Abba Court Motel & Apartments
Parking was good but some clients do not follow instructions to always park in allocated places which can create hassles with you having to park in somebody else's spot. The wardrobe should have some more partitions for easy storage.

Kamana Lakehouse
What a charmer! Quiet, clean, and the perfect dining room with panoramic lake views. Breakfast and snack menus offered tasty options. The hot tub is a nice touch, and very friendly staff too. I highly recommend this hotel!

Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central
This is a great location with such friendly staff and so close to town. Its a good walk up the hill but prepares you for a cocktail. We will definitely come again next year, for a chill out week.
