Top Southland Hotel Reviews

QT Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"All the lovely small touches really set the QT apart from other hotels. Very helpful and attentive staff who make sure your stay is fantastic. Great location in Queenstown too. Would highly recommend the QT as a upmarket and unique place to stay!"

Rendezvous Heritage Hotel Queenstown

8/10 Good

"The property needs some TLC, adequate is the best word to describe it. Our room had the most amazing view. It’s a 25 minute walk into the main centre and it’s up a hill on the way back. There is a bus that runs every 10/15 mins to the centre for those who don’t feel like the walk. The bus stop is just outside the hotel. We loved where the hotel was and the staff were brilliant."

Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central

8/10 Good

"Great position and easy walk into town, Room was clean and we had a great view of the lake, parking is definitely an issue and with very limited parking at the accommodation you don't have a lot of options so it's pot luck at finding somewhere to park, book parking at accommodation early."

Te Anau Top 10 Holiday Park

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was fantastic. Restaurants and shops were just a short walk away, making it very convenient. The amenities were good, and having a laundry room on-site was a definite plus. Shared kitchen was clean. Overall, a wonderful place to stay!"
