I had a truly wonderful stay at this retreat. The place itself is absolutely spectacular — very calming, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by breathtaking views. The deck is stunning, and it was the perfect spot to relax and unwind.
The owners were exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and looked after throughout my stay. Their hospitality genuinely stood out. The dogs were lovely and added so much warmth to the experience. Breakfast was excellent, and the variety of teas available was out of this world.
As a female solo traveller, I felt completely safe, comfortable, and well cared for, which is something I value highly. The atmosphere is peaceful and nurturing — exactly what you want from a retreat.
The only minor downside is that it’s a bit far from the shops (around a one-hour walk). However, this was easily managed as Uber is only a 6-minute drive, and the hosts were also kind enough to offer lifts when possible.
Overall, an absolutely stunning place, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable stay

Anonymous UserThe place was spacious, had a sofa that was so suitable for both laying down and sitting down all together as a family, loved it with the dinner table, the kitchen, the fridge and all the other cooking appliances with a gas stove, loved this. The bathroom was really clean and luxurious, did not expect the shower stall to have a curved door, haha. The master bedroom was cozy big and the children's bedroom caught me off guard with the size, two bunker beds and still even more space? Definitely amazing. Good TV and great internet, loved it how there was barely any weird fluctuations. Great for online games. Aside from the place, I rented the fun bikes for an hour, super enjoyable, had so much unexpected fun.

A lodge on hill level hence a wonderful view on the other side of the mountain and the Queenstown Skyline. The city centre was also near.
Friendly staff. Thanks for the car parking made available!
The price including breakfast was a wonderful arrangement! We just love it. It let us be more productive with more time available on our side.
Thanks.

This hotel offers free parking, which is a huge plus. During New Zealand's winter, the heating lamp in the bathroom makes it feel much warmer, which is really nice. The breakfast was decent, and the yogurt was quite tasty.

Wanho KimThe room was clean and the water pressure was good. Best of all, it's close enough to Queenstown city center to walk everywhere, which was really convenient. Parking was also easy, and I liked being able to watch TV and cook in the lounge area with a kitchen. Definitely a recommended place to stay.

Fabio’s CocoonDisappointing compared to other hostels in New Zealand
I stayed two nights at Pinewood Lodge and, unfortunately, it was one of my least favorite hostels during my trip to New Zealand.
The main issue was the lack of facilities for the number of guests. There were only two toilets and two showers for about a dozen people, which often led to waiting times.
The kitchen is very small, with little space to store food (practically only the refrigerator) and a rather limited selection of utensils and cooking equipment.
The room was also very cold, despite the heating being turned up to maximum, which didn't make for very comfortable nights.
The location is decent, but for my part, I'm glad I only stayed two nights. Given my experience in many other hostels in New Zealand, this one is unfortunately not among those I would prioritize recommending.

Guest UserIf you use Google Maps, remember to select the pedestrian path for directions. Otherwise, it may guide you to an abandoned house.
The view from the dining room was nice, but we found some short blond hairs on the bed. We weren't too concerned about it, but others might be.
The breakfast is quite Western—bread and jam, with milk or yogurt.
It's a nice place, suitable for a short nap before takeoff.
Nearby Saddle Hill is a great spot for viewing the Southern Lights if the timing is right.
You could also ask John for local tips—he might know the best viewing spots.
Thanks again to John for his hospitality!

Guest UserThe castle is very big and you can see the sea. It is a very good experience. You can choose your own buffet breakfast. I recommend the Lanark breakfast. Guests staying in the hotel can participate in the castle dinner. It is also great value for money. I will go there again if I have the chance.

Karn zhuFirst off, this is an RV park, not a hotel. We stayed here for two nights while self-driving around the South Island. The three of us squeezed into a tiny room, and the toilet was a few minutes' walk outdoors. Plus, you had to rent kitchenware like pots and pans for an extra 10 dollars a day.
