We were referred to Pencarrow by our travel agent, a New Zealand specialist. Wow! It was so much better than we were even led to believe. The setting is a hillside just out of town along the lake. The views are tremendous. Our room was gorgeous and lacked for nothing. Exceptionally clean, modern and everything we needed and more. The... More

The perfect spot for enjoying all the attractions of the Queenstown region. Bill and Kari are delightful hosts and great sources of information about the area. They have an extensive library of "things to do" and are more than happy to book excursions to Milford Sound, arrange chauffeured wine tours, or book a table at one the areas great restaurants....

We just returned from a 3 night stay with Bill and Kari at Pencarrow. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip. The rooms are all beautiful with drop dead views of The Remarkables and the lake from their unique location high on a hill. We looked forward to Kari's daily baked goods left in our room, along...

Perfect hosts, very helpful and obliging with a call to please above and beyond. Pencarrows is a place we will ALWAYS visit in Queenstown. Best are the little surprises one gets at bed time putting a smile... More

This is my 3rd time staying with Bill and Kari at the spectacular Pencarrow. I'm never disappointed. Their generosity is as large as their hearts. You will always find warmth, friendship and a welcoming open hearth and of course the breakfast that could feed 5,000 even though you are only 2. You can do no better than staying with these... More

Even rave reviews from friends had still not captured the extraordinary experience we revelled in at Pencarrow. Attention to detail on every level of our experience - you feel like your room is a luxury haven just for you, with beautiful pottery, wall hangings and furnishings carefully selected for each room. Our hosts were an exhuberant loving couple who genuinely... More

The best of everything in a hotel is found in Pencarrow. The room we had has a perfect setting-- a beautiful view of the lake with the remarkable Remarkables in the background. We enjoyed the most sumptuous breakfasts (which varied everyday) and genuine hospitality throughout the 4 days we stayed there. We were made to feel most welcomed and nothing... More
