The Winner...The Old Doctor’s Residence

The Old Doctor’s Residence, located in the historic precinct of Naseby, has been sensitively restored, by the husband and wife team Jan and Grant Bean, into gracious luxurious Bed and Breakfast accommodation. 

These former Aucklanders, who once owned pharmacies on Queen St in Auckland’s CBD, were captivated by Naseby and Central Otago with its extraordinary landscapes, people and tourism opportunities and were motivated enough to invest in the region.  Since opening in 2007, they have steadily increased their occupancy rates and have impressively achieved a four-star plus Qualmark rating and the Enviro Silver award for sustainable practices. 

At The Old Doctor’s Residence guests are treated to a memorable experience of excellence – in service, hospitality and attention to detail, and also in wine and food presentation. To quote a guest “We too have been gathered in, graced with the most sublime of all that is the very best in NZ.  You both so embody what the ancient Maori proverb says - te tangata, te tangata, te tangata.  What is the most important thing?  It is the people, it is the people ……”  

The judges described The Old Doctor’s Residence as a ‘standout’ and were truly impressed by their ‘quality comprehensive package’.  It is all about meeting the needs of the evermore discerning traveller, keen to return time and again to experience all that Central Otago has to offer.
