1. Rosewood Matakauri

2.6 km from Lake Wakatipu

"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."

Top Lake Wakatipu Hotel Reviews

Copthorne Hotel and Apartments Queenstown Lakeview

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing views"

Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central

10/10 Excellent

"The room had a lovely view of the mountains and it was reasonably spacious. The onsite restaurant was handy and the soup and pizza I had were delicious, as was the scrambled eggs with ciabatta - it opens at 6.30 am for breakfast which is great for early risers. The staff were all helpful and very pleasant. The TV doesn't have a lot of options but overall, everything was very good and value for money."

QT Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is about attention to detail and they nail it. The staff is incredible. They take a pride in making your trip special. Coffee, fresh juice and pastries in the morning. Wine and cheese for happy hour. Whiskey and chocolate in the evening. Turndown service. 5 min walk to the heart of town. Stunning views. Great bar/restaurant on site. Really just above an beyond"

Pinewood Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"My sister and I shared Spike 1 and 2, which was perfect for being in Queenstown for 4 nights. It's a really nice unit, and it had everything we needed, and it was easy enough to keep the place warm (which is not a given in NZ in July). It was close enough to downtown that we just walked there. We really loved our time there. The only downside is that the WiFi kept dropping, and there was a morning where it just wasn't working, so this might not be the best option for someone who needs a reliable internet connection."
