10/10 Excellent

During our 7-day stay, waking up each morning to see the sunlight hitting Deer Park Heights across the lake was a highlight. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the atmosphere is quite peaceful. While the location is a bit outside the town center, the hotel provides a very convenient and punctual hourly shuttle. This was a huge plus, as it saved us from the stress of driving and hunting for parking in town. The staff were incredibly friendly and patient with all our requests—overall, a...

It was the most wonderful start to our holiday in New Zealand. The Dairy Private Hotel was our first stop in Queenstown. It is a 200m walk into town and the location can’t be more perfect as it is still very peaceful and quiet at night. What stood out is the service of the staff. On the first day of my stay I was a little disappointed to find out there was no bathtub in my room. On the next day during breakfast one of the lovely staff (whom i Forgot to take his name) told me they’ve arranged...

Had an excellent stay for 3 nights. The room was spacious and comfortable and had great view of the beach. The location was great as it was within walking distance to the town centre where there were plentiful options for dining, shopping and relaxation. The room had washing machine and dryer too, which was very useful. Absolutely nothing to fault! This ranked as my top two accommodations I had stayed throughout my 3 weeks visit in NZ.
