"Wow! An amazing experience at a beautiful property, with outstanding service. We stayed for 2 nights at the end of our travels in NZ, and this was truly the highlight of our trip. The setting is stunning, the food is outstanding, and the room is beautiful. But the staff are what make the place really special. Over the years, we have stayed in excellent hotels around the world, and this one ranks among the best. Exclusive, exquisite, and refined. Highly recommended."

Top Lake Wakatipu Hotel Reviews

Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central

Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central

10/10 Excellent
"We had an issue with a payment of the accomodation which took the majority of our trip to resolve. It’s caused a fair amount of unnecessary stress but we were happy it was finally resolved. The hotel was really lovely, quite a walk up the hills from the city and the lake view room didn’t have much of a view as huge steel piers in rooms for quakes. Very good value for money."
