This golf resort is a place to relax and enjoy a picturesque and beautiful plan and environment. You can walk to Arrowtown for sightseeing and dining. There are many hiking trails nearby. There are lawn stream ducks at the door of the house. Stayed for three days The two nights were not boring at all, and there were free shuttle buses to Arrowtown and Queenstown, which was very good.

What a beautiful location, we had a large family trip to Queenstown for the weekend & had the entire lodge to ourselves and it was absolutely perfect!! We didn’t want to leave, the owners were friendly & accomodating, it was so lovely and warm, fantastic spa, comfortable beds & the grounds were just stunning!! The main house was awesome for all of our family gatherings over the weekend with the pool table & roaring fire it was so lovely! The only small thing I would change would be an update of some of the furniture, we stayed in the large studio & the couches were a bit out of place looking in such a stunning location! With a little bit of an update here and there it would be PERFECT! But it was such a fantastic stay that, that was such a minor detail. Thank you so much couldn’t recommend this place enough!

The rooms are immaculately clean, the place very quiet and gives you easy access to all Queenstown and surrounds has to offer. I would make a point of it to stay here if I ever get down to the South Island again. The owners can rightly be proud of their establishment.

A fabulous start to our New Zealand vacation. Full of character and very large room which even included a washing machine and tumble dryer! We were made most welcome right from the start, and the breakfast is of the highest quality. Arrowtown is much quieter and more relaxed than nearby Queenstown and that suited us perfectly. If you are looking for a place to stay that has all the advantages of being located near to Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu but offers quiet comfort, then you can’t do any better than stay here.

很英式的MOTEL，雖然在同類型汽車旅館裏算貴的。老闆熱情，主動介紹箭鎮。房間熱水壓力很大，床墊很舒服。

“Sudima Queenstown Five Mile” -is in Queenstown, right? The name seems pretty clear. It’s shown as being in “Queenstown Central” which is in central Queenstown, right? The name seems pretty clear on that point too. Close to the lake perhaps, looking towards the mountains, near the Queenstown bars and restaurants? WRONG. WRONG. “Queenstown Central” is not in central Queenstown. It’s the name of a shopping centre outside of Frankton, next door to the airport, surrounded by massive carparks, supermarkets, K Mart etc and about 50m off the main State Highway 6A. Hence the “Sudima Queenstown Five Mile”, despite the name, is 7.6 km from Queenstown according to Google maps (or a $50+ taxi ride away, as I can tell you from frequent experience) and about as far away from the experience or the convenience of staying in central Queenstown as you can get. Close to the lake perhaps, looking towards the mountains, near the Queenstown bars and restaurants – in your DREAMS. Having booked in a hurry and taking at face value the name(s) described the reality, we were stuck at this hotel for three nights. On arriving we were given an “underground carpark pass”, meaning that as an elderly couple we had to park 5-10 minutes’ walk away from the hotel in an isolated underground location, walking through deserted carparks late at night or early in the morning. (As we were checking out, we discovered that the receptionist could have simply noted our car registration number and for the duration of our stay we could have parked in the massive carpark immediately outside the hotel door.) We were given Room 223 for our stay, which I found overlooked the massive nearby roundabout on the main State Highway 6A (meaning trucks would be audibly braking at all hours), with a view to K Mart, I went back to the desk and asked for a room away from the Highway. We were moved to Room 214. On entering Room 214, I discovered a woman lying on the bed, semi-undressed, on the telephone. I quickly backed out of the room and went straight down to reception, where I was told, “that’s odd, someone mustn’t have updated the system”. I went back to Room 214, knocked on the door and apologised to the occupants, explaining what had happened. All attempts to find another hotel to stay in were unsuccessful; there were no vacancies at such short notice. We stayed in Room 223, but tried to be out of the hotel as much as humanly possible. I had booked restaurants in Queenstown – full degustation menus with matching wines, for every night we stayed - meaning I couldn’t drive, and we consequently were paying an extra $100-130+ per night to go to dinner and return to the ‘carpark-hotel’. Had the room we stayed in been in a hotel located in central Queenstown then it would have been a pleasant experience, but what we experienced was simply awful. Might the name of both the hotel and the shopping centre mislead people who are booking a stay in Queenstown? I will leave it to you to decide.

Had to be one of my worst hotel stays and I definitely wouldn’t return to the Ramada in Queenstown. We arrived to check in only to find the doors locked and reception closed, there was no forewarning that reception would be closed and no after hours contact so we initially thought we had no way to get in. Thankfully a member of our party that we were meeting there had had a change of plans and had arrived earlier than us, originally he was going to be later. Once we got in I headed to my room and the whole floor stunk, I can’t even describe the smell but it was horrendous, I got into my room which was an absolute sauna as the air conditioning didn’t work, they had put a small fan in my room but all that did was move the hot air and smell around. When looking from the bathroom I could see used tissues under the bed and there was dust and hair stuck to the bottom of the toilet door so when you opened and closed the door it worked like a broom. I couldn’t open any windows and had a terrible nights sleep, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. It was $250 for the room and it wasn’t worth half that cost.

The hotel stay was great. Not the best of locations as it was away from most things, it was a 25 minutes walk to the bus interchange to catch a bus for our Tour to Milford Sounds. Considering it's location, the hotel didn't offer any shuttle bus services to take you to the airport. Good if you have a car, although this was our last leg of the trip and had to return our car rental. It was a 25 minutes walk to the airport which wasn't too bad. Room itself was clean and have no complaints. There was an issue with cold water though, not much pressure on cold water, so the shower were very hot.

The hotel service is very good, there are Chinese people, and the language is very convenient. The facilities and the scenery outside the window are top-notch. If you come to Queenstown next time, you should also stay here. There is bus No. 1 that can go directly to downtown Queenstown.
