Top South Island Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Queenstown Remarkables Park by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay!"

La Quinta by Wyndham Remarkables Park Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"The property is well situated except that it is not on the Bus route. Very clean facilities. Beds made daily. Tea & Coffee tray stocked up every day. Impressed with the shower draining freely as this is a matter of concern for us. Will try & stay here again on our annual pilgrimage to Queenstown (ZQN)"

Airport Gateway Christchurch

10/10 Excellent

"Room was large and clean, underfloor heating in bathroom, and heated towel rail. Room includes a kitchenette which was well appointed. Restaurant meal was excellent and high quality, saved looking for a place to eat. Free shuttle service to and from the motel to the airport was an excellent service. Would definitely recommend this motel."

Pinewood Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"We would definitely stay at Pinewood again. Our only issue was that we didn't have anywhere to hang our wedding attire. Luckily I had my own hangers so I hung them on the bunk bars. However my other companions didn't. Loved the shower and the beds were so comfortable and warm. The staff were so helpful and happy. Cool place."
