Shirley and Barry are ever so warm, it was like having parents in Queenstown!!! The B&B is par excellence, with the most spectacular views of the Remarkables and Cecil Peak. We stayed in the Honeymoon Suite and I was really curious to see if the view from the bath tub was actually as good as the pictures. Lets just say that the pictures really did not do justice to how amazing the town looks from above !!!! Barry and Shirley make such a cute couple and we loved chatting with them over breakfast. The breakfast itself was quite a lavish spread (I had a hard time not over eating) overlooking the gorgeous views from huge glass windows. The entire house is filled with little pieces, old artifacts, pictures, whatnots and you could spend hours admiring everything. We were welcomed in our warm room with baked goodies, chocolates and complimentary wine. Even the bath salts in the jacuzzi were perfect for the sore muscles after a day of skiing and bungy jumping.
Overall, I hated leaving Queenstown because Shirley and Barry made it feel like home. We even forgot our laptop because we were so sad to say byes ... Shirley and Barry tried to catch up but finally we ended up going back to say goodbye one more time!! We will definitely visit again ....

Barry & Shirley Meyer are the most kind and wonderful people we've ever met. Their kindness and generosity is fabulous. A great property with stunning views and super comfortable bedroom and bathroom with the beautiful mountain views. We were made to feel like part of the family and played cards into the evening, and the following morning were kindly driven to the airport. Nothing was too much for them. A big hug to bid farewell was like bidding family goodbye and a wonderful experience from people we met the night before. Long live and good health Barry & Shirley!

this was am amazing stay in excellent rooms and a very nice host. Shirley and Barry offer a great hospitality and excellent service; so you feel at home from first second. The rooms offer a spectacular view over the Lake abd the mountains and this landscape-picture changed from morning to dawn.
The lodge is located in a quiet environment and is a good place to relax after typical Queenstown thrilling activities.
We plan to come back and stay longer.

Shirley, our hostess, made my wife and I most welcome when we arrived, having driven from Franz Josef Glacier. The Hikurangi Lodge was high up on the east end of Queenstown, but the views from all its windows were stunning. The bedrooms were very comfortable although not en-suite but the facilities were adjacent, shared by two bedrooms. We could use Shirley's lounge in the evenings when she also enjoyed a chat and gave us guidance on what to do and see.

Shirley's breakfasts were excellent. A variety of options were available and since her husband worked in a fruit farm, her breakfasts incorporated a wide selection of fruit, both cooked and fresh.

In my view, it was the best Bed & Breakfast (or Homestay) which we had during our 6 weeks in New Zealand and that's saying something since they were all up to a very high standard and we didn't have a bad one.
