Wow. Wow. Wow. I felt like a queen! This house has the most perfect view of Queenstown and the lake and i was in the incredible room with a bay window and HUGE bathroom. It was heavenly! I love boutique hotels but this was a few levels up! The food was delicious and breakfast choices were always new and fresh. I have a bad stomach and new zelanad food is so clean i could eat everything they served - through out all of new zealand too! c’mon beer and pizza! ha! back on topic - Hulbert houseis a fantastic and memorable place to stay! have them help you with tours and the outrageous spa where you take a hot bath with treats while seemingly hanging off the side of a steep mountain! I’ll never forget that either! Hulbert house - the room with the bay window overlooking queenstown is Honeymoon worthy! ha!
MMehwish ANice motel. Great views of the Lake and Remarkables from our room on the ground floor. Late check in was well-organised even without a reception in attendance. The room was well equipped with a mini kitchen (including a stove) and our issues were promptly handled by the reception/manager. Two drawbacks in the room: no safe and no telephone. Morgan (manager) was kind to help us out with keeping our valuables safe with her. On the latter, one had to run to the reception or call the reception during office hours through personal phones which I found a bit odd. On Day 1, we found our shower drain blocked but that was handled by Morgan the same day. By the time we were leaving, the drain was blocking again so hope the room service team will clear it for the next occupancy. We were confused with the room service provisioning though - some days we would receive a full service, some days basic - which is fine with us but a bit more communication would have been helpful. There is a self serve laundry which only takes coins so you’d need to have cash on hand that the reception will gladly barter for coins. The location is good, closer to the town centre and with a view. Public transport is also accessible. For people with physical limitations (which are rare QT visitors unlike us), the location is a bit challenging. All in all, a good place to stay in QT.
FFoodTravelLifeStaying at Blue Peak Apartments in Queenstown was a blast! The three-bedroom setup was just what we needed – enough space for everyone to spread out without stepping on each other's toes. Let's talk about the real game-changers: having a washing machine and dryer in the apartment was a godsend. No more lugging around a suitcase full of dirty laundry – major win! And that kitchen, complete with an oven, made whipping up meals a breeze. It felt like we brought our own little chef's paradise to Queenstown. Being close to the town center was a huge plus too. Park the car and take a leisurely stroll – that's my kind of vacation vibe. Blue Peak Apartments, you made our stay comfy and convenient.
If you don’t want a welcome, electricity, heating then this is the place to be! We arrived at about 17:15 and the reception was closed and opened up the next day at 09:30. Everything fine, we took the keys from the post box. The room was ice cold and we put the heating on. The heating just made noises all night and didn’t give any heat. There was a phone number available, but only for emergencies, if it wasn’t an emergency then the owner would charge you 50$. As we didn’t know if having no heating (which you would expect at a motel) was an emergency or not, we decided to sleep in the cold. The next day we told him about it and he gave us an electric heater. I also asked if he could change the full bins from their previous guests. The next evening the electricity was out. It took about an hour for it to be back… The room itself is outdated as the heating doesn’t work and there are scratches and stains on the walls and carpets. The cleanliness is ok. For the ‘show’ it seems clean, but whatever you do, do not look under the beds or behind cabinets! The location is good, it’s a 7 minute walk to the centre, but in all honesty you could probably find a better motel with a warm welcome and stuff that works.
Great location to get around on foot. Parking available too which was so useful and rare! Bed was too soft for us though. Appreciated salt and pepper availability and the cooking facilities. Perhaps could do with a fan for those warmer days.
