This B&B was a surprise discovery during my travels! From its charming exterior to its cozy rooms, everything is a delight. The warm hospitality of the B&B owner made me feel at home, and most impressively, the B&B is in a great location with many attractions within walking distance. Next time I visit the area, I will definitely stay at this lovely B&B again!

Just some spider webs on the top of the bed inside the bungalow, I think it’s inside jungle but feel like could be cleanable.

the place is really nice and has an amazing view

Perfect location, nice view😊 We met owners the next morning and they were super nice and super friendly, even the communication online was excelent. Room was nice but there was a little cold (luckily we had heated mattress😊

Feels like staying with a family. Who have the best views of the mountains! We enjoyed some of the delicious farm foods from their farm in the North Island too. Thanks for a beautiful stay:)

The house is beautiful, the room was so cozy and comfortable and warm. Kaari made me feel like home. The kitchen has everything you need to cook with a great coffee machine:) Even though it’s not in the city center there’s a bus stop 2 min walk from the house abd it’s a beautiful 7 min trip to the town center. It is a truly magical place.

Karri is such a lovely person and host. She was so helpful. The morning yoga and breakfast was great! We even did a cold plunge into the lake all together after yoga! The rooms and facilities are clean, super warm and homey. We loved our stay here!!

The cool chill vibe, being treated like part of the family, and all the native birds in the garden.

Wifi from the Bungalow room was very slow.

Extremely comfortable bed, very clean and the electric blanket and heater were nice.

Stayed in April 2024

Wifi doesn't really work in the rooms, would have been great if it did! Also the milk in the fridge was expired the whole stay 😅 But the dry cereal was still good!

Great location, very quiet and beautiful scenery. Really nice small touches, and breakfast pretty good! Very much appreciated the electric blanket provided 🥰

Excellent facilities, decorations and cleanliness and friendly owners

Wifi didn´t reach the cabin very well, but not really a problem. It helps you to disconnect from everything.

Amazing place to stay, peaceful, relaxing and comfortable. The owners are very welcoming and you feel like home. The view from the lounge and the kitchen is the best, you can watch the sunrise over the lake and mountains while having breakfast.

I had a few fantastic days at Ora Retreat. Like I was at home but even better. The relaxing yoga in the morning, the dip in the ice-cold lake nearby, the pleasant drinking of tea and talking with Cary and the other guests. It was very relaxed and personal. My stay at Ora Retreat will be a lasting memory.

Great location, views superb and bus stop so close and convenient, wasn't a worry at all being a little bit out of town. Greenery outside my windows just as shown in the pictures. Lovely bird songs!

Really nice spot on a nice location just outside the city Centre.

Nothing, except being a very light sleeper, my cabin was next to a road, but it was a minor road and problem 😊

Nice selection of breakfast food and the bonus was a coffee machine with fresh beans. The location was amazing, plus the morning yoga with Kaari and dip in the lake. There was also a walking track, very nearby, with amazing views.

What a beautiful place! Kaari was a wonderful host. Friendly and accommodating. The sunrise and sunset lake view are awesome! The garden design and decorations make the house so unique.

A long way to bathroom.

Nice atmosphere, quiet, breakfast provided , including fruit, electric blanket on as I arrived. Staff lit fire in living room at night time, great views

Parking can be a touch tricky; there is plenty available, just not necessarily out the front.

We had the ensuite room which was spacious and spotless with a great view. Bed was very comfortable with crisp sheets. Common areas are shared, and breakfast is communal. Well hosted. Ideal location in terms of being out of busy Queenstown. Location is a suburban area with a fabulous expansive view.

Ora Retreat is such a special place ✨. Warm, welcoming, relaxing, peaceful. The view of Lake Whakatipu is gorgeous at all times of the day, but especially at sunrise and sunset. This place attracts the most lovely people and it was such a joy to connect with other guests. The owners, Kaari and Paul, made me feel so welcome, as if I was part of the family. I highly recommend it to any travellers, and particularly to those who appreciate a bit of peace and quiet during their trip. I can’t wait to be back again!

It was very laid back and relaxing. Very helpful owner who gave us lifts to bus trips.

Not a thing.

What a wonderful place. Away for the hustle and bustle of the center of Queenstown. Kaari and Sage were wonderful and as Kaari says, nothing is impossible. So kind and giving with their time and advice. I instantly felt at home which is not that easy for me. The views from the decking were amazing and calming. I'll be back here in 2027 and it can't come quick enough. I will miss this little piece of heaven.
