The Barn at Killin B&B

Hugh & Dwayne were super welcoming and helpful. The barn is beautifully decorated and the rooms are exceptionally comfortable. The included breakfast was also a lovely start to each day we spent there. The location itself is gorgeous and has lots of quiet beauty to explore. Hugh was very helpful in providing us with some more info on activities, places to visit and places to eat in the area.

Everything! The fabulous and friendly host absolutely made our stay! The care and attention to the interior of both the common areas and the bedrooms reflects the pride and love that has been put into making such a beautiful setting for their guests. The delicious breakfast in the morning just topped off our lovely experience (Thank for accommodating my annoying dietary requests!). If we’re in the area again, we will, without a doubt, book here again.

The Hosts where amazing the house full of character and charm

Beautiful.. tastefully decorated but also with a comfortable homely feel. Warm, clean and so comfortable. The hosts were fantastic very hospitable, tasty lovely food and made you feel like family.

There isn't anything not to like.. maybe I didn't have enough days there !

We didn’t expect to find such a hidden gem! The photos do not reflect even half of the charm of this amazing house - it is a box with treasures, you can spend the whole evening just exploring them! The rooms are beautifully decorated, each with its own character. The house is in a beautiful place on the lake, which conveniently located near Twizel and on the way to Mt Cook. But putting aside the beauty of the place itself, Hugh and Dwayne will make your stay special as the whole story of this place is really inspiring. Please say yes if you are offered a dinner - you will definitely enjoy great food, wine and wonderful company, and I doubt any Twizel restaurants can offer the same:) We left with the feeling that we made new friends! One of the best places we’ve ever stayed in! Hopefully, we will be able to return some day:)

Außergewöhnlich

Die persönliche, kreative und kulinarische Betreuung der Eigentümer

The flare and personality of the decor. Simply beautiful and absolutely unique. Our favourite stay

Everything. Hugh and Dwayne were delightful hosts in every way. A home away from home with additional glamour. Delicious food and entertaining conversation over dinner and breakfast. If you are lucky to find a vacancy book it !

Everything was great at Killin B&B, from the warm welcome from the hosts, to the size, comfort and view from the room. We were invited to have dinner - slow-cooked lamb and "pavrolla" - which was the best meal we had in NZ. Delicious! Breakfast was equally good too. Views of the mountains over the lakes were very special. Hugh and Dwayne were great hosts, and we can't recommend them enough.

Absolutely nothing

Welcoming and attentive hosts went above and beyond to make our stay special. From the home's stylish decor and stunning surrounding landscape to the delicious home-cooked meals, this is the best B&B we have discovered. A great find and we highly recommend a stay here in this peaceful and scenic location.

Our stay at The Barn was faultless.

Fantastic location, beautiful home, delicious food, and with the best hosts you could ever meet.

Incredible style and decor in a beautiful setting! The best night of our trip. Fantastic hosts and scrumptious food! A must do!!

The Barn at Killin BNB much more than a cozy accommodation - it's a terrific experience! Hugh and Dwayne made an exceptional dinner that could rival any 5 star restaurant. They are both very welcoming and hospitable and invest a lot of time and care into their guests. The breakfast was far beyond continental- eggs bene, fresh fruit and juices, and amazing coffee! The design and decor are well considered and there are several living areas to cozy up and relax by the crackling fire. This is a hidden gem of a place, so don't miss out!

Nothing not to like. A taste of heaven. Beautiful house, wonderful hosts, great food, and a lake to swim in!

The breakfast was sensational as was the view from our bedroom. Hugh and Dwayne are naturals when it comes to hospitality. Informative and chatty we learnt so much and picked up very good advice for our ongoing journey.The comfort and warmth of hospitality made it hard to leave.

Leaving:(

Loved it loved it loved it! Wish we had stayed another night! Delicious food and fabulous company! The decor is unique, mesmerising and special!

The house and decor are absolutely stunning and the breathtaking landscape is visible from every window. Our hosts, Hugh and Dwayne, went above and beyond to make us comfortable, happy and well-fed. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable and the bathroom immaculate.

Superb hosts, beautiful house in a picturesque location.

The attention to detail to make sure you felt welcome and that you were catered to at all times

Our stay at The Barn at Killin was one of our highlights in our NZ trip. The hospitality of Hugh and Dwayne was incredible and we felt just like at home. The breakfast was amazing, the room was very comfortable (with nice views), and the surroundings were incredible.

Lake Ohau is a bit remote, so there aren't any restaurants / services around. Despite that, the hosts inform you of everything and offer you alternatives.

Extremely good hosts, lovely facilities and a fantastic location

Gorgeous property

We had a fun and unique stay at the Barn at Killin! Hugh was a brilliant host who made us feel at home from the get go. The decor and overall vibe of the place is flawless and we loved the theme and views of our Alpine room. Throughout our stay, Hugh and Dwayne put in the effort with the small touches; from offering us a wee dram of whisky, to a lift back to our car in the morning. We'd love to come back again and spend a little longer next time!

For anyone arriving in the night, be warned that the barn is quite hard to find as the Google maps location isn't quite right. Only other tip would be to give Hugh and Dwayne a heads up on dietaries if you have them in advance as the closest town is a good 30 min drive away!

Amazing hosts. Warm atmosphere and great place to stay

The reason I rate 10 is I'm not allowed to rate any higher. Exceptional. We only stayed for one night but it became the best experience of the whole trip. We were the only guests in that night. Mr. Huge greeted us by the mainroad. We did reserve a dinner but I never expected it was so good! I'm missing the wine and food and the lovely conversation in that night already. The breakfast was great too! Even better than some 5-star hotel in my opinion... Still the best part is Mr. Huge's hospitality. Room was perfect. Facilities were great. Location is perfect! Ohau is indeed a remote place, the house is 200 meters outside the village but just perfect in my opinion. 1 minute walk to the lake. The house does have a touching history. All the best wishes to you and the house Mr.Hugh.

couldn't stay longer

Beautifully presented with welcoming hosts and first class chef quality meals. Breathtaking views, warm and cosy with equally as warm conversations. We will be back!
