The Dairy Hotel Queenstown
Maximalist alpine-chic meets Kiwi heritage. Bold plaid carpeting, antique skis as art, eclectic heirloom furniture, and riot-of-colour House of Hackney wallpapers layered against a timber-clad 1920s building. Design-forward and opinionated, but with a laid-back, lived-in warmth.

Why It Matters
First hotel in New Zealand to use House of Hackney wallpapers throughout guest rooms. The building itself is Queenstown's original corner store, dating to the 1920s. Adults-only (12+), complimentary minibar in every room, and nightly happy hour drinks 5-6pm — all included.
Built around Queenstown's original 1920s corner store — a 'dairy' in New Zealand English — this 13-room boutique hotel is Naumi's answer to the town's alpine aesthetic. It's bold, not rustic. Every room is wallpapered floor-to-ceiling in House of Hackney botanicals, the first use of the luxury British interiors brand in New Zealand. The property sits two minutes' walk from the city centre, yet feels genuinely private.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Habitat
The entry-level room, and still properly done. At 24m² it's compact but smartly laid out, with a queen bed dressed in Naumi's signature bedding, mood lighting, complimentary minibar, and the full House of Hackney wallpaper treatment. Shower over bath or walk-in shower depending on the unit. Designed for two.
Queen · 24 sqm
Harmony Suite
The largest room in the hotel at 56m², combining the Junior Suite and Habitat room into a single interconnected retreat. Sleeps up to four. Private balcony with Remarkables views, king bed (twin option), spacious closet, and ensuite bathroom. Not publicly listed for online booking — available by special request via email only.
King (Twin option available) · 56 sqm
Junior Suite
Also 30m² — same footprint as the Oasis but the suite has a private balcony with mountain views, bolder kaleidoscopic patterns, a skylight in the ensuite shower, plus bathrobe and slippers. Can be configured as king or twin singles. The balcony is the real sell — a proper spot for morning coffee with Remarkables views.
King (Twin option available) · 30 sqm
Oasis
At 30m² these are the most popular room type — bigger than Habitat, with king bed (or twin configuration), a chandelier, and the same full wallpaper drama. Views of The Remarkables mountain range. Shower over bath. No balcony, but the mountain outlook through well-placed windows makes up for it.
