The hotel is new, has modern facilities and stunning views of the lake and mountains. The view from the hotel dining room is spectacular. The staff were kind and friendly and offered to help with luggage and travel information/ bookings. My only criticism is that there wasn't enough parking and we ended up parking our hire car on the street... more

Really convenient location, nice short stroll to restaurants, pubs etc. The rooms and facilities are very modern and comfortable, we were impressed by the LCD tv mounted on the wall and the beautiful bedding. Only complaint was that our room was really tiny but with so much to do in town it didn't end up being a problem and we... more

I booked a double lakeview room for a night. Room was clean, usual amenities, balcony was quite nice to drink a coffee on in the morning with an excellent view over Lake Wakatipu. I wasn't really there, too much to do in the time I had, but for the price, which I thought was quite reasonable, no complaints at all.... more

Had to upgrade after seening room which was booked through Whotif but then got an old room with stained carpet and damaged light switches etc., Would not stay there again unless VERY budget conscience. Good location and bus service available. Needs a good clean and revamp. more

I have rated this hotel above average, not so much because of price but overall experience. I obtained a last minute deal and was very happy here. I had a deluxe room on the 7th floor and found it very quiet, the lake view was a bonus. The linen was new and modern, the bathroom with bath was spotless. The... more

We stayed here for 3 nights in early April and this rated as one of the best value for money hotels in our month-long tour around New Zealand. Having been recommended this by Tourist Advice in Queenstown ( having made the mistake of booking into the Lakeview Holiday Park) this was very pleasant by comparison. Reception were very helpful and... more

I'm a frequent Rydges customer and when I learned of the "Lake" title in this Queenstown location I was quick to book a lake-view queen room. First, this hotel is at the edge of uncomfortably far from the hotel village - probably fine in the summer but in autumn it is a chilly walk and certainly not one you'd do... more
