Outstanding stay at this property. Close to the town center just 10m walk. We had booked 6 nights stay and during check in upgraded our room to lake view with 60$/night which was worth as it gave us stunning view of lake and mountains and we had 2nd floor room which was connected to the lawn garden.. staff is friendly and helpful. Overall excellent stay

I loved the view of the lake & mountains from my room. Such a magical sight to wake up to. My steak was cooked to perfection. Could taste the love in the food and the staff were very accommodating. The only improvement over all would be to update their guest laundry with new washing machines & dryers to facilitate the number of guests onsite.

My room had a stunning view. Hotel is in a great location, I didn’t need a car, I walked everywhere. It’s a big hotel so staff isn’t too friendly or eager to help. It was clean - enough. At least in the important areas - bed and bathroom. Corners of my windows had cob webs and at some point a former guest had finger drew some pictures in the dust on the glass - which looks out at the view so hard to miss. Also, it’s hard to describe the weirdness of the hallways to the rooms - you go from a nice lobby to…damaged hallway walls and a 1970’s feel. They are also very long. It was good for what it is.

Great location and nice staff

Great location, it was clean and the staff were really nice and friendly. The bed was super comfortable, perfect location. The room was just a bit tired, the hotel just needs some minor renovations. It was worth the money we paid for during a long weekend.

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.
