Shotover Lodge

Great value stay just a bit outside the town. Some rooms have mountain view and staff are friendly and helpful. We arrived 2 hours befor the standard check-in time but since our room was ready the reception were happy to do early check-in for us. Thanks again. Cheers :)

Room was clean and well organised. However we could hear people above and beside us using the bathroom and shower. Was also a bit weird getting into the room. It had a nice sliding door to the outside patio area but you couldnt lock it, which was frustrating because you could park right outside but had to walk all the way through the weird corridors to get to your room.

Room was nice but common areas/hallways were a bit unclean. Everything was fine for what I needed but a bit disappointed that my west-facing room got tons of hot afternoon sun, raising it up to uncomfortable levels and no air circulation or AC to cool it down

Oh where to start!? The lodge is at the base of My Cook. The view I had from the window was one of the most beautiful I ever seen! The lodge had room service! The room was nice and cozy, with our own bathroom! Resuming, one of the best places I have ever been... The mountaineer cafe is 2 min walk from here. Rabbits outside in the grass... Amazing tracks.... Oh I cannot write all, cause it would never end

On our last night there we found bed bugs. I took a photo and showed the staff. We were told they'd clean the room and give us a new one but we said we'd prefer a refund and would find another motel.We were then told there was an issue with the refund and we would have to speak to the manager. The manager called us saying he'd refund the last night but not the two others. We were accused of faking it as it was supposedly too convenient we found these bugs on our last night and then demanded a refund.We were told to provide proof so again we had to show the photo and were eventually given a full refund.Doesn't change the fact ALL our luggage is possibly infected and we are currently having to get rid of these bugs from hell. Going to end up ruining all of our clothes but the manager had the biggest issue with providing a refund.Only recommend if you feel like washing all ur clothes in hot water then putting them through a hot dryer and spraying, vacuuming and throwing away the rest of ur belongings.

It's a warm and hospitable place where you can find accomodation for as little as 95 dollars a night. The manager and the whole support team is amazing. Rooms with good carpet area and wide open spaces allow you to enjoy nature at its fullest. Whether you are looking for short term or long term stay, this place is ideal. The bus stop is right opposite the lodge making transit easy.

Great place. I like it because it's not in the noise of Queenstown. Easy access to Queenstown, Coronet Peak and Arrowtown. The hot pools are across the road and bowling is next door. Easy enough to save money on meals by cooking in the kitchen here. Parking can be a bit of a pain if you are arriving late but we easily parked on the road and had no issues at all.

Their suits are clean and spacious. The communal kitchen is equipped with commercial equipments. It was nice to have chances to cook our own meals during a long trip. The rate was a bargain. The reason for only 4 stars is because there is no lift/elevator in their three story building. We have to carry our luggages up and down the stairs. I would recommend to stay on the first floor for people carrying their ski equipments.

Love our stay there. I was first a bit indecisive in choosing to stay in the city or a bit away from the city and I'm so glad we chose to stay a bit away from the city. The car park situation in the Queenstown city is a big headache.The lodge is tucked away just 6km away from the city which is just nice to give you that tranquillity of nature. Just look at that view! Near to shotover river, coronet peak and arrowtown.Would highly recommend staying here if you've got a car. Its very cheap too given its a studio apartment. Wifi is unlimited and good connection, never had any issue. Staffs are friendly. One thing that can be improved is the kitchen cleanliness.Would definitely stay here again whenever visiting Queenstown.

Average at best. The rooms were not great. The lobby was locked when we got in around 10pm to check in. Had to walk around shouting hello!" Until the one staff member heard me from somewhere. The rooms were OK. The parking lot was really packed and I had a spot somewhat far away on the gravel during the rain. The location is about 15-20 minutes outside the city center."
