The Mt Earnslaw Motel, is located in the sleepy town of Glenorchy which proved to be a great kick off to start our tramping (Greenstone, Routeburne, ReesDart). Rooms were very adequate with kitchenette, Clean and very Quiet. Great place in nice town with a stroll to cafes and Pub, all the important things after tramping.

The Glenorchy area is one of New Zealand's gems being the launching place to experience the Dart River ("Lord of the Rings" set), Routeburn Track (one of the Great Walks), the Greenstone and Caples tracks and Rees River Valley. Paradise, a locality ten minutes away, is aptly named. Glenorchy in distance is only 40 minutes travel time but 50 years... More

Booking online is always fraught. What I was looking for was a comfortable place for a couple of days R&R between tramps. It needed to be central to bus connections, restaurants etc [I had no vehicle], quiet, and reasonably priced. This Motel is all of this and more.

Stayed here 4 nights in February 2012 having booked online. First impressions were not good. The parking and reception area gave the impression of needing attention. There are a small number of units all looking very much alike. Our unit was in good condition, with relatively new furniture and fittings throughout, was keep clean and tidy, and had a good... More

We booked our room at the Tourist information in Queenstown without knowing what the Motel was like. On arrival we were pleased with the choice. The room was quite large, clean and comfortable. Unfortunately we had to vacate the room by ten oclock the following morning. I did try and get a later time, because my wife was going horse... More

Our room was comfortable, spacious, and looked exactly like the photos on the motel website. It was terrific having a cooktop and microwave in the very well equipped kitchen - one of the few places we encountered that catered for coffee drinkers - a plunger was supplied. Our room was exceptionally clean but the outside of the motel is quite... More

Great room, nice super king bed. Soundproof so we could not hear the neighbours. Service was good and room was spotlessly clean. Recommended!

We stayed here for one night and was pleased at how large the room was, easy it was to check in/out and friendly the owner was. This was a great place to stay!!!
