How Couple-Friendly is Browns Ski Rental?

80%Couple-Friendly
View Map

What makes it 80% Couple-Friendly: Two adults can book a joint boot-fit slot, hire matching high-end gear and get it delivered to their hotel, but the venue is a retail shop, so ambience for romance is limited.

Highly recommended, the staff are all really friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I've been to quite a few ski stores and hire places in Queenstown and Wanaka, and Browns has easily been the best experience I've had so far. I hired skis at Browns Rentals and bought a pair of ski boots through the ski shop and was very happy with the experience at both locations. The staff were all outstanding an...

Had a great experience here renting a snowboard and skis for the family. The staff are really friendly and helpful and took time to fit us properly. We also weren't skiing on consecutive days and were able to store our gear at the shop on the days we had off with made it really convenient, not having to return and then re-rent each time.

We borrowed ski equipment from Browns in September 2025. All staff we dealt with were very friendly and helpful. Special shout out to EJ and Liv. Family of four, great prices. Staff were also great with the kids. Super close to bus stop so we could collect and get straight on the bus. Returns were very straightforward. Highly Recommend!

The whole experience was seamless, stress-free, and made it really easy to travel on the bus to the moun...

Great with our 3 kids, getting them all sorted without any drama; also really helpful helping my wife navigate complexities with her boots (she had to replace hers after one day and Browns staff were super helpful). Finally, and most impressively versus any other ski rental places I've been to anywhere in the world, they were incredibly helpful when we d...
