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

Pinewood Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at Pinewood and would happily stay here again. The location is excellent—just a short walk to Queenstown town centre, making it very convenient while still being in a peaceful setting. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the accommodation is a little dated in some areas, and soundproofing could be improved. That said, these were only minor issues and didn't take away from our overall experience. Overall, Pinewood offers great value for money, friendly service, and a fantastic location. We'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for comfortable accommodation in Queenstown."

Kamana Lakehouse

10/10 Excellent

"Family of four stayed there for holiday. - Food was AMAZING! We had breakfast and Lounge bites with wine. We still talk about it. - View was just perfect. It would be even better when the construction finishes. - Outdoor hot spa was a bonus but would have been good if we knew about it when we booked the accommodation. We were informed when we checked in and all sessions were already booked out. However, we got to go as there were some cancellations! - All staffs were very friendly and helpful. - I didn’t realise our room & dining were in different buildings. It was cold but ok. - Parking at times were hard to find so we had to park quite far on the first day but ok. - We would love to be back just to eat there :)"

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"

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."
