About
The Canyons B&B
The Canyons B&B sits on Watties Track above the Shotover River, a short drive from Queenstown’s town centre. The property is a five-star bed and breakfast known for its tranquil setting and sweeping views of the river and surrounding mountains. Guests arrive to a warm welcome and a tour desk for planning local excursions.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Slightly out of town — The B&B is a bit outside Queenstown centre, which suits those after tranquillity but may require a short drive to reach restaurants and shops.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 21:00, which may be tight for guests arriving on late flights or after evening activities.
- No pets allowed — Travellers with pets will need to make alternative arrangements, as the property doesn't accept them.
- No on-site restaurant or bar — Beyond breakfast and a snack bar, there's no full restaurant—guests head into Queenstown for other meals, though the snack bar covers light bites.
