Walking distance to downtown Queenstown. Rooms were perfect for resting at night. Beds were comfortable and ensuite was clean. Rooms were serviced daily. Highly recommended
Manager was awesome. He was very flexible about our arrival. Room was very nice and clean love the deck outside we were able to do laundry here beds are very comfortable.
I was only at the lodge for a night but it was a nice stay. The common area had great amenities and a beautiful view.
Would stay here again when I'm next in Queenstown.
Was so impressed and surprised being budget accommodation.very clean and tidy with well stocked amenities and the view from the main function room was spectacular
Staff helpful, room was ok but decor a bit tired. Lovely view from our balcony of the lake. Very clean overall. We were in room 31 and struggled to unlock the door on our return from day out and the bedside light on my side didn’t work. We reported both to reception.

Very basic accommodations
No control over heat or cooling
Convenient location and a pleasant lounge area to make tea or coffee or eat a meal.
Good location, not far from the lake and shops and restaurants. The property is older, with some oddly constructed additions. The concrete steps to the upper floor are too steep and not easy to navigate. Some renovations are needed on both the interior and exterior. The employees are pleasant. The rooms are clean and functional, but not modern or attractive.
