5-Star Hotels in Otago, New Zealand

We were thrilled to be the very first guests to leave a review for this stunning new resort! The location is fantastic, just a quick 10-minute drive to town, and our room offered breathtaking views of the Shot River, creating a truly relaxing atmosphere. We arrived around 10 PM, and the hotel reception was impeccably prepared, warmly welcoming us and even upgrading our room! It looked exactly like the photos, with a design and interior that perfectly captured the vibe we were seeking. They had welcome drinks waiting for us, and we appreciated that milk was available on request at any time. The breakfast was a delightful a la carte experience, featuring an array of delicious options. The serving staff was not only attentive and kind but also provided excellent recommendations for nearby restaurants! We also indulged in room service, which exceeded our expectations in both taste and punctuality. Although the fitness room and movie room were still under construction, the small maintenance issue we encountered in the bathroom was addressed swiftly by the staff. Our stay has left us eager to return and see the final results of this new gem. I highly recommend this resort to everyone!

I was staying with my daughter here. Its close to the city centre just a few minutes of walk. Hotel itself was very beautiful. They had tit bits morning, evening and night at the entrance for their patrons to enjoy. Loved the view of the lake outside our window. Housekeeping was extremely thoughtful. They also sent us complementary milk and chocolate to make our hot chocolate at night. Loved it!

This Queenstown trip involved three nights at different hotels due to tight availability: Queenstown Park Boutique Hotel, Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central, and Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa. Park Boutique left the deepest impression. Though not downtown, its location was perfect—quiet and peaceful, yet just a 5-minute walk to the town center. The service was exceptionally warm and attentive, with a nightly wine tasting salon. Breakfast featured a partial buffet with main courses ordered à la carte. However, each guest could only order their main course once. Ideally, a second order could be offered for an additional fee, allowing larger groups to sample more dishes. The best part was the practical facilities: a small kitchen, a bathroom with separate wet and dry zones, and a mattress that was perfectly firm and comfortable. Surprisingly, there was even a fireplace, adding warmth to slightly chilly evenings. In short, if you're heading to Queenstown for a relaxing getaway, Park Boutique is the ideal place to stay.

One of our favourite stays in Queenstown! ❤️ The resort has a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere with beautiful lake and mountain views. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, and waking up to the scenery every morning really gives you that “New Zealand holiday” feeling. We also loved how quiet it feels compared with staying right in busy Queenstown town centre — perfect if you want to slow down, relax and enjoy the surroundings. ✨ Spacious & comfortable room 🏔️ Beautiful mountain & lake scenery 🧖♀️ Relaxing resort & spa atmosphere ❤️ Great for couples and a peaceful getaway The only thing to consider is the location — it’s not right in Queenstown town centre, so you’ll need to drive or take the water taxi. Overall: 9/10 ⭐️ Would definitely stay here again for the view and relaxing resort experience.

Fantastic location, right outside the hotel you're greeted with Queenstown's stunning lake and mountain views. The room was clean, comfortable, and had an amazing view. The service was warm and attentive, making for a very pleasant stay. Staying here when visiting Queenstown is definitely worth it!

The Ebb Dunedin is an architectural gem with beautiful art, comfortable rooms, and incredible attention to detail. Our experience however, was an overpriced hotel (500+ per night) for the service received. We arrived just 30 minutes before the 3:00 PM check-in, and despite our room being ready, we were referred to the mall across the street when we asked to use the toilet. For this price, being sent to a public shopping center is unacceptable. The parking was also an additional 25 per night, on top of the steep room fee. You’re paying for the aesthetic here, but certainly not for the hospitality unfortunately.

This hotel, nestled by the lake, offers breathtaking lake and snow-capped mountain views – a true feast for the eyes. Its location is excellent; while a bit further from the town center, it's an easy drive, and the hotel provides a convenient shuttle service by appointment. The staff are friendly and professional; the front desk warmly welcomed us, and there's a thoughtful baggage service. Our server was also very kind and enthusiastic. The lake-view room had a spacious balcony that offered fantastic vistas; we even managed to photograph shooting stars during our two-night stay. Breakfast was primarily Western style. We rented a car, and parking at the hotel was free. The room was clean and tidy. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Queenstown.

This is the hotel I can't wait to write a review for. It is located near the Queenstown Botanical Gardens, outside the city center, and is quiet in the bustling city. I especially like the hotel's facilities and services: First of all, I called in advance to inform the itinerary, but I didn't expect that I would be arranged to check in early, which increased my time for sightseeing as I only had one day in Queenstown; secondly, the room is large, beautiful and smells good; the hotel not only provides free snacks and drinks, Nespresso coffee machines, triangular tea bags, and even milk is provided free of charge, but it is also the only hotel in New Zealand that provides toothbrushes and toothpaste; the TV channels are also complete, and you can watch Netflix, just say it's good or not; a small balcony overlooks the cherry blossoms and the night view of the town, just say it's worth it; happyhour provides wine; especially the front desk, enthusiastic, smiling, I feel very comfortable. I will choose to stay in this hotel in Queenstown for a few more nights on my second visit, so that I can visit the surrounding towns. I’m not good at translating above into English, but I do hope this hotel could keep providing superb and hospitalized facilities and I want to thank the staffs for their kindly and warmly permanence!

The hotel is right by Lake Wakatipu, so the location is excellent. We booked a suite with a lake view, and the room was very new and comfortable. However, the parking fee was a bit expensive at $40 a day.

The location of this hotel is very good. It is right in the center of the town and you can walk to the most beautiful shore in three minutes. Anyway, it's convenient to go anywhere. The only problem is that you may have to look for parking on the roadside. The hotel room is really big, and the equipment and speakers inside are very good. It's also close to a bar, so it's a bit noisy at night. Everything in the refrigerator is free except alcohol, and there are unlimited refills. For breakfast, it is beautifully prepared on site downstairs. I remember that the big breakfast was about 30 New Zealand dollars. It is worth commenting and worth staying at.
