Top Drift Bay Hotel Reviews

Copthorne Hotel and Apartments Queenstown Lakeview

8/10 Good

"Great hotel nice big rooms but dated. Balcony was water logged so had to enjoy the fantastic view from the room."

voco Queenstown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our corner room had an amazing view of the mountains and gondola. The room was very comfortable and everything was very clean. I have to give a shoutout to the dining room hostess, Shaila, as her service was outstanding. She is clearly a hard worker and always greeted us each morning for breakfast, making us feel very welcome. The lobby of the hotel was beautifully decorated and the front wall of glass really gave us a great view outside."

Holiday Inn Queenstown Remarkables Park by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very welcoming staff. Lovely evening meal even though we arrived not long before restaurant closed. Rooms clean and quiet. Lovely view to wake up to"

Rendezvous Heritage Hotel Queenstown

8/10 Good

"Have stayed at this hotel quite a few years ago and remember liking the peaceful location. It’s a pleasant 20-25 minute walk along the lake into Queenstown township, which means it’s close enough to be comfortable and far away enough to be quiet. Just bear in mind the last 10 minutes of the walk back to the hotel are extremely steep. However, this works wonders in walking off your dinner on the way home. The lake view rooms with balcony are especially nice and relaxing. Only issue we experienced was a potent smell of sewerage at certain times of the day when the balcony doors were open."

Pinewood Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, it was fine, but the water temperature kept fluctuating between hot and cold while I was showering."

La Quinta by Wyndham Remarkables Park Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve booked this place a few times during my stay in Queenstown. Apartment is always clean, staff is friendly and helpful. My room had a big smart TV on an adjustable arm which is a bonus. I love the location, everything is a few minutes drive away."

Highview Apartments

8/10 Good

"Lovely friendly front desk. Short walk into town- downhill. Steeper walk back !! Place exactly as described. Nice lake view. Well equipped room and very spacious. Free car parking some under cover. We had a good stay."

Mi-pad Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great stay. Being on a central location made the walk to the waterfront very accessible. Great amenities, a room full of board games, coffee machines and wonderful views from the deck!"
