"Such a lovely place to stay, curl up by the fire, enjoy yummy food and glass of red 😋 staff are super friendly and helpful. Our room and bathroom were immaculately clean, warm and cosy. We really enjoyed the outdoor fire too! "
"We booked this hotel last minute (day before stay) as a stop between Aoraki and Te Anau (we didn’t want to stop in Queenstown). Unfortunately the weather was awful with rain and gale force winds. The staff at the hotel were amazing at communicating the conditions, including letting us know in advance that the restaurants at Cardrona would all be closed. They encouraged us to pick up groceries before heading up to the hotel.

A verified traveler stayed at Crowne Plaza Hotel Queenstown, an IHG Hotel
"This is right in the heart of Queenstown! Love it steps away from the wharf where almost all attractions are, playground right in front with the beautiful botanical gardens and local ice rink. Parking for street or valet was great. Rooms are a little outdated however beds were great, bathrooms were cleaned daily from top to bottom, included breakfast is worth it. Concierge is great to go chat and book your activities. Definitely will be returning to the property summer or winter "
A verified traveler stayed at Novotel Queenstown Lakeside
"The location of the apartment is great. You can see the entire snow-capped mountains and lakes through the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the landscape. The apartment is a 5-minute drive from the commercial center and is also close to the airport and supermarket. The apartment service staff is very nice and the apartment facilities are also complete. I will stay here again next time I go."
A verified traveler stayed at Swiss-Belsuites Pounamu Queenstown
"Staff!!! Absolutely amazing. I have stayed in different hotels both locally and international but the staff at this hotel were next level amazing. Prompt response, kind, understanding and honest.
Room- we stayed on L401 and it has to be the best room at this hotel. My family and I will stay here from now on for our Queenstown trips"
"We had a group of 8 staying 3 nights, we booked a 2-bedroom apartment and one superior queen room. We were very happy with the service; we had a bit of a mix-up with the booking company, but this was accommodated by the hotel promptly. Very clean, and polite. There are older elements that could be updated (e.g. tapware and bath etc.) but they do the job just fine for the price, the service and being within walking distance to the waterfront more than make up for this. I have not complaints and would happily book again."
