Rendezvous Heritage Hotel Queenstown

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful location with plenty of nice hangout spaces and a fire in the reception area as well as in the bar/ restaurant. The lake with snowcapped mountains in the background is a stunning backdrop. The breakfast was exceptional but dinner not as much. We got a family suite with 2 bedrooms, a living area, and kitchen and it was just right. Hot tub wasn't very hot and was right under a very bright neon light- so not a great atmosphere there. But otherwise we really enjoyed this hotel. Maybe a bit expensive for what it is and parking was $15/ day, but would definitely consider staying again"

"we had a lake view room and really enjoyed our stay. the views were stunning and the doors/windows were nice and thick blocking most of the airplane/boat noise. the room was very spacious with we enjoyed the gas fireplace heater for added ambience. everything was clean and the staff were friendly. bathroom is a bit dated (cracked tiles, loose showerhead) but still overall would recommend and would stay again."
