"Hotel with nice history, beatiful garden and relax zone. In the hotel you can find bar and restaurant with nice food and fireplace. For guests is also available hot tub. Room itself was small, with very old tv and basic facilities. It would be nice if the windows are clean also from outside because having birds dropping decrease guests general feeling about the room."

Really easy and useful for a fast checkin and checkout. I would stay there again."

"First 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."

"This was the worst hotel we stayed at during our South Island trip, which might be due to its low price. We booked it for one night because it was right across from the Onsen hot springs we had planned to visit. Firstly, I was really unhappy with the cleanliness. Maybe it's because the facilities are old, but the whole room felt dirty, especially the bathroom. The toilet even had issues. Secondly, it got very cold at night, and the heating unit was incredibly noisy. Plus, this was the only hotel on our entire trip that charged a $100 deposit, and it still hasn't been refunded by the end of our trip. When I called the front desk, they said it would take 7 business days, which is completely unreasonable!"

"The hotel itself is a bit dated, but the room condition was acceptable. However, on the day we checked in, we found that the trash from the previous guest hadn't been emptied, and some of their belongings were still in the room. The hotel charges an additional $25 for parking, but street parking is free after 6 PM. The complimentary breakfast had very limited options and the food was quite salty."

The location was nice, with it being only an 8 minutes walk into town centre. The kitchen was clean enough for us and so are the bathrooms. However, the wifi was not so great. We had to use our own mobile data, but if you're fine with that then it's a good place for a short stay, which was the case for us considering if you're planning to be out travelling for most of the day anyways. The staffs were all also very lovely and helpful.

This was a very clean and comfortable hostel. Even though it's a dormitory, the beds offered a good sense of privacy, which made my stay very reassuring. The location is incredibly convenient, right in the center of Queenstown, perfect for sightseeing and dining out. The common areas and kitchen facilities were well-equipped, and the staff were very friendly. I highly recommend it, especially for solo travelers. I would definitely want to stay here again if I come back to Queenstown!

Located on a city street, with various shops nearby. The front desk is staffed from 2 PM onwards. It's a 3-minute walk to Lake Wanaka, and about a 25-minute leisurely stroll to the Lone Tree. Enjoying the natural scenery along the way in the early morning is very pleasant and comfortable. If you want to stargaze at night, even walking to the nearby lake, you'll still be affected by the brightness of the streetlights. It's next to a large supermarket and a 5-minute walk to the food truck park, making it convenient for finding food. There are fewer parking spaces than rooms, so if the lot is full upon arrival, you'll need to park in a nearby park, and be mindful of the paid parking hours. The room has a sofa, a full dining table and chairs, a bar, and a basic kitchenette. However, the pot had food residue, which made us question the overall cleanliness of the utensils and made us hesitant to use them. The fixed showerhead in the bathroom was a bit inconvenient, and the room's brightness was dimmer than shown in the photos.

It’s a vintage hotel, I’m surprised with the lift which is very old type of lift, the design very pretty and retro. Room is quite spacious for 4 adults. The heater is very powerful and strong. The hotel is located near to the town center and precinct street, just a few minutes of walk can reach.

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

AUGuest User
The condition of the property upon our arrival was unacceptable, falling well below basic standards of cleanliness, safety, and comfort. Throughout our stay, we encountered multiple significant issues across the property: The dishwasher was completely full of standing, stagnant water upon our arrival, rendering it unusable until cleared. The cookware provided was filthy, with greasy, burnt-on residue on the pans that required scrubbing before use of which there were no cleaning products provided until asked for. There are visible holes in the walls in the home. More concerningly, bathroom light fixtures were loose and visibly hanging/falling out from the ceiling, which presents a genuine safety hazard. The general cleanliness was poor. In the bathrooms, the ceiling and roof lining showed noticeable dirt and grime build-up. The lounge suites are ripped, worn out, and actively falling apart, offering neither aesthetic appeal nor basic comfort. Furthermore, the beds were extremely uncomfortable, severely impacting our ability to sleep throughout the four nights.

Even though I arrived after check-in hours, I was able to self check-in, which was great. The hotel's right by the lake, so waking up to such a beautiful view every morning was amazing. Plus, there's a sauna, making the location absolutely perfect! The only downsides were the shower room, water pressure, and kitchen, which were a bit disappointing.

Law Courts Hotel

I stayed at the Law Courts Hotel recently, and it was a bit of a mixed experience. The building is very old and hasn’t had much renovation. The bathroom still has those separate hot and cold taps, which are inconvenient, and the carpet looked quite worn and not very clean—it definitely feels like the place could use some updating. That said, the location is fantastic—right in the heart of Dunedin, so it’s super convenient for getting around. It’s also very affordable, which is a big plus if you’re on a budget. Just keep in mind that being so central means it can be noisy; Saturday night, in particular, was hard to sleep through with all the street noise. Overall, if you’re after a budget-friendly place in a great location and don’t mind the quirks of an older hotel, it’s worth considering. But if you’re looking for something more modern and comfortable, you might want to look elsewhere.
