Review of Hulbert House
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 28 Feb 2024
What an absolutely amazing hotel, from the excellent attentive staff, to the luxurious room and the first class breakfast, cakes and canapés . I can not recommend this hotel more highly. Thank you Jay and your wonderful team, can’t wait to visit again.

First off, we want to say thank you to Jay, Tavae, Sasha, Stephanie and the whole team for making our stay truly spectacular! From the moment you arrive, you are made to feel like this is your home in Queenstown. The whole team is great to chat with and gave great recommendations and tips (They saved our legs from extra unneeded hiking when doing the Ben Lomond track by recommending the gondola). Also a big thank you to Nookie and Sasha for going above and beyond for our housekeeping and being very thoughtful in helping us, even leaving a hand written note. The service and thoughtfulness you get at Hulbert House is impossible to replicate at larger hotels. The hotel is extremely well kept and well decorated and the hearty breakfasts, evening cocktails, canapés and snacks, and non-alcoholic drinks available through the day are such nice touches (the brownies and baked goods are the best!). We stayed in the Firth Suite which was very spacious and had amazing views! We looked in-depth at all of the top hotels in Queenstown and absolutely think this was the right choice. There is a short, steep climb when coming back from town but it also means you are a few minutes removed from the noise in town. On weekend nights, the music at the bars in town is very loud and can be heard from the streets. At Hulbert House, we didn’t deal with any of the noise. If the hill was too taxing on a given night, an Uber back from town was under NZD$10. Hulbert House definitely ranks as one of the best hotels we’ve ever had the opportunity to stay at.

This is a sublime boutique BnB. Really exceptional. It's the kind of small hotel I am always looking for and rarely find. First, the location is perfect, you can walk to everything in Queenstown. There is ample parking. Next, there is the decor. It is absolutely stunning. Vibrant, quirky, lush. Incredible wallpaper, lovely antiques, impeccable bedding, colorful tiles, but all in keeping with the age of the house. Then there is the pampering. The staff turn into friends immediately, and they will do everything in their power to make your stay memorable and perfect. Breakfast is divine, but there are also treats in the midday, followed by wine and canapés after 5. Also, my husband is celiac and they went above and beyond to ensure he had his own gluten free treats, they even bought a new toaster to prevent cross contamination! I can't applaud them enough, we stayed 4 nights and I just about cried when we left. This is true luxury.

Hulbert House was a great base for our time in Queenstown. The location is so convenient--walkable to everything, but know that it's up a STEEP hill. (Just take your patience and wear comfy shoes. Also, know that as of April 2023 there's a lot of construction in downtown QT; GPS doesn't necessarily know about all the closures, so consider calling the front desk to get the latest info on detours.)

Wonderful breakfast, amazing happy hours, outstanding service from all the staff--it all added up to a comfortable, memorable stay in a great city.

NOTE: if you're driving, know that the parking area is tight. Totally do-able, but tight.

We had a great 4 day stay here. The setting is idyllic, nestled on a hill overlooking the town and harbor. The walk to town is only 5 minutes ( it does require walking up down and then back up a small bit steep hill) making it the perfect location. The staff is very friendly and very accommodating. This boutique hotel is in a Victorian house from the late eighteenth hundreds and is well appointed. The rooms are large and comfortably furnished. The breakfasts were very good and there was wine and canapés every evening.
The perfect place to stay!
