Great stay! Love the service provided by the concierge staff upon our arrival, did not manage to catch his name but he was fantastic! He was detail oriented and sincere with his service. Especially after a long drive up to Dunedin, he made sure we were well taken care of :)
Room booked was quite tiny, so not recommended to book this room type if you are travelling with big luggage. Room was also quite perfumed - which would've been better if it was much more subtle.
My recent stay at Oakridge Resort Lake Wanaka was overall a very positive experience, thanks to its fantastic amenities. After long days spent exploring the stunning surrounding landscapes, the hot pools were an absolute highlight. Soaking in the warm water under the stars was incredibly relaxing and a perfect way to unwind tired muscles. This was definitely a standout feature of the resort and something I greatly appreciated.
If I were to be particularly picky, the only minor annoyance during my stay was a faint but persistent hissing sound coming from the telephone line in my room. While it wasn't overly loud, it did become a little distracting when trying to get to sleep.
Despite this small issue, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Oakridge Resort.
We enjoyed our stay very much hotel was in a good location for what we needed the whole of city center was in walking distance. One thing to be aware of listing shows parking but they only have 13 parks so would pay to call in advance to get one allocated to your room.
I recently stayed at Scenic Hotel Southern Cross and had a very pleasant experience. One of the biggest highlights of this hotel is its excellent location – it's within walking distance to many of Dunedin's main attractions, including the Railway Station, Baldwin Street (the world’s steepest street), and Queen’s Gardens. Whether you're in town for sightseeing or just want convenient access to key places, this hotel is ideally situated.
The check-in and check-out process was smooth and efficient, and the staff were warm and welcoming, making the entire stay hassle-free. The room was clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable space to relax after a day of exploring the city.
Another plus is the on-site hotel parking, which is a great convenience, especially in a central location like this.
Overall, I’d recommend Scenic Hotel Southern Cross for anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located hotel in Dunedin with friendly service and all the essentials covered.
The chalet was absolutely stunning, it had gorgeous views. The staff were all fantastic, welcoming and friendly. I cannot fault a thing. My recent visit was a trip to remember!
I will certainly come back to this hotel when I visit Queenstown again. Thank you.
Very affordable yet clean spacious hotel that we visited. The window outside view is very fascinating.Booking was easy and the location is also accessible for other amenities. The receptionist who assisted us during check in was so quick and we were sent to our villa less than 10mins. After our check out we handed the card key and another receptionist thank us for leaving the room so clean. We dint expect that she appreciate us of not messing around.Twas a great stay!
It’s a vintage hotel, I’m surprised with the lift which is very old type of lift, the design very pretty and retro. Room is quite spacious for 4 adults. The heater is very powerful and strong. The hotel is located near to the town center and precinct street, just a few minutes of walk can reach.
This was the best place we ever lived in. It exudes an old, rustic charm with a touch of cleanliness that’s unparalleled. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a fancy spa hotel. It’s truly a time capsule and a hidden gem.

Very Good
VVictorThe lake view is stunning right through my room window, very impressive. The beds are comfortable and the room’s spacious. The front desk staff is very friendly and helpful, above and beyond my expectations. The location is perfect, only a walking distance to the town centre but away from the crowds. The bathroom is however out of dated with quite old toilet, sink and bathtub, not on par with a 4-star hotel. The price is very reasonable. I would recommend this hotel for its overall quality.
JJUZKthe location’s perfect if you’re not renting a car as a solo traveler. roof top lounge is pretty chill, and the view was breathtaking. They were renovating into a rooftop bar when I was visiting, seems likes the vibe at the area will be another level up
AAylwinDDoubletree was a last minute decision upon arriving Queenstown from Mt Cook. Although it is pricey, no regrets getting a room here for 2 nights. It came with a fully furnished kitchenette where you could do some cooking but didn't utilize this since we ate out. One peeve I don't understand is the need to pay for parking since onsite (NZD$ 16 per nite). There's ample parking and for guests that drive in, this should be complimentary for stay duration.
Location is outside of Queenstown but water taxi available from hotel dock. Recommend for the environment and fantastic room but giving 3 stars for facilities due to need to pay for parking.
Location by the lake allows peace and quiet and also wildlife encounters. Front desk staff during checkin time was very attentive and helpful as well.
CCrystalwuThis hotel is a fantastic choice if you're not renting a car. The location is unbeatable, right on Queenstown Bay. Everything is within easy walking distance: boat departures, the gondola, town shopping, a 24-hour convenience store, and nearby bars. It's perfect for those who like to break up their day; you can explore in the morning, pop back to the hotel for a rest, and then head out again in the afternoon. Five stars for the location! However, the bed was too soft and the room was small. While the lobby was nice, the room itself was pretty standard.
WWWidjajaThe room is spacious, great views, however, the housekeeping staff were not really clean the room. They even forgot to take the dirty towel. Location wise, it's a bit uphill, although it's less than 10 minutes walk to reach the downtown area
LLandersMercure Queenstown Resort has offered very good services with great hospitality. The room given has a great view overseeing a big lake right from the middle. Livin (A name for New Zealander, I suppose) offered great hospitality for us and even treated us a VIP favour by giving an in room slipper.. thank you.. if you are lucky you can even spot a double rainbow…
Superb.. love Queenstown and Mercure Resort..
Also Accor membership is usable here.. bravo..
NNomadikMutton dressed as lamb ! Old lodge is noisy and smelly like the old motel it is. At first the fresh decor is attractive and certainly works a charm . Till the plumbing betrays the age of the building . Every tap in the building sounds like a howling dog in the middle of the night ! The walls are paper thin. Could not sleep. The sustainability and wellness themes seem more opportunistic than real ! The property needs a lot of real work not just fancy chairs and wool hanging on the wall. Perhaps the late facing rooms are superior quality ; do not book the lodge rooms for over $200 / night. Too much to pay for no sleep.
AAylwinDLocation: The hotel is located close to the Queenstown airport but approximately 15 mins away from Queenstown itself.
Parking: There is no parking bays at the Hilton (only valet) itself but it shares with Doubletree which is limited. Due to some maintenance work, level P2 was closed off and had to park in a reserved slot for the night. Cost of parking is NZ$ 16 per night.
Rooms: This is where my issue lies, the room temp is centrally managed and it was freezing at night especially with the floor to ceiling windows. Had to go to the front desk for portable heater and extra blankets on the 1st night. Bathroom is non-heated (with tiled floors) so extra cold in there. In most places we stayed in NZ, the bathrooms had heated lamps overhead for comfort. I requested the accessible room for mom and it was provided as requested although the location of the room was on one end of the building which is a distance to walk.
Food: Breakfast was a good selection and ran from 630 to 1030am.

GGuest UserThe hotel was almost walkable from the airport. We arrived early Saturday morning and enjoyed the market right over the road. As we were early to the hotel we got our instructions and returned later, lovely receptionist.
We did not eat at the hotel but there is a cafe on the ground level which closes around 2.30 but the smell from fresh bakery and coffee was pretty good.
Self catering was good with basics. We had a faulty fridge and had just bought supplies but the hotel, although almost time for staff to leave, found us another room with an upgrade. If you are a fussy camper, you could say fittings in bathroom were ”cheap” and scuff marks on walls (all white so they show more) but it was perfect for us. Overlooking building sites and other buildings but just look up and there are the mountains in their splendour.l Cost was reasonable and as parking is pricy in Queenstown it was good to get free parking at the hotel.
