Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central

10/10 Excellent

"Above and beyond "

QT Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment we arrived at QT Queenstown, we felt genuinely welcomed. We happened to check in on a Friday when the hotel was offering their complimentary afternoon activity, a relaxing 15-minute shoulder massage, which was the perfect way to unwind after our flight. When we walked into our room, we were greeted with a bottle of wine waiting for us, and later received an additional bottle of champagne to help celebrate a birthday we were marking during our stay, such a thoughtful touch! The room itself was exactly as pictured stylish, spacious, and beautifully designed. The real highlight came when we stepped out onto the balcony: the panoramic views of Lake Wakatipu and Queenstown were absolutely breathtaking. A special tip to anyone staying: if you can, wake up early to catch the sunrise from the balcony, it’s truly worth it! The bathroom was huge, featuring both a spacious shower and a luxurious soaking tub, along with high-quality Kevin Murphy products, which added an extra touch of indulgence. Throughout our stay, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to offer great local recommendations. The hotel also offers a free shuttle bus for guests, which was super convenient for getting around Queenstown and to/from the airport, just make sure to book in advance to secure your spot. Overall, QT Queenstown made our trip unforgettable. From the thoughtful extras to the amazing views and standout service, we couldn't have asked for a better experien"

Blue Peaks Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"They had just renovated the property (had a bit of wet paint smell, but went away quickly with ventilation.) Everything was clean and fresh. Our family really appreciates 2 bedrooms. The kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped and everything was perfect! We had parking and could easily walk to town. Shuttle stops for Milford sound or the shotover jet boats are super convenient. I highly recommend this property. "

Copthorne Hotel and Resort Queenstown Lakefront

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the staff, helpful as due to the size of hotel we had to get directions a couple of times from the lobby to our room in another block/ wing of the hotel. Staff provided a map and other and staff were helpful when asked. The view from our room was gorgeous of the mountains. There is path through a local park which is close by that you can take to the center of Queenstown with restaurants and stores. Ate a couple of times at on site restaurant and service and food was good. "
