Great Location in Queenstown!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 28 Dec 2023
Great location away from the hustle of the main town - but close enough for walking to cafes, things to see, etc. Rooms were spacious and well set out - three types - Forest, Waterfall and Lakeside views. Staff were friendly and attentive - had meals in the restaurant very yummy and reasonable prices.
Date of stay: December 2023
Room Tip: Great walk down to Queenstown and alongside the lake.
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

Good hotel just away from the clutter of the town but walkable or quick bus service from outside the building. Staff and breakfast excellent. Room was large enough. Reasonable sized pool. Try and get a lakeside room.

The kitchen cooked eggs--fried, boiled, or poached--to order. A nice break from the rubbery scrambled eggs that grace very breakfast buffet I've ever bee to.
Guest self-service laundry, although the dryer took forever to get clothes dry.
A bit far from the centre of Queenstown, although there was a bus running at 15-minute frequency in the day time and half-hourly in the evening.
Room was comfortable and quiet.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Heritage was the pick of our tour arranger, and they could have done a lot worse.

The Hotel sits right at the side of the lake so we really had a room with a view.
We had dinner and breakfast included and food was fine, waiters nice but they need education in how and when to clear plates.
We can recommend this place for a few nights stay.

Stayed here for 3 nights whilst we explored the Queenstown area. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Parking is free and beneath the hotel - spaces are generous so accommodated the hire car well. The hotel is about a 20min walk downhill into town or a $15 taxi ride if you didn’t fancy the steep uphill return! Queenstown is having water quality issues and we were given water bottles refillable at the water station at reception. Breakfast was very good with wide selection of options. We did order room service one evening and it was prompt and tasty and had the same selection as dining in. We were impressed with the quality. The only improvement I would suggest was a mirror that had a plug point next to it for hair drying. It would free up the bathroom which as a family sharing one room would help! Overall though a comfortable and relaxed stay!

Queenstown was our favourite stop on our North & South Island tour and the Heritage one of our favourite hotels. It’s slightly out of town (15 mins walk to the centre) but has great views of the lake, although our room looked out on the trees and stream at the back. The only reason for not giving it five * was the poor wifi (I can slightly sympathise as it’s a big, spread out estate) and the slightly drab bar area. The room was a good size with a nice bathroom with both bath and shower (not always the case in NZ in our experience). Helpful reception and concierge. The only slight surprise is that access to reception is via some quite steep steps, but painful with luggage. If you were in a wheelchair you would have to go round the back and enter by the bar.
Would certainly stay here again.

Room tip: Try and get lake view room
