This B&B sits on high ground, approximately 5 minute’s drive from the centre of Queenstown and offers spectacular views of the Remarkable Mountains. On arrival, we were met by John who showed us to our room on the ground floor which offered commanding views of the bay and had its own little terrace with table and chairs. Tea/coffee facilities and a small TV helped make the room feel like a home. The ensuite bathroom is sufficiently big with a shower, clean towels and under-floor heating!!
Our hosts provided valuable tourist information and assisted with the booking of trips. We used this to our advantage and John arranged a helicopter trip for us to Mount Cook. Continental breakfast was available at a time of our choosing on each day of our stay and both hosts were very attentive ensuring sufficient supplies of tea/coffee, toast etc.
All in all, it’s a thumbs up to Birchall House. If you’re looking for a decent, spotlessly clean B&B and kind hosts, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
