"Wow! An amazing experience at a beautiful property, with outstanding service. We stayed for 2 nights at the end of our travels in NZ, and this was truly the highlight of our trip. The setting is stunning, the food is outstanding, and the room is beautiful. But the staff are what make the place really special. Over the years, we have stayed in excellent hotels around the world, and this one ranks among the best. Exclusive, exquisite, and refined. Highly recommended."

Rendezvous Heritage Hotel Queenstown

Rendezvous Heritage Hotel Queenstown

10/10 Excellent
"This place makes you feel right at home. When a person is traveling, regardless of the purpose or duration of the travel, these people are away from their own lives, homes, comfort zones, friends, family, etc. Therefore, these travelers need and want a place to stay that is so wonderfully cozy and peaceful, so they can relax, destress, unwind, and feel right at home! (Even if they are thousands and thousands of miles away from home), and this place hit the nail on the head,"
