We stumbled across the website for Browns and thought it looked lovely.......and it really was! We would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to stay somewhere special in Queenstown. It has the high standards of a hotel but with the personality of a huband and wife (Donald and Gillian) team. We found our hosts so welcoming and they went... more

Very welcoming hosts who bent over backwards to make our stay pleasant. The rooms overlook the lake and the town - both within a few minutes walk - despite this we were not troubled by noise at night. Lovely breakfast served with a different hot choice every day. If there was a complaint it would be that the room could... more

We are a family of 4 who had a wonderful time staying at Browns for a week in early July. Gillian and Donald could not have been more helpful and cooked the most wonderful breakfasts every morning. The hotel is spotlessly clean and very well appointed with comfortable beds, a cosy lounge and log fire as well as their lovely... more

We stayed in Queenstown for 3 nights, arrived late around 10pm and a big warm welcome from Donald, helped with bags and loads of info for a good night out. Good breakfasts each morning and they will help you book any tour or trip the night before. Plus free internet on the house PC. Read one report about a leaking... more

We don't give many 5-star reviews and our criteria might be different from others, but this made the grade for us. A warm and welcoming host when we arrived, a clean classic room with a lovely balcony overlooking the courtyard and beyond to the city, beer and wine in the fridge, wireless internet, comfortable public areas, free and convenient parking,... more

Browns Boutique was the accommodation highlight of our entire trip through New Zealand. Everything about the place made for a comfortable and luxurious stay - from the comfy, pillow-filled beds, to the lovely views (with the cutest windows ever), to the delicious made to order breakfast, to the spotlessly clean rooms! But what really makes Browns a standout are the... more

We stayed for 4 nights at the Brown's Boutique Hotel. I would highly recommend it! The rooms and beds were very comfortable, and we had great views of the city. The morning breakfast they served was delicious, and the owners (Jillian and Donald) couldn't be nicer. They gave us great restaurant and shopping recommendations and it was a very short... more

Given the pictures on the website and previous reviews we were somewhat disappointed with Browns boutique. It should not be described as a 'boutque' hotel- as it is just average. more

We enjoyed our stay at Browns in 2005 and made a point of returning there on our second NZ tour in 2008. We weren't disappointed. The rooms are clean, spacious and well furnished with comfortable super king size beds. The ensuite bathroom was excellent. The fridge was stocked with complimentary wine and beer. Most of the rooms overlook a sunny... more
