Honestly we can't rate Hulbert House highly enough. From the minute we walked in the door, every member of staff was exceptional and every attention to detail was fully thought through. The managers Jay and Jade, have such a great work ethic and an open and welcoming approach that we felt we were their number 1 priority throughout their whole stay. The bedroom was incredible, overlooking the beautiful lake in Queenstown and the inclusive wine and canapes were extremely well received. With only 6 suites, you really do receive such personal attention. It is possibly the best hotel we have ever stayed in and, as seasoned travellers, that is high praise indeed. We will most certainly be back. Thank you. Mick and Caroline Cronin

My wife was at a conference in Queenstown, and I went along as the hanger-on. From Nelson, it's not that far. She didn't want to stay at the conference hotel, and decided that Hulbert House looked nice.

She was right, nice it was. Very very nice. I've stayed in hundreds of hotels. I used to travel the world, five months a year, for work. I can honestly say that I now have a new favourite hotel. And it's Hulbert House. From the welcome to the farewell, it couldn't have been better. Jay, Jade and Martina could not have done any more to make us welcome. And we had the place to ourselves. There were no other guests during our stay. That's pretty special. When you're handed a menu at breakfast and told "it's just a guideline", and to "let us know if there's anything you want special tomorrow", you know you're in somewhere that is just good. New Zealand has good coffee. Hulbert House has great coffee. That breakfast just sets you up. Out all day and you come back to a warm house, scratch-made canapes and superb wines, all complimentary, you're on a winner. The house is imeccably decorated, the rooms unique, and plush doesn't do it justice. Someone knew what they were doing when they designed this place. It's special.

Queenstown itself is a great place, my new favourite hotel in the world made it even better. Thank you. Even though we now live on the other side of the world, I hope we will be back.
