3-Star Hotels in Otago, New Zealand

The standalone room was outside the main building, which made going to the bathroom at night a bit inconvenient. However, the atmosphere was really nice and the facilities were complete. It's a little bit out of Queenstown city center, but still quite close. The front desk staff member was very detailed in his explanations.

The surroundings are beautiful! Transportation is incredibly convenient, with direct access via Airport Bus Route 1. It's right next to Queenstown's most bustling area, and there's a large supermarket nearby for groceries. Plus, there are two kitchens available for use. Excellent value for money. Perfect for solo travelers.

This was a very clean and comfortable hostel. Even though it's a dormitory, the beds offered a good sense of privacy, which made my stay very reassuring. The location is incredibly convenient, right in the center of Queenstown, perfect for sightseeing and dining out. The common areas and kitchen facilities were well-equipped, and the staff were very friendly. I highly recommend it, especially for solo travelers. I would definitely want to stay here again if I come back to Queenstown!

At first glance, the place seems lovely and inviting. However, on closer inspection, there are quite a few maintenance issues that need attention. Several lights weren’t working (only about 2 out of 5), the carpet wasn’t as clean as it initially appeared, and there was mould in the shower. There are also signs of wear such as plastering around the sink, and the hairdryer made an unhealthy noise when used. The toilet bolts were loose, which was concerning. The bathroom lacks an extractor fan, so it becomes very steamy. The shower head is quite small with low pressure. While there is an outdoor area, it doesn’t offer much privacy as the motel is right on the road. Parking is available on-site, which is a plus, but there are no laundry facilities. There is a makeshift kitchenette with a toaster, microwave, kettle, fridge, and basic cutlery and crockery. However, it’s not suitable for cooking proper meals, and the lack of a sink makes washing up or even filling the kettle inconvenient. On the positive side, the location is excellent—right next to a New World supermarket and very central. Overall, the place is reasonably clean, tidy, and comfortable, but it would benefit from some maintenance.

Nice place with central location of the Oamaru town, near Woolworth supermarket, some nice old-fashion places and beach. Nice to visit and grab photos. Hotel keeps original decoration you can feel warm with the fireplace and wooden furniture. But the room is clean with modern style.

I had a truly wonderful stay at this retreat. The place itself is absolutely spectacular — very calming, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by breathtaking views. The deck is stunning, and it was the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The owners were exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and looked after throughout my stay. Their hospitality genuinely stood out. The dogs were lovely and added so much warmth to the experience. Breakfast was excellent, and the variety of teas available was out of this world. As a female solo traveller, I felt completely safe, comfortable, and well cared for, which is something I value highly. The atmosphere is peaceful and nurturing — exactly what you want from a retreat. The only minor downside is that it’s a bit far from the shops (around a one-hour walk). However, this was easily managed as Uber is only a 6-minute drive, and the hosts were also kind enough to offer lifts when possible. Overall, an absolutely stunning place, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable stay

The condition of the property upon our arrival was unacceptable, falling well below basic standards of cleanliness, safety, and comfort. Throughout our stay, we encountered multiple significant issues across the property: The dishwasher was completely full of standing, stagnant water upon our arrival, rendering it unusable until cleared. The cookware provided was filthy, with greasy, burnt-on residue on the pans that required scrubbing before use of which there were no cleaning products provided until asked for. There are visible holes in the walls in the home. More concerningly, bathroom light fixtures were loose and visibly hanging/falling out from the ceiling, which presents a genuine safety hazard. The general cleanliness was poor. In the bathrooms, the ceiling and roof lining showed noticeable dirt and grime build-up. The lounge suites are ripped, worn out, and actively falling apart, offering neither aesthetic appeal nor basic comfort. Furthermore, the beds were extremely uncomfortable, severely impacting our ability to sleep throughout the four nights.

Really nice looking room and a very good price performance ratio. And you even get a complimentary drink. Room was nice and warm upon arrival. I didnt really understand the self checkin for a second, cause i didnt know the rooms were directly at the parkinglot, where the whiteboards and the name are written. Really easy and useful for a fast checkin and checkout. I would stay there again.

Even though I arrived after check-in hours, I was able to self check-in, which was great. The hotel's right by the lake, so waking up to such a beautiful view every morning was amazing. Plus, there's a sauna, making the location absolutely perfect! The only downsides were the shower room, water pressure, and kitchen, which were a bit disappointing.

Good economical accommodation. Clean & comfortable. Friendly staff. Satisfied customer here. A small pack of tissues in the room would have been great. Thanks Law Courts
