Absolutely wonderful. Couldn't fault it at all. Concierge Joseph was extremely helpful when we booked for Milford Sound. Staff were friendly and the proximity to everything was fantastic. Also the cooked buffet breakfast was delicious. Would certainly recommend to family and friends.
The hotel is in a fabulous location on the lakeside. The staff members are warm and professional, and they made the experience of checking in and out very easy. The hotel amenities are of a high quality, but the staff and the location are what really makes this spot fabulous.
Had a lakeside room on the ground floor which was lovely as most afternoons we would relax outside at the table, have some refreshments and watch the world go by. Great staff, service was awesome - and I can be abit fussy! Well stay there again when down that way!
We have stayed at the Novotel Queenstown Lakeside hotel repeatedly over the years, and during our recent 4-day stay have been delighted to re-experience the quality of care that has brought us back again. Even though our previous stay was 8 months ago, senior, concierge and reception staff recognised us on arrival and greeted us warmly. The appearance of the hotel is smart and inviting, the room was spotless as usual, the buffet breakfast comprehensive and excellent, the dinners excellent, the spa restorative, and the garden inviting. Special opportunity was created to experience and celebrate the America's Cup races. The Bangladeshi cricketers were made to feel comfortable and at home. Throughout all, we sensed and appreciated the quality of staff team spirit. The challenges of COVID-19 have necessitated flexibility and collaboration, and we as guests have benefited. When unexpectedly busy, senior staff have chipped in to help where needed; others have multi-tasked smoothly. We noticed at all times that staff were attentive and helpful, ready to offer extra support where needed - as with a guest confined to crutches and wheelchair after a recent tramping accident. The reciprocity of warmth and friendship we experienced with staff at all levels made this stay, like the precious one, a precious vacation experience. Thank you so much! We already look forward to a return visit in spring!…
Probably stayed here six times in the last year. Always had great service and you’ll appreciate, being an Accor member I have options staying in Queenstown. Novotel lakeside is and will always be our go to! Location, location, location and great accommodating staff!! Our recent stay from Thursday 11th March to Sunday 13th March was made extra good for one, being my birthday and two, having been upgraded to a lakeside room. Thank you all, see you in June/July.
