What travelers are saying
- Pip BSydney, Australia43 contributionsStumbled upon this gem in Queenstown. Really enjoyed looking at the Lonely Dog sketches and paintings and learning how they came to be.
A good rainy day activity. NZ has a lot of thoseWritten November 17, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Simon de CBeechworth, Australia55 contributionsFabulous location on the lake walk Linda was very welcoming. Interesting range of art and artists. Bought a few small but simple pieces. A must for our next trip to QueenstownWritten November 1, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ken D15 contributionsThis gallery had quality items, not the tourist junk that is available everywhere. They feature several excellent artists working in greenstone and wood, including some creative carving I saw no where else during three weeks in NZ. The owner is knowledgeable and fair in his pricing. Don't go here if you can't tell junk from quality work.Written January 24, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Henry SmallQueenstown, New Zealand1 contributionSuch a wonderful experience. The pictures are so unique and I love the variety of locations.

- Gabriel HBellaire, TX7,078 contributionsThese two galleries (one at street level, the second, one floor up) offer a very interesting collection of modern paintings, ceramics, sculptures and multimedia objects. The collection focuses on modern New Zealand artists, and the works range from the attractive to the bizarre. Modern art is a moving target, and these galleries offer a provocative selection of works. In addition to what is on display, there is a much greater selection of works in storage that can be viewed through the gallery's catalogue. We found the attendants helpful and knowledgeable. MIlford galleries are at the end of a short alley, and within a few steps of several other leading art galleries in Queenstown.Written May 23, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- culturevulture94Clinton, WA696 contributionsQueenstown enjoys a terrific setting. The city fathers built the town into the towering hills; moreover, it sits beside a lovely lake surrounded by mountains. So what's not to like? The place reeks with high adventure hype--that's what. So much so that we felt it wasn't even worth overnighting there unless we planned to go bungy jumping or skydiving. Even so, we had fun parking our camper van in a hillock area formed for the "Amon Hen" scene in "Lord of the Rings." This was near Frankton, about 7km away from Queenstown city center.Written January 7, 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Molly C1 contributionMy husband and I adored our time doing through the Tim Wilson gallery and were mesmerised by his beautiful work. We're not usually huge art gurus but you can't help but be awed by these paintings. Rachel was such a lovely host and brought deeper meaning and significance to every piece by sharing the backstories and helping us to recognise and appreciate each detail and technique. It was also very special to be in Tim's very home as we soaked in his beautiful work. We would highly recommend this to anyone, it is not to be missed!Written March 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gabriel HBellaire, TX7,078 contributionsThis is one of the most crowded art galleries I have visited. There was not an inch of free space on the walls and paintings were leaning against each other, 5-6 deep, on the floor. There is no real organization, so you have to go through the entire exhibit to find something you like. There is a broad range of styles and qualities, and the only thing they seem to have in common is that all these pieces were created by local artists.Written May 24, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SeokdoespilatesSingapore, Singapore145 contributionsThe owner was friendly and kindly wrapped my purchases in bubble wrap when she knew I was flying with them. A large variety of quality crystals available and reasonably priced. Worth a visit, I'm sure you'll find something you like.Written December 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- roaming_kiwi58Christchurch, New Zealand2,747 contributionsWe were looking for one particular local artist and had done some googling, so we knew this gallery had some items we wanted to see. The website is informative.
The gallery is rather crowded, which makes it difficult to appreciate some of the works. But the owner is helpful, moving any particular painting around for you to see it in different light.
Good to see all the local works. Yes, we bought a painting, and yes, we will return for another look in this gallery next time we return to Queenstown.Written June 23, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
