We stayed in the Discovery Sherwood Hotel for the 3rd time. Friendly service, good breakfast and complementary sauna or spa. Good value for midrange price, thought the old TV should be replaced for LCD TV. Good choice of rooms or suites. Short drive to town centre.

Booked a room for 2 for three nights over Easter 2013. Was offered a free car park with the $95 p/night which we had to fight other car owners for. Not at all great. The bath/shower leaked heavily and soaked our clothes. Bathroom was old. Alarm clocks went off ALL night in unoccupied adjacent rooms as well as our alarm... More

Finally, after two years of business trips to Queenstown, I seem to have found the perfect place to suit my needs. Extremely friendly and obliging staff, wonderful lake view rooms of a very satisfactory standard in decor and cleanliness. Although close to the main highway, between Frankton and Queenstown, traffic noise was not an issue, simply close the ranch sliders... More

Thank you for your positive comment; we are happy you enjoyed your stay. Regarding the pricing, we think that we offer the best value for money in Queenstown. Especially our restaurant which is considered cheap, with meals from only $17 to $26. Not many restaurants in Queenstown offer cheaper food and drinks prices as our restaurant. So eating out most...

Three key points: Hotel said it had no knowledge of our booking when we arrived for our 4 night stay even though I had confirmation document Oddly when I insisted that I would be staying even if I had to sleep on the floor a room was suddenly found. The receptionist was extremely rude blaming me for my booking! Later... More

Sorry we didn’t get your booking, but that was due to a failure of your travel agent or other middle man passing on the reservation to our hotel. So of course we never had your booking. Even so as we were fully booked we still managed to give you a room. The receptionist in question who you claim to be... More

Discovery Sherwood Hotel is midway between Arrowtown and Queenstown proper and not in walking distance of anything. And the sign is very difficult to see from the busy road that fronts the property. Even with the GPS we missed the entrance the first pass. It is part of the Golden Chain group of self contained motels in New Zealand but... More

Our location is midway between Frankton (which is a Queenstown suburb) and the CBD. Exactly 3 km either way, in the Goldfields Heights area. Arrowtown is 18 km away. There is a hotel sign on the Frankton road, and also at the entrance of the hotel at Goldfields Heights. We have several roomtypes in our hotel, and some have full... More
