We opted for the budget option in Queenstown and were perfectly content with the outcome. The view is indeed nice from the motel; however, as others have noted - a construction project is in the works across the street - which detracts from most photo opportunities. We were also awoken by revellers late at night, but it was brief.

The room was comfortable, the bed was nice, and the staff was very friendly. It was a very short walk to the city centre and harbor area - plus the gondola was a short distance away.

If in Queenstown again, I would consider the Lomond for a repeat visit; however, I might inquire about the construction project first.

Tips: Queenstown was the only location during our travels where I felt as though people were overly anxious to free us of our money - especially at the restaurants directly on the water. The view was decent and the people watching was enjoyable - but next time I would consider a restaurant with a bit more charm off the lakefront.

stayed at the off site apt owned by Lomond lodge on shotover street nice 2 bed accomodation. Walk out back door right on beach steet at marina and beach.

The best thing about our room was the breath taking views of The Remarkables.

The room itself was of a fairly good standard, if not a bit small. The bathroom was modern and clean. The room had good heating and a comfortable bed.

The location was perfect, just a quick walk to the main st.

Overall a good place to stay, with everything you would need. Would probably consider different accommodation if we stayed longer than 2 nights, as we felt a bit cramped.

Reading other reviews - the construction was finished when we stayed, and there is no obstruction of view - they were building a car park which doesn't go more than one story above the ground.

We stayed at the Lomond Lodge for 2 nights and found the location excellant being minutes away from the town centre and the gondala ride. We had a breathtaking view of the Remarkables and Lake Wakatipu however having a room at the front of the lodge we were woken both nights by drunken revellers walking past the lodge returning from their nights out!! Our room had new carpet which had just been laid and initially the smell bothered us but we soon got use to it. The lodge has its own washing machine and tumble dryer which we took advantage of at a cost of $2NZ each. Overall good value for money and well recommended.
