Christine

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff and dining were excellent however the room and room facilities were not great. The shower had poor controls - either lukewarm or scalding; lighting was very dim and given the industrial style decor, it made the room very dark and unwelcoming. It was necessary to keep the lights on whenever in the room and given there were no blinds or net curtains on the floor length windows there was a lack of privacy as all those walking past to get to their own rooms could see right into the room. There was also no television in the room.

HI Christine, thank you for your visit and detailed review. We have over 10 different room types and although the overall decor is dark the rooms with mountain or lake get more natural light, and some do have TVs. We are investigating the issue with shower mixer in some rooms and hope to have a solution soon. Thank you and I look forward to welcoming you back and introduce you to alternate room type. Kind regards, Marina

The experience was just OK at the hotel. The rooms were ‘renovated’ in a very minimalist style that doesn’t always make sense (no countertop in bathroom to put anything, no dining table, not enough power outlets.. little things, but annoying). The parking was constantly full, sauna all booked the same day… no gym… great Chinese massage, the restaurant delicious but almost impossible to get a table mid week without reservation…

Hi Paulina, thank you for your recent stay and review. Due to peak season in Queenstown during your stay, our popular restaurant and facilities do get booked out in advance, we send a pre-arrival message to all guests a week prior to stay to encourage advanced bookings. I hope you can return to have a full Sherwood experience. Please contact me directly should I be able to assist. Kind regards, Marina

We enjoyed being a bit out of the main city for our stay in Queenstown. The bus stops right in front of the hotel were really convenient - much cheaper and less stressful than finding parking in Queenstown. There's also a nice trail that follows the lake, which we walked on in the evenings. We would stay here again.

Charming place to stay. Staff were really helpful and great banter. Sauna was sooooo good! Accomodation was warm and comfy. The covers on the beds also used as couches was a genius idea and the kids loved their beds. Would prefer a little expansion on the breakfast menu, but other than that, would highly recommend staying here.

Good location. Friendly staff. Parking is total shambles though. Parking spots are unallocated but some aggressive guests physically stood in parking spots to block others from using them. Apparently this was to "reserve" the spot outside their room until their car returned. The path to get into and out of the hotel was also very narrow and created huge hassles for driving in and out. Especially when food delivery vans would be stopped near the only car entrance to the facility. Staff paid no notice to the aggressive guests and the poor traffic management. Not a pleasant way to end our stay

This is a converted motel and not a hotel. The ECO ethos while commendable means that the rooms are very basic and dated, there are no TVs or microwaves in the room. If you are downstairs off the car park you need to keep your thick curtains to have any privacy which makes the room very dark and feels like you’re in the body of a boat. Also check there’s no music event on during your stay, the whole room shook with bass during 90 minute rehearsal in the afternoon and then the concert finished at 9.30 so no chance of getting young kids to sleep.

The room was great but we woke to no water one day and were not informed of what was happening until we went to reception. I would have expected a notice under the door. Construction noise and no privacy when the workers were walking by the only windows. Someone left a storage room door adjar all night as it slammed in the wind. Other than these things the staff were helpful and pleasant and we enjoyed the room.

It is a super nature hotel, great view and environment, no USB outlet and as foreign we had to buy a switch outlet to charge our phone. The restroom has barely no place for personal item and shower is too close to the rest facilities. I must say even I was quite enjoy the view and stay, overall I feel kind of inconvenient for how stay. But the free parking is super bonus for Queenstown and I must emphasis this point.

Checkin was only at 6:30pm and there was a suggestion to go to the restaurant however no tables were available. A discounted drink or some offer for having to stay around would have been appreciated.

We weren’t sure what to expect, booked this on a whim and then absolutely adored our time at Sherwood. Beyond their commitment to the environment, we loved our room and all of the small details. Also loved the on site restaurant. Amazing food and atmosphere. We were able to walk to Altitude Brewing and the K Jet dock and then used the bus (very convenient) to get everywhere else including into town. Would highly recommend.
