Reception staff were fantastic. Our flight was cancelled at the last minute by Qantas and needed accommodation for three nights to tie us over. The staff bent over backwards to help us out. Very comfortable and close to the CBD.

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.

Great views and location

Wonderful place to stay in Queenstown! The staff was very helpful at check in, giving us some great activity and food ideas. The hotel is a short walk from restaurants and activities downtown. Oh, and the view of the lake from our room was spectacular!

Had a great stay with Blue Peaks Lodge. Wasn’t expecting to have everything we needed. From hair blower up to flat iron and iron board! The rooms are quite spacious and they take cleanliness very seriously. Staff are accomodating and always helpful. Plus the fact that it is walking distance to the central town. Also, parking for those who came in with vehicles are accessible, just right outside your rooms. Will definitely gladly to stay here again next time. Highly recommended!
