Kamana Lakehouse

10/10 Excellent

"Great view from the restaurant, very clean rooms and competent staff"

Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious, modern accommodation in a central location. We had a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment and it was super clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Great supply of toiletries, comfortable beds, functional kitchenette and laundry facilities including a dryer, that was a bonus. The only thing that wasn’t great is a fan that was connected to the light in both bathrooms. It was extremely noisy and given bathrooms are very close to beds it was inconvenient at times. "

Rendezvous Heritage Hotel Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"Good sized room & bathroom. Comfortable beds. Staff very efficient and friendly Good location and easy 15 min walk to town or there was a bus which stopped right outside the hotel. We didn’t use the pool or spa or restaurant so can’t really comment but it looked good. "
