Could not have done this without Monika. She was responsive and helpful every step of the way. One needs to expect a few bumps when doing a trip like this but they were minor and quickly rectified.

Hotel Reviews
The Dairy Private Hotel by Naumi Hotels
Queenstown

Perfectly located and loved the amenities and staff. Only negative was no chair in the room; the only place to sit was on the bed. That said, I would not hesitate to go back.

No better way to hot tub than the view you get at Onsen. Simply jaw dropping.

Don’t truly have a rating for this as weather cancelled the trip and we were told this is not an infrequent occurrence. I am sure it is an excellent experience but I would have a back up plan and it would have been nice to know in advance there was a chance of not getting to go.

This was truly a great day. Our guide, Wayne, was extremely accommodating and his knowledge of the area was impressive.

Without Wayne, the hold have been a nice scenic drive. He made it into one of the best days of our trip with his knowledge of the area and just generally being a great guy. Would highly recommend.
