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

10/10 Excellent

"Staff at the desk was so helpful.. I forgot the name but she even charged my phone twice as the phone cable was not working. Much appreciated."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Queenstown by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel room also had a few shortcomings in terms of comfort and housekeeping standards. The room was not fully carpeted, and no slippers were provided, which made it uncomfortable during winter. In addition, during housekeeping, the bed was not properly tidied or made up, which did not meet the expected standard of room service for a hotel of this level. These details affected the overall comfort and impression of the stay."

Mi-pad Queenstown

8/10 Good

"Had a great stay at mi-pad and would absolutely stay here again. Only reason I didn’t stay longer was because I had a rental car and parking is difficult in Queenstown. But loved the room, the bed was very comfortable. Wish there was a bit more natural light, and staff were friendly but could be a bit more welcoming."

Novotel Queenstown Lakeside

10/10 Excellent

"We will not hesitate to revisit in the future, perfect location for everything, helpful staff, spotlessly clean, nice restaurant (although only used for breakfast on our departure day as Queenstown has so much to offer!). Only improvement would be to refurbish the outdated bathroom, that said it did the job."
