Independent, Queenstown Hotels

Last minute decision but it was a perfect choice. The balcony opens to one of the most spetacular view I've ever seen. The hotel staffs were all very friendly and helpful, willing to assist me with any small requests. It did not feel like they were just answering like because they have to but because they genuinly wanted to help me. I will definitely refer this hotel to anyone planning to go to Queenstown.

Stayed 4 nights over Queenstown Winter Festival 2014 in a 6 bed room with ensuite, great staff, enough of them, good price, cleaning staff extremely respectful if you were still sleeping it off, double glazing and thermal curtains eliminated almost all noise from Searle Lane, every room seems to have a deck, we also had a heat pump! The bunks were comfy, pillows a bit thin but awesome duvet. Would prefer powerpoints nearer each bed but there was plenty of them. One cubbyhole per bed in a wall mounted unit, each about 30x12cm and maybe 15cm deep (all from memory sorry) with provision for you to use your own padlock. There was just enough room for everyone to have a bag near their bed, tight but not an issue. The ensuite was excellent, tons of hot water, needed a shelf for your stuff for shaving etc but otherwise great. Huge place, so the kitchen and lounge were never full, had a pull table, big deck, couches, fire... nice. Slept in the last day let off the $10 fee, thanks guys! :)

The bed doesn't match to what I booked, but overall really recommended

It's located ON THE SLOPE so if you have luggage or hates to climb upslope, don't consider. BUT the location is still a BLESSING in disguise because it is located in between two popular tourist attraction. Skyline and Coronet Peak shuttle bus. It's opposite Queenstown medical centre and fire station..AND the nearby supermarket is also the "more affordable" one compared to the one in town. So if you don't mind the climb, it's an ideal place:) The unpleasing experiences is that my room heater switches off every hour..and so I ended up waking every few hour to restart it. And even though we have clean bedsheets, the bedsheet is already a fading yellow and I can't sleep without my long john because I was itch all over!!! ( i have sensitive skin) The toilet sink comes with two separate tap, hot and cold. So unless you have a mug to mix the water, you will be washing your teeth and face with icy water.

Well had amazing time in the game room won $ 400.00 on the stacker machine played pool and bowling and a few beers great staff overall great time thanks guys :)

I enjoyed my stay.The only criticism was the noise from the road from trucks. I would stay again.

We did not view or stay. I booked this by mistake because my search for "Accommodation Milford Sound" had Kinloch Lodge near the top. But it is no where near Milford Sound. So just a warning for others in case they make the same mistake. I did not find out about my mistake until the day of our stay. Kinloch has a very strict cancellation policy and charged me despite the mistake. Staff were apologetic and nice. I think they could make it very clear in their emails and web information that Kinloch is 5 hours drive from Milford Sound.

Never never come again! Saw hairs on bed that look like pubic hairs!

Very well looked after, meals superb, would return again.

One of the best backpackers that I've stayed at
