This hotel has excellent location and amenities, great secure parking and a shuttle that can take you to or pick you up from the centre of town hourly. Be sure to book the lake view rooms because they are stunning.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Rees. Was meant to be 2 nights but we added a third as we decided our other accom option we had booked would be disappointing in comparison! Room was well appointed, bathroom was spacious, clean and the spa bath was an added bonus. Turn down service includes the most delicious chocolates too! Wifi worked well as did the TV and in room tablet that gave you all the hotel info. We stayed in an Executive Lake View room, which is a mezzanine style (up some stairs) on level 7 (the top level) so our super large balcony gave us great views. Yes it wasn’t a direct view as you look into the roof below, but we really liked the space the room gave us and it also meant we had more privacy. The balcony on ours and the room itself are much bigger than the lake view hotel rooms. Free parking in covered garaging below and also a Tesla charging station which came in handy for our rental. Breakfast was included in our rate, was a limited menu you selected from (due to Covid I suspect) and it was good too. All the staff (reception, restaurant to house keeping) we came across were fantastic - nothing was an issue - but a big shoutout to the man Jimmy who was ever so pleasant and showed us the other room type we were considering changing to (a Lake view hotel room, decided we liked the Exec room better!). It’s people like Jimmy that keep you coming back! We will be back and highly recommend the Rees to those that are looking at options in Queenstown. Yes it may be a bit pricier - but you get what you pay for in our opinion. Something to note: It is a few minutes drive from the main center which wasn’t an issue for us as we had a car, but they offer a shuttle service hourly which really makes things easy. On previous trips without a car we’ve stayed closer to town at the QT so we could walk in, but even if we didn’t have a rental next time we would stay at the Rees as the rooms and staff were that good, and the fact that you can still get into and out of town via the shuttle makes being a few mins drive out not a problem. They also have free guest laundry - 2 washing machines and 2 dryers for your use (free) which was handy as we had been away for close to a week. When you factor in breakfast, laundry services and parking, that is all included in the rate, we felt it was great value for money.…
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Rees. We stayed a two bedroom two bathroom full kitchen room with a large private balcony. The rooms were clean, had a great view, and even a fireplace. Beds were comfortable and the bathroom had a heated towel rack. While it is slightly out of town, this helps to keep the noise down, and the free shuttle service is an easy way to access the town. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly and helped us book many wonderful activities. A great place to stay.
Great service and nice staff. Great location and all the amenities were great. We had a 3 bedroom apartment and the master bedroom was very spacious. Other 2 bedrooms were adequate. Was welcomed and greeted by Sebastian - gave us great service so well done mate!. Only real but a big let down and disappointment was no air conditioning and we needed it - the fans provided is a bit tacky for a hotel of this quality. I'm sure other accommodations down the road at a far cheaper rate would have air-conditioning.
Incredibly rude manager who cast dispersions on my character which were completely inaccurate and refused to apologise, Have spent a lot of money at this facility in the last year, supporting the South during difficult times and did not ever expect to be treated with so much disrespect. Would not stay in this establishment again if they feel it is acceptable to treat regular guests this way.
