About Us

Where tradition lives: Welcome to the Zeller family" 


There are places where time seems to pass a little slower – in the best possible sense. For over a century, and now in its fifth generation, the Gasthof zur Wachau in Mitterarnsdorf has been firmly in the hands of our family.

What once began as a simple inn for travelers along the Danube, we have transformed with great attention to detail into a retreat for food lovers, cyclists, and those seeking relaxation.

Genuine hospitality is our heritage For us, hosting is not just a profession, but a calling. We, the Zeller family, are deeply rooted in this house and the unparalleled landscape of the Wachau. We know the best vineyards, the most beautiful hiking trails, and we know exactly what you need after a long day on the Danube Cycle Path: a warm smile, a chilled glass of Wachau apricot juice or a fine glass of wine, and honest, regional cuisine.

Preserving tradition, embracing comfort While we look back proudly on our history, we also move with the times. From our modern indoor pool and cozy comfort rooms to our specialized services for e-bikers – we want you to experience the comfort of today within the charming ambiance of the past.

We invite you to become a part of our story. Join us, leave the everyday behind on the banks of the Danube, and enjoy the welcoming family atmosphere that has shaped our house for generations.

We look forward to welcoming you! Your Zeller Family

WHO WE ARE

Wolfgang Zeller

"Boss & the house's Schnitzel King. Even as a little boy, he made sure to taste-test every beer to see if it was good, and ate butter straight from the spoon. But of course, he is also our jack-of-all-trades (HANDYMAN)."

Claudia Zeller

"Heart of the house. Her devotion belongs to the children as she darts through the house and garden with them. Acting as the family's tour guide, she loves nothing more than sharing her recommendations and tips to help you plan the best excursions in the region." 


Katharina Zeller

"The good soul of the house, who always has a sympathetic ear for all our guests. With great attention to detail, she decorates your tables and the entire restaurant. Reception, service, and so much more." 

Emilia & Paul Zeller

"Our little princess Emilia would already love to serve guests in the most beautiful dirndls – but with plenty of glitter, please! Little Pauli, with his shy charm, is already making women's hearts beat faster. The children of Katharina & Rainer." 

Christian Zeller

"The creative spirit who loves to hide away in the kitchen. With his passion for trying new things, he wants to leave his mark and make the hotel and restaurant a truly special place for you. A place that brings you back to us time and time again." 


Kerstin Zeller

"Our true Bavarian. Kerstin loves chatting with the guests and spoiling them with her sweet creations, whether it's beautiful cakes or delicious desserts." 

Lukas Zeller & Matthias

"Lukas is already right in the middle of the action and fully involved. He loves keeping our guests entertained out in the garden. His little brother Matthias is the newest and youngest member of the family, and is already melting hearts with his beaming smile. The sons of Kerstin & Christian."
