"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."

"Great place to stay however difficult to access without a car. Great amenities such as laundry and kitchenette. The “gym” is a bit of a joke. They are correct when they say limited parking. Pretty much after 8pm you have no chance to find parking. Despite that would definitely stay here again"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kawarau Gorge?
The best area to stay near Kawarau Gorge is Queenstown, offering a wide range of accommodation and activities within a short drive of the gorge itself.Queenstown is the adventure capital of New Zealand, located on the shores of Lake Wakatipu with the Remarkables mountain range as a stunning backdrop. The town centre is relatively compact and very walkable, with most shops, restaurants, and activity providers concentrated along Shotover Street, Rees Street, and the waterfront promenade. It's the primary hub for exploring the wider Otago region.For couples looking for a luxurious and convenient base, staying in Queenstown central is ideal. You'll have immediate access to fine dining, boutique shopping, and a wide array of activities, from scenic cruises on the lake to wine tours of the Gibbston Valley, which is just a short drive through the Kawarau Gorge. Many hotels offer stunning lake or mountain views, great for a romantic getaway.Families will also find Queenstown a great choice, particularly if they opt for accommodation slightly outside the immediate town centre, perhaps in areas like Fernhill or Kelvin Heights. These locations often provide more spacious rooms or self-catering apartments and are still just a short drive or bus ride from all the main attractions.
When is the best time to go to Kawarau Gorge?
The best time to visit Kawarau Gorge is during the warmer months, specifically from late spring to early autumn (November to April), when the weather is most favourable for outdoor activities.During this period, the days are longer and generally sunnier, creating ideal conditions for enjoying the gorge's adventure sports, such as white-water rafting and jet boating. The water levels in the Kawarau River are typically good for these activities, and the surrounding scenery is at its most appealing. This time of year is particularly good for couples looking to enjoy active holidays together.While some activities operate year-round, the colder months (May to October) can bring lower temperatures and less predictable weather, which might impact the comfort and availability of certain outdoor pursuits.
