8.6/10 Excellent! (1,002 reviews)

Great location, a ferry runs to Queenstown every hour which is cheaper than an uber, several food options within the resort area which is convenient. The breakfast buffet was great value, wide range of options - highly recommend. During winter they included complimentary hot chocolate in the lobby. Lots of nice walking nearby and places to sit and relax, nice fireplace area outdoors near the main restaurant. Parking was mildly annoying, don’t use the underground carpark if you have a medium or big car as it is pretty tight to navigate. Just use the above ground / open gravel area to park and that’s also closer walking distance to the hotel entrance. If you arrive late you might struggle to find a parking spot, none are reserved. Pay by QR code for parking is easy, don’t have to pay for a full day either (first 3 hours free). Was fine after working that out. There was some miscommunication with some staff around buffet prices, but it got resolved promptly and they took care of everything. Do not use the service in the lobby for pre booking tours, as being a third party that makes it difficult to make changes or cancellations if you have to change plans due to weather etc. Not worth 5% discount for that hassle, plus they charge huge card fee so the savings aren’t worth it.

How to plan for a mountain vacation in New Zealand?

The first step to planning your mountain vacation to New Zealand is to decide what dates you want to go. In the winter months, fresh snowfall means you could hit the slopes at ski resorts near New Zealand, while summer invites you to enjoy scenic hikes. It's a good idea to choose the type of accommodation you'd prefer, too. On Expedia, you'll encounter a vast array of options in New Zealand, from famous chain hotels to charming cabins. The vacation planning page has more tips for organizing your New Zealand mountain vacation.

What amenities should I look for when booking a mountain resort in New Zealand?

When booking accommodation for your mountain vacation to New Zealand, check to see if where you're staying has heating. New Zealand's mountain air means it can feel fresh at night. If you're craving a special stay, look to see if the hotel offers mountain view rooms, or has a pool or hot tub to unwind in the evenings. Expedia's handy search filters include all these amenities and more, making it a breeze to book the right place to stay on your New Zealand vacation package.

Why should I choose a package for my mountain vacation in New Zealand?

Choosing a package for your New Zealand vacation often works out cheaper thanks to the savings you get for bundling up your flights and hotel. You'll typically find it costs more when booking these separately. On Expedia, the green label even shows you how much you're saving. Packages also tend to be more flexible, meaning it's more likely you can cancel for free in case your 2026 plans change. You can usually secure your package by paying a small upfront deposit, whereas booking flights separately requires full payment.

What does a New Zealand package typically include?

Return flight tickets, your accommodation, and applicable taxes are typically included when you book a mountain vacation package to New Zealand from $819. Hotels may include breakfast and Wi-Fi, while the airfare may include checked luggage. Certain resorts may even include ski passes. As each New Zealand vacation package is different, be sure to double-check what's included before you confirm. If you want a hassle-free trip, consider booking New Zealand all-inclusive vacation packages as these include all meals.

How can I book my New Zealand on Expedia?

Comparing some of the best deals using the search wizard is one of the first steps to booking your New Zealand mountain vacation on Expedia. Take advantage of the search filters to narrow down hundreds of options at the click of a button. If you've got a strict budget, use the maximum price filter to set your limit. When you've pinned down your New Zealand package vacation, book it in just a few clicks. You'll also have the option to spread the cost with Expedia's payment plans.

Why book your New Zealand mountain vacation with Expedia?

With meaty exclusive deals you won't find anywhere else, you'll keep more cash in your pocket when booking your New Zealand vacation package on Expedia. No matter your preferences or tastes, you'll find the right place to stay thanks to the wide selection of accommodation. There are even last-minute deals, too. And if that's not enough, join One Key for free. Expedia's reward program lets you earn points on eligible trips and also gives you access to juicy member-only discounts.

Can I cancel my mountain vacation package booking?

Yes, as most of Expedia's mountain vacation packages to New Zealand are flexible, you can often cancel for free. Doing so is easy, too—log in to the “Trips” section and follow the steps. Don't forget to double-check the cancellation policy before booking, as not all New Zealand vacation packages are flexible. The good news is Expedia will display this to you before payment. Take advantage of the free cancellation search filter so you'll be able to narrow down your search to view only flexible New Zealand vacation packages.

What types of mountain accommodations are available in New Zealand?

5-star hotels, cozy mountain lodges, and quaint bed and breakfasts are some of the most popular types of mountain accommodations for your vacation to New Zealand. Don't forget to use the filters to home in the amenities you'd like to have, too. Maybe it's a spacious suite with a mountain view or a traditional lobby with a fireplace—you'll find it all with Expedia's easy-to-use search wizard and wide choice of accommodation.
