Top Sunshine Bay Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Queenstown Remarkables Park by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Family room was really nice. Two separate rooms, bunk beds for kids and a luxury bathroom that we weren’t expecting at a Holiday Inn. Restaurant convenient and open late and excellent breakfast buffet included in our room. Next to no parking at the hotel but public parking fairly close for $11.50 for 24 hours. Staff were really helpful and the app to pay is at the front desk and pretty easy to use. We wished we had stayed here for our longer stay in Queenstown a few days later."

Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Hilton Queenstown. The hotel’s location on the shores of Lake Wakatipu provides stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains, creating a peaceful atmosphere away from the busy town centre. The rooms are spacious, modern, and well-appointed, with comfortable beds and excellent facilities. Waking up to the lake views each morning was one of the highlights of our trip. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. Service was consistently warm and efficient throughout our stay. The breakfast offered a good variety of hot and cold options, with high-quality ingredients and beautiful views from the restaurant. It was a great way to start each day. While the hotel is located a short drive or water taxi ride from central Queenstown, we found this to be an advantage, allowing us to enjoy the spectacular scenery and a quieter environment while still having easy access to the town. Overall, Hilton Queenstown delivered the relaxing lakeside experience we were looking for and we would happily stay here again."

Mi-pad Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, our stay was outstanding. The staff were exceptional—friendly, accommodating, and genuinely helpful throughout our visit. They held our bags and food leftovers for us, helped me figure out the hot drink vending machine, and were very sympathetic when I had an issue with the room lighting, even though they weren’t able to resolve it. The complimentary hot chocolate and lattes were fantastic and ended up being one of the highlights of our stay. I’m glad I saw them mentioned in previous reviews. My only suggestion for improvement would be the smart lighting system. This may have been user error on my part, but I found it difficult to operate. The control panel remained illuminated throughout the night, and the bathroom light kept turning on with no apparent way to override the system. As someone who is very sensitive to light while sleeping, this affected my sleep quality. That said, everything else about the stay was excellent, and the outstanding service from the staff left a very positive impression."
