Top Drift Bay Hotel Reviews

Blue Peaks Lodge

8/10 Good

"Great spot to stay."

QT Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"The best hotel ever! From the treats at receptions throughout the day and surprises they leave in the hotel room. It is as luxurious and relaxing as it comes."

Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central

10/10 Excellent

"Great location Great staff. Comfortable room with great views of Remarkables"

Pinewood Queenstown

8/10 Good

"Nice clean accomodation. Better for 2 adults thsn 4, as the actual.bed is really comfortable and as usual the sofabed is better for 1 adult than 2 , but would be fine with kids."

Sudima Queenstown Five Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfy beds. Fantastic location"

Mi-pad Queenstown

8/10 Good

"Nice one to stay, very close to city center."

Holiday Inn Queenstown Remarkables Park by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Just what we needed as a crash pad for one night near the airport (but could have stayed longer), great room layout for a young family with a bunk bed, nice views, good breakfast and super helpful staff. Would definitely recommend!"

Kamana Lakehouse

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was most helpful. We never did get a reservation to eat dinner in the hotel. Grab bars in showers would be welcomed."

Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, a ferry runs to Queenstown every hour which is cheaper than an uber, several food options within the resort area which is convenient. The breakfast buffet was great value, wide range of options - highly recommend. During winter they included complimentary hot chocolate in the lobby. Lots of nice walking nearby and places to sit and relax, nice fireplace area outdoors near the main restaurant. Parking was mildly annoying, don’t use the underground carpark if you have a medium or big car as it is pretty tight to navigate. Just use the above ground / open gravel area to park and that’s also closer walking distance to the hotel entrance. If you arrive late you might struggle to find a parking spot, none are reserved. Pay by QR code for parking is easy, don’t have to pay for a full day either (first 3 hours free). Was fine after working that out. There was some miscommunication with some staff around buffet prices, but it got resolved promptly and they took care of everything. Do not use the service in the lobby for pre booking tours, as being a third party that makes it difficult to make changes or cancellations if you have to change plans due to weather etc. Not worth 5% discount for that hassle, plus they charge huge card fee so the savings aren’t worth it."
