NZ holidays

Holiday Inn and Suites gave us the cosy resort feel when we stepped into the front lobby. The reception setup is totally different from the other hotels that we have stayed in so far, we thought we have wrongly walked into a cafe-bar when we first arrived! All of the reception staff were so friendly and helpful, and they went out of the way to answer every questions we may have during our stay. The hotel room was smaller than I expected it to be but it was comfortable and the view from the room was beautiful. The toilet is well designed and I loved the thick and fluffy towels. The hotel is located uphill, about 15 minutes walk to and from the town centre so going out is great but coming back is a little tiring. We had a great 5 days stay and will definitely stay here if visiting Queenstown again.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Queenstown was an absolute gem! The free breakfast was a great bonus—delicious, fresh, and a perfect start to the day. The location is unbeatable—right in the city and within walking distance to everything, including shops, restaurants, and the lakefront, which made it super convenient especially with the busy traffic in Queenstown. The facilities were modern, clean, and really well looked after, and having secure parking inside the hotel was a big plus. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Would highly recommend it for anyone visiting Queenstown—great value and comfort in an ideal location!

We recently stayed at this place for 6 nights and absolutely loved our experience. The breakfast each morning was fresh and really set us up for the day. The staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. The room service was a real highlight, our room was serviced everyday at a very high standard. We also had a beautiful view from our room which made our stay feel extra special especially in the mornings and at sunset. Overall, it was a comfortable and memorable stay and we’d definitely come back. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Can't wait to come back here, apart from the gorgeous view and funky bathroom we arrived late and hungry and could order pizza 24 hours! Gluten free and vegetarian, it was delicious. Walked into town every day (and night) and bus pick up for our Milford sound day was right outside.... amazing place.
