      Great Location, Great Rooms & Great Price”

      Close to city, clean, spacious rooms, well heated

      We stayed at Shotover Lodge for 3 days in August 2011. The hotel is located about 5kms from Queenstown city. Our room was spacious and really clean. There were plenty of things to around the hotel as well. The hotel had a kitchen and a laundry and we found them to be very convenient. However, the view was not that great when compared to some other places in Queenstown.

      it takes only few minutes of driving from Queenstown. The room is big and clean; and the area around is quiet. The lodge has a communal kitchen and you can use it to prepare your meal. Rather staying at Queenstown, I will definitely recommend staying at Shotover Lodge.

We were very satisfied with the hotel during our stay and we couldn't fault the place for value. Would recommend to others looking for a budget place on be outskirts of Queenstown.

      Shotover lodge located quite far from the city center, so recommended to have your own transportation if choosing to stay here. Anyway, the plus points are: - nice & clean bedroom, with sofa & lcd - super complete kitchen + kitchenet at your room - clean bathroom on your own - cheap value compared to your stay - nice services from staffs Surely will choose to stay here again.

      I only stayed a week in Queenstown, and this was only a little more expensive than a hostel for the deal I was getting, but the experience was 100 times better than what I would've gotten. It's right next to the bus stop heading into Queenstown (about a 15 min ride), the staff were all super friendly, maid service was very nice, and just having my own comfortable room and bathroom was a fantastic plus. Definitely recommend!

      Not a bad stay all in.”

      Spacious and large room, clean bathroom, nice to be able to park right outside the room

      Returning guest to Shotover lodge...Ideal location as it's not right in the town. Room was clean, bathroom sparkling, however the carpet had alot of stains on it which was rather off-putting (it looked damn right filthy, however it had been hoovered). I could tell that housekeeping had attempted to clean the stains, but without luck. I don't see why hotels don't just charge the customers who made the stain and replace the carpet. Or hire an industrial carpet cleaner. I kept my shoes on the whole time in the room as I didn't want to walk on the carpet in socks or feet. Not sure whether I'll return.

      Reasonably priced, not very far from the city centre, close to sporting activities centre.

      We only had a short stay of one night. The room was reasonably big for three of us. Basic cooking facilities were available. This hotel is situated in a quiet surrounding at Arthur's Point. Water activities at the historical Shotover bridge is close by. Bungee jumping at Kawarau bridge is about 30 minutes away. Many trails for hiking close by the motel.

      Friendly Staff, Great Location, Very Tidy!”

      The studio room is very tidy, has all the amenities that we need. I’d say we would enjoy the place more if we are here for a few more nights. They have a lounge and a communal kitchen. 10-min drive from town and the views are awesome! 2-min walk to the Onsen Hot Pools which I’d say is a must try too. Will recommend to our friends and family and definitely our place in Queenstown :-)

      Great!”

      My boyfriend and I had a great stay at the lodge. It was the perfect location. Our room was big and spacious with a deck and nice view. We spent Christmas here and it was very enjoyable. Comfy bed, tv, private bathroom and mini fridge. The only downsides were that you had to pay for wifi, and we found black hair all over the comforter and blanket in bed. Everything else was spotless. Would definitely stay again!

      Comfortable Stay”

      Room Conditions, Quiet Surroundings, Away from town

      All in, our stay was for 5 consecutive nights over 2 separate bookings - one for a king studio and another for twin studio. But hotel responded to our special request and we were given king studio throughout our stay. Shower was good. Microwave and fridge is available. Daily housekeeping is available. However one of the downside is that the hotel is located about 8 minutes from Queenstown. If you have a car - no problem at all. Room conditions are good - no complains.

      This very well-designed modern lodge in a rural setting has everything to make a short or long-term stay perfect.Our twin room had a kitchenette and a sun-drenched balcony with table and chairs. If you seek company there is a fantastic communal kitchen and common room.

      New and clean but out of town”

      New, clean, private, gorgeous view from the windows

      We liked everything about it. Do note that it is at Arthur's Point, a 10-15 drive out of Queenstown so it helps if you have a car.
