"Great modern hostel on the lakefront a short 5 mins from the centre of queenstown.
Good rooms and clean hot showers. Comfy lounge with pool table.
Parking can be tricky - like most places.
A hot tub or sauna would be a great addition to the hostel a day of skiing!"

Top Lake Wakatipu Hotel Reviews
Mercure Queenstown Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Very friendly helpful staff. Room was neat and clean. "
"Just outside of Queenstown centre where there are plenty of food and dining options. We did have a car and it only took us a couple of minutes to drive there so it would be about 10-15 min walk to the centre. Apartment was clean and modern and the bed was comfortable. We really liked the gas fire place. "
