Hotels With Spa in Otago, New Zealand

The hotel isn't very new. The family connecting room I booked wasn't actually given; instead, they gave us two adjacent single rooms. I'd suggest just booking single rooms directly. The two-bedroom apartment 5401 on the last day was pretty good, but it only had one bathroom, and the door was broken 😂.

Mainly, accommodation in New Zealand is just too expensive. Even the pricier hotels are quite average, to be honest. This one was close to the airport but a bit far from the city center, though you could take a ferry. Overall, it was pretty standard.

great location being a 7 to 10 minutes drive away from the hustle and bustle of the queenstown town center very convenient to head to the airport, towards te anau or north towards arrowtown / cromwelll / wanaka without getting stuck in the morning traffic clean and modern room with decent amenities provided

This is the most luxurious hotel I've ever stayed in on a trip, though I guess I haven't really stayed in many fancy places, haha. The front desk staff were enthusiastic and gave excellent tips. The bellboy delivered our luggage right to the door, which was a nice touch. You have to take a boat to get to town; it costs $10 per trip with a card, which is a bit pricey, but it was a unique way to travel. Because it's a bit far from the town center, it's very quiet at night with minimal light pollution. You can step outside and see the stars, and the pool is great. The room itself was fantastic, though the lighting was a little dim. The bathroom was spacious.

The hotel is a bit out of the way from Queenstown's central area, but not too far – just 4 stops on the No. 1 bus. It's located on a hillside and offers lake views. Our room wasn't very big and had absolutely no view of the lake. The soundproofing was also a bit lacking; we could hear guests walking around upstairs at night. However, the restaurant here was absolutely beyond expectations! It has stunning lake views, and the chef's dishes were seriously on point. Dinner requires advance booking, and by the time we remembered, it was fully booked. We emailed the restaurant two or three days in advance, and they still managed to get us a table for 8:30 PM. Breakfast is à la carte, and both the presentation and taste were excellent.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, just a two-minute walk from the lake. The service was attentive; they helped store our luggage and even brought it up to our room. While the room facilities aren't brand new, they are well-maintained and complete. It's perfect for guests who want to step right out and enjoy the scenic views.

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!

It was beyond my expectation. It was so beautiful. It faced the huge lake in Queenstown. The facilities were very good, including dishwasher, washing machine, bathroom, bedding, and the view. Most importantly, the price was much better than those hotels with direct beach access.

Facilities: The resort has complete facilities, a good environment, and a large golf course. The hotel rooms are average, American style. Hygiene: The hygiene of New Zealand hotels is good. Environment: Really good! There are also many foreigners staying here, all of whom come to play golf on vacation. Service: Not bad!

We chose this hotel because we expected to enjoy its winery/food. Otherwise, we should have stayed in Queenstown with a lot of restaurants and pubs. As we would arrive in the early evening, we put a note for our hope for experiencing their winery and food (or at least finger foods) when we booked the hotel, and received email that they cannot guarantee but will do their best to serve our need. Since then, no email was sent to us. When we arrived at the hotel around 6 pm, no one was in the information desk, so we had to go to the bistro to find out that they left the key in a safe box without any notice or sending us any email with its password. We had to wait a while for the bistro lady to make a phone call to whom it concerns, which was okay. Worse, we heard that their bistro was reserved for a group event so we could not use the facility at all. We had to drive 15 minutes to a nearby town and bought foods from a supermarket. I think the hotel should have notified us of impossibility of using their bistro/food service due to the group event and we have to prepare for our food. As I checked out, I left a note about the issues, and expected they would send me an email to express their sincere apology. Unfortunately nothing happened so far. Although I liked the room as well as the whole place very much, I think Kinross cottage needs professionalism to run their stay program. It could have been much nicer, memorable stay experience.
