Sudima Queenstown Five Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Location was just perfect for all these activities in Frankton!"

Kamana Lakehouse

10/10 Excellent

"Family of four stayed there for holiday. - Food was AMAZING! We had breakfast and Lounge bites with wine. We still talk about it. - View was just perfect. It would be even better when the construction finishes. - Outdoor hot spa was a bonus but would have been good if we knew about it when we booked the accommodation. We were informed when we checked in and all sessions were already booked out. However, we got to go as there were some cancellations! - All staffs were very friendly and helpful. - I didn’t realise our room & dining were in different buildings. It was cold but ok. - Parking at times were hard to find so we had to park quite far on the first day but ok. - We would love to be back just to eat there :)"

"This is the best place to stay in Queenstown! My third stay here and it did not disappoint. The turndown service was just perfect! The little treats left on the bed were a lovely touch. The juice and treats in the morning and wine and cheese in the afternoon was just amazing. I will be returning next month and can’t wait. The staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you very much"

Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central

10/10 Excellent

"The room had a lovely view of the mountains and it was reasonably spacious. The onsite restaurant was handy and the soup and pizza I had were delicious, as was the scrambled eggs with ciabatta - it opens at 6.30 am for breakfast which is great for early risers. The staff were all helpful and very pleasant. The TV doesn't have a lot of options but overall, everything was very good and value for money."

Pinewood Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"My sister and I shared Spike 1 and 2, which was perfect for being in Queenstown for 4 nights. It's a really nice unit, and it had everything we needed, and it was easy enough to keep the place warm (which is not a given in NZ in July). It was close enough to downtown that we just walked there. We really loved our time there. The only downside is that the WiFi kept dropping, and there was a morning where it just wasn't working, so this might not be the best option for someone who needs a reliable internet connection."
