I had a great experience at Scenic Hotel. During check-in, the male staff member was extremely friendly and helpful. He gave me lots of useful information about the area, including the best places to eat, where to park, and tips for seeing the penguins. His local knowledge really helped make our trip easier and more enjoyable.
The next morning, after coming back late from travelling, I asked the reception if I could check out 15–20 minutes later. The staff member on morning reception was very cool, understanding, and friendly. She happily allowed the late checkout with no issues at all.
Overall, both staff members provided excellent service, and I really appreciated their kindness and helpful attitude. Highly recommend this hotel for both comfort and outstanding customer service!

We chose the Hilton again for our trip to Queenstown, New Zealand. While it's not right in the town center, transportation is super convenient. The hotel has its own water taxi that goes to and from the center daily. The first boat leaves at 8:15 AM, and then it's hourly after that. It costs 14 NZD per person and takes about 25 minutes. The last return trip is at 9:45 PM, and there's a timetable available at the front desk. The hotel is also only a ten-minute drive from the airport.
The hotel's setting and views are absolutely beautiful, right on the lake. You can take a lovely stroll along the lakeside in the mornings, and the restaurant is right there, so you can enjoy the lake view while you eat. The hotel has a Western restaurant, a bar and restaurant, and a coffee shop. The breakfast buffet is served in the Western restaurant and opens at 6 AM, which is great for guests who want to get an early start on their sightseeing. The food selection is comprehensive and tasty too! We had dinner at the Western restaurant on our first night and it was excellent, the steak was fantastic! The bar and restaurant is also good; on our last day, we got back late from our Milford Sound tour and just ordered pizza and beer at the bar. The pizza was absolutely delicious! The bar atmosphere was great too!
We booked a lake view king room, and the layout was nice, with full amenities. The hotel also has a pool, and the gym is open 24 hours. All in all, our stay and dining experience were very comfortable! Highly recommended!
The lakeside cottage is very beautiful and the room is clean, but it has a retro feel and everything is old. There is also a small drawback that you can't cook. But the restaurant next to it is delicious and worth a visit! The key point is that the room has a bathtub
The facilities were new and great, and the sleep was comfortable, but there are a few things that need improvement:
1️⃣ The water temperature at night wasn't good.
2️⃣ The Wi-Fi kept disconnecting and I couldn't even connect to it.
Parking costs 20 NZD per day.
Really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were lovely, right from reception, housekeeping to porters. As we had been travelling for a couple of weeks, having a laundry in the hotel was a lovely bonus. There were food places of all varieties within walking distance as well. Definitely recommend staying here
Got room 108, which was a pleasant surprise! The balcony opens right out to the lake and lawn, and the entire hotel is simply stunning. It's just a ten-minute walk to the 'lone tree'. The suite's amenities were very complete, and I even woke up early the next day to catch a glimpse of the golden snow-capped mountains. Next time I'm in Wanaka, I definitely need to stay a few more days!
The location is close to the airport but a bit far from the city center. The hygiene is good, and the front desk service is excellent. However, there are very few parking spaces, and you can only park in the green-marked areas. The elevator at the entrance to the parking lot was out of order, which made it difficult to carry luggage to the front desk.
Very roomy unit with all the facilities needed. Aircon was on at arrival so a comfortable start.
Bed was good, bathroom was good.
Not motels fault but people in next door unit stayed up late and were noisy.
We are staying at the motel again next week.
Very Good

A very beautiful hotel which needs a bit of uphill walk for about 15 mins from the town centre. There're no shops restaurants in the neighbourhood but one can eat at its restaurant or room service. The room itself is very spacious, clean, well equipped and our room overlooks the lake which is great. The pickup point for Milford Sound tour we joined is along the street in front of the hotel (Stanley Street). I tried the buffet breakfast which is so so with limited choices. Overall I love this hotel especially the price is great compared with other hotels at the very central location.
Very good location at the city centre and walking distance to the Queenstown bay , McDonald's and KFC . Next door is the gondola available.. bus station to airport only 5 min walking distance away.
Ideal location if you want to avoid town area. It’s near Deer Park. For parking, depends on your luck to get parallel parking which is free but limited space. There is plenty of space in paid parking. The bed and room is very comfortable. Small kitchen/pantry is fully equipped with all you need. I would love to stay longer. Don’t miss hotel cookies (complimentary gift), very delicious.
We were thrilled to be the very first guests to leave a review for this stunning new resort! The location is fantastic, just a quick 10-minute drive to town, and our room offered breathtaking views of the Shot River, creating a truly relaxing atmosphere. We arrived around 10 PM, and the hotel reception was impeccably prepared, warmly welcoming us and even upgrading our room! It looked exactly like the photos, with a design and interior that perfectly captured the vibe we were seeking. They had welcome drinks waiting for us, and we appreciated that milk was available on request at any time. The breakfast was a delightful a la carte experience, featuring an array of delicious options. The serving staff was not only attentive and kind but also provided excellent recommendations for nearby restaurants! We also indulged in room service, which exceeded our expectations in both taste and punctuality. Although the fitness room and movie room were still under construction, the small maintenance issue we encountered in the bathroom was addressed swiftly by the staff. Our stay has left us eager to return and see the final results of this new gem. I highly recommend this resort to everyone!
Nice place with central location of the Oamaru town, near Woolworth supermarket, some nice old-fashion places and beach. Nice to visit and grab photos. Hotel keeps original decoration you can feel warm with the fireplace and wooden furniture. But the room is clean with modern style.
Clean, comfortable hotel with nice views, good breakfast, and excellent location. Friendly service ensured a pleasant stay and convenient access to attractions.
Easy to find and within walking distance to the city center, but driving is easier during the evening when it is cold. Very helpful and nice people always at the reception. Free washing machine and dryer at the same building. Deck has a bit of view of the lake. Nothing to complain, except was not too sure the slippers were for re-use or not coz looked a bit dirty or not as white, so did not use them.
Lovely stay. Close to town. The room is a bit small but is comfortable. It is expensive, but everywhere is in Queenstown. This was the best location in New Zealand so I recommend staying at least 4 nights. The Queenstown hill is a beautiful hike near the hotel. Finz was my favourite restaurant for fish and Bespoke Kitchen is the best breakfast/ lunch brunch we found.
The front desk staff were very friendly, and all staff member we met inside was warm and welcoming. They explained everything clearly before we checked in. The price was very reasonable, and they even thoughtfully arranged a sea view room for our family. The room was well-equipped, and provide very nice breakfast . We were very satisfied with our stay! High recommended .👍👍👍👍👍
