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

Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central

8/10 Good

"The location was close enough to the shops restaurants and bars but far enough away to be quiet. The rooms was very nice but when the rooms were serviced all that seemed to be done was the beds made and dirty towels replaced."

Highview Apartments

8/10 Good

"We had a clean, comfortable and spacious apartment overlooking the lake. Pros: 1) The lake view is amazing. 2)The beds and couches were very comfortable. 3)The kitchen was well equipped. 4)Parking was always available when we needed it. 5) The washer/dryer combo unit was handy but allow extra time for air drying of clothes after use on the provided drying rack. Cons: 1) We were given an accessible room but we did not require those capabilities. The shower does not drain well and the entire floor gets wet - thankfully a long pole squeegee is provided to clean the floor but it’s still quite a mess. 2) it is about a 15 min walk to town and the last bit on return is quite steep. We took taxis back from town a couple of times in the rain which are rather expensive (NZ $35-40 for ~ 1 mile). FYI - Layout: The apartment (201a/b) was setup more like an efficiency attached to a separate hotel room. The 1st room was off of a vestibule attached to the larger unit’s main hallway with an uncovered side window that was open to the exterior so privacy was a concern. The 2nd bedroom has a folding wall that can be used but with the furniture layout in the adjacent living room, closing the wall would trap you in the bedroom - perhaps easily fixed with some furniture rearrangement which we did not attempt. Thanks for a lovely visit - would definitely stay again!"

QT Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"This is the best place to stay in Queenstown! My third stay here and it did not disappoint. The turndown service was just perfect! The little treats left on the bed were a lovely touch. The juice and treats in the morning and wine and cheese in the afternoon was just amazing. I will be returning next month and can’t wait. The staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you very much"
