5-Star Hotels in Otago, New Zealand

Nestled in a valley just 20 minutes from Queenstown, this hidden gem is a hidden gem. The hotel rooms are very fancy, and there's even an open-air bathtub, an indoor swimming pool, and a spa. The value for money is truly excellent. Highly recommended!

I was staying with my daughter here. Its close to the city centre just a few minutes of walk. Hotel itself was very beautiful. They had tit bits morning, evening and night at the entrance for their patrons to enjoy. Loved the view of the lake outside our window. Housekeeping was extremely thoughtful. They also sent us complementary milk and chocolate to make our hot chocolate at night. Loved it!

Everything was great, especially waking up to the view of Lake Wanaka and the 'Lone Tree' across the lake. The autumn colors were vibrant and beautiful. If it were summer, there's even a swimming pool downstairs. I wish I could have stayed for a whole week! The room was spacious too. Perfect!

After getting off the long-distance flight, I emailed the hotel to check in and arrived a little late. The front desk was ready to welcome me early in the morning. The hotel is within ten minutes of the attractions and restaurants. The hotel staff is very polite. It was my daughter's birthday, and there was a small birthday cake as a surprise for my daughter. The hotel's little thoughtfulness has been felt by the guests. The only imperfection is that at about 7 o'clock in the morning, there should be a waiter to open the door, but we were still sleeping. I don't know the reason. I have informed the front desk of this matter and asked them to pay attention to this situation.

excellent view nice clean bed but the bathroom corners have some spider webs other than that its very nice and clean. very friendly staff and they even gave us a free upgrade which is always nice of them.

This hotel is a 10-15 minute walk from Queenstown center, offering a quiet escape while still being close to the action. Parking costs 10 NZD per day, which is worth it for the security. The hardware is top-notch, definitely boutique hotel quality. Breakfast is included and conveniently placed in the fridge and minibar area for self-service. The 'only' lake view is across a road from the lake, but the window view is still stunning enough.

The Ebb Dunedin is an architectural gem with beautiful art, comfortable rooms, and incredible attention to detail. Our experience however, was an overpriced hotel (500+ per night) for the service received. We arrived just 30 minutes before the 3:00 PM check-in, and despite our room being ready, we were referred to the mall across the street when we asked to use the toilet. For this price, being sent to a public shopping center is unacceptable. The parking was also an additional 25 per night, on top of the steep room fee. You’re paying for the aesthetic here, but certainly not for the hospitality unfortunately.

It's been three or four days since I returned home from my trip to New Zealand, and I still can't stop thinking about its beautiful scenery. The hotel's environment and views are absolutely stunning, and the rooms are spacious and grand. The overall experience was incredibly comfortable and I genuinely recommend it. I especially want to praise the young man who checked us in. He was professional and very kind. He patiently guided us when we parked and even proactively helped us with our luggage – so thoughtful and attentive. When he saw that I had bought some R.M. Williams clothing, he sincerely complimented my taste, saying it was a 'good choice,' and shared that he also loves the brand, even having the same belt. It created such a great sense of connection. He had just the right amount of humor and wit, and our chat was really uplifting. When I casually asked if I had tried skydiving or bungee jumping locally, and I said I was too scared to try, he leaned in and quietly whispered, 'Me either,' which instantly made me feel a lot closer and more comfortable. Afterwards, he patiently and thoroughly explained all the room's facilities. His service throughout was caring and warm, making the trip extra healing. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time!

This is the hotel I can't wait to write a review for. It is located near the Queenstown Botanical Gardens, outside the city center, and is quiet in the bustling city. I especially like the hotel's facilities and services: First of all, I called in advance to inform the itinerary, but I didn't expect that I would be arranged to check in early, which increased my time for sightseeing as I only had one day in Queenstown; secondly, the room is large, beautiful and smells good; the hotel not only provides free snacks and drinks, Nespresso coffee machines, triangular tea bags, and even milk is provided free of charge, but it is also the only hotel in New Zealand that provides toothbrushes and toothpaste; the TV channels are also complete, and you can watch Netflix, just say it's good or not; a small balcony overlooks the cherry blossoms and the night view of the town, just say it's worth it; happyhour provides wine; especially the front desk, enthusiastic, smiling, I feel very comfortable. I will choose to stay in this hotel in Queenstown for a few more nights on my second visit, so that I can visit the surrounding towns. I’m not good at translating above into English, but I do hope this hotel could keep providing superb and hospitalized facilities and I want to thank the staffs for their kindly and warmly permanence!

The hotel is right by Lake Wakatipu, so the location is excellent. We booked a suite with a lake view, and the room was very new and comfortable. However, the parking fee was a bit expensive at $40 a day.
