We were upgraded to a room with a mountain view (and a wee sneak peak of the lake). We were super happy with the location of the hotel and the friendliness of the staff - they were AMAZING! Honestly, the check in staff, the cleaning staff in the corridors, the bar staff - everyone had a smile on their face and was happy to see you. I would highly recommend this hotel to stay in. Super close to the town, so easy to access everything!

View was incredible, location was close enough to everything while still being away from city noise. Free transfer into town was helpful, although a car would be needed for getting anywhere else.

I spent quite a bit of time around downtown Queenstown.
I spent quite a bit of time around downtown Queenstown. It was very easy to get around and the people were quite friendly and helpful.
I ate at the "Boardwalk" and "Flame" -- both on the wharf side. I was disappointed in the food at the Flame (pork ribs), and also that the waiters didn't explain how large a portion I was ordering. In many NZ restaurants, you have a choice of ordering a "Main" or "Entree" portion. I enjoyed eating at the Boardwalk more.
The scenery is exceptionally beautiful there and the energy of the town was incredible to experience! I'm so glad I decided to visit Queenstown!

This was our fourth visit to Queenstown from Auckland, and the 3rd time staying at the Heritage Hotel. Because there are numerous road works around the town at present( May 2024) and also having to pay for parking everywhere we found it easier to go in by bus and leave the car at the Hotel which gave us more freedom to walk, sight see and get around.
There are an abundance of eateries around Queenstown. Pog Mahones Irish pub. Eriks fish and chips food truck, and of course the famous Fers burgers. A short drive by car or on the bus is the the new shopping centre at Franklin not far from the airport , which takes around 15 mins, where we had lunch at Billy`s cafe, and also lunch at the Coffee club.
In Queenstown, we took the Lunch time cruise on the Earnslaw steamboat up to Walter peak sheep station. Beautiful lunch and scenery.
walked around the Botanical gardens.
Its a lovely drive by car or bus to Arrowtown you can go one way and return via lake Hayes. While there pop into the Fork and tap pub.

The traffic management situation is problematic.
The traffic management situation is problematic. Queenstown seems to be overloved causing traffic issues which are exacerbated by road works all over the place. Don’t expect to solve the parking riddle easily.
Apart from these issues Queenstown is great place with great scenery and a good vibe.

Beautiful landscapes and scenery, lot of places to try different foods and activities to do and Queenstown is a stones throw away from the outer towns e.g. Cardrona, Wanaka, Cromwell, Arrowtown which we visited. Definitely worth a visit and the drive and scenary were spectacular. We went on two jet boat rides, to the Onsen Spas and up the Gondala for dinner at the Stratosphere Restaurant (food was great but it was very busy). Had our first Ferg Burger which was delish!! Overall, a great trip!!

We loved our 4 day trip to Queenstown, and the surrounding region, had a wander around Arrowtown, lunch at the Fork & Tap Pub was squid and cheeseboard was it was delicious. We caught up with family that have recently moved to Cromwell and loved seeing this area. We enjoyed a drive through to Wanaka around the stunning homes being built there, in the evening we enjoyed dinner at Blu Kanu, we had the chef selection and it was exceptional, we are still talking about it. We had lunch at Ayrburn at the Manure Shed (seriously) we enjoyed the wine tasting and another lovely cheeseboard, not as good as Fork & Tap, but still excellent and the surroundings are out of this world gorgeous We enjoyed a drive through to Glenorchy, we also had dinner at Botswana Butchery which always delvers an amazing level of service. A truely relaxing break away from Auckland. Even though our accommodation was not perfect, we were not there much and loved every minute in Queenstown.

This place has a really good vibe.
This place has a really good vibe. The people are so friendly. There is plenty to do here. The views over the lake are absolutely stunning.
It is a must to visit Queenstown if you are travelling to New Zealand!!
This is such a cool and unique place to stay. I chose it for the location (between Frankton and Queenstown) but was blown away by the aesthetic and the vibe of the Sherwood complex. The sustainability elements are so unique, adn the story of how they renovated this accommodation is brilliant. The cost is moderate - there are cheaper places in Queenstown but this isn't a generic hotel. The restaurant is pretty exceptional - breakfast was lovely and not very expensive. I will return when I am next in Queenstown.
Level 6 balcony. (Fire place for colder days)
Social rooms looked good and had potential if wanted to stay in with groups.
Staff friendly.
Vending machines (free tea, coffee, choc milk); plus paid snacks was convenient.
Sanitizer etc
Ghd straighteners and hairdryer.
Central location, 6 minute walk to Fergs.
Less expensive than larger hotels (but compact room).
Close enough to restaurants and bars that didn't matter that no restaurants in-house.
the location very close to town,, stations,, restaurants, tour agency ,, shops, bus lane etc in short very accessible to everywhere just a walk distance.
and I like the fact that the pod is private
very clean and people stay in and staff are decent.. not as cheap as other hostel but the rate will meet your expectation.. still affordable.. I will definitely stay here again if I go back to Queenstown
The room was very clean, quiet and comfortable. The restaurant was wonderful in terms of the service and quality of the food. I would recommend this Hotel to anyone wanting a comfortable stay close to the city and Frankton. The staff couldn't do enough to help us as well! 10 out 10 to everyone at Holiday Inn, Frankton Road, Queenstown New Zealand! Also very close to the airport. 💖😊💖
The view from our room is amazingly beautiful. There is a daily housekeeping services included. You wake up and have a nice hot coffee or chocolate outside your room is a perfect relaxation moment for me. The location of the place is perfect. Less than 5mins driving or 15mins walking to the town centre of Queenstown and to the airport. The location is very accessible.
Great location in central Queenstown on the waterfront, can’t really ask for better. Exceptional service, at check in and check out, our room was ready early which was incredible. We had a really nice warm room with a comfy bed and a good view of the skyline, loved the balcony. Great parking options for a relatively cheap price.
Clean, comfortable, well sized and well equipped room. Hotel restaurant was also very good.
Well located to Queenstown centre and other attractions. Shopping centre, restaurants and cafes within walking distance were excellent. In fact probably better than available in Queenstown but missing the glorious views!
Great location, a quiet neighbourhood and only a couple of minutes by car from the centre of Queenstown. If you want to walk into town this is not the place, but if you want to be away from the noise & traffic it's perfect. Great communication from the host, who quickly resolved a minor issue for us.
Rooms are very spacious and the bed is very comfortable. Bathroom is also quite big with a bath and a separate shower.
Staff was very helpful.
It was only a short walk from the accommodation to Queenstown city centre with a lot of restaurants and bars. Hotel has a restaurant themselves as well.
Car parking was free. I wish I hadn't let this guide my choice of accommodation as there are similar priced budget hotels closer to the centre of Queenstown but didn't go with them because of the parking. The room was clean when we arrived. Within walking distance of the centre of Queenstown .
Location was very central and walking distance to Queenstown city centre.
Parking directly in front of the unit was also very convenient.
Front of house staff were extremely helpful in resolving a booking error, and we were able to book another room on the spot.
The accomodation is very near to town centre, room was big, clean and comfortable with a nice spa bath and a small kitchenette.
Cheaper that most of the accomodation in the super overpriced Queenstown.
Nice to have a 4-5 star hotel in Queenstown that isn’t run down. Modern with a great location. One of the cheapest hotels which also included breakfast. Highly recommend.
