and two lovely girls equally warm and welcoming). We had the blessing of staying at The Turret for 3 nights. Our room (we highly recommend "The Turret" which is the top floor) was huge with a sitting room looking out at the hills and her beautifully landscaped yard complete with roses and... More

We came to NZ for a 3 week honeymoon and spent four of those days at the Turret. We wish we would have stayed longer. It was very good value for money especially compared to some of the other spots we stayed. We stayed in their mid-priced room. It was very clean and comfortable. The Turret has amazing views and...

What can I say, this was a very clean comfortable place to stay with absolutely amazing views. James and Kim were lovely hosts and gave some great recommendations for activities and resaturants. We are not big breakfast people so I contacted them for a no breakfast rate.

Kim and James are the best. They took care of me so well on so many levels that I did not expect. And, they are fun, smart, attentive people. They are also very professional and kind. I will be recommending their B&B to everyone!

This is a very good place to stay! The only downsides are the street in front, even if the house is some strech off the road, no blends in the windows against insects and, as mostly in the south island, less personal contact to the hosts than in the north island. But still good advice on restaurants and sights. The... More

Our stay at the Turret just outside of Queenstown, New Zealand was wonderful. We had traveled a long way from the US and were provided a warm friendly welcome by the owner's James and Kim Lazor upon our arrival. Check in was quick and they were able to answer some of our questions about the area. We had done quite... More

The Turret is in a great location between busy Queenstown and quaint quiet Arrowtown. It is a short drive from the Airport. The best thing is it is walking distance to a local winery. James and Kim are great hosts. Kim's will make you just about anything you want for breakfast but we just had some poached eggs and bacon.... More
