My recent stay at Oakridge Resort Lake Wanaka was overall a very positive experience, thanks to its fantastic amenities. After long days spent exploring the stunning surrounding landscapes, the hot pools were an absolute highlight. Soaking in the warm water under the stars was incredibly relaxing and a perfect way to unwind tired muscles. This was definitely a standout feature of the resort and something I greatly appreciated.
If I were to be particularly picky, the only minor annoyance during my stay was a faint but persistent hissing sound coming from the telephone line in my room. While it wasn't overly loud, it did become a little distracting when trying to get to sleep.
Despite this small issue, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Oakridge Resort.
This was my second time staying here, and it was just as good as the first. The chalet was different from my previous stay, but the quality remained excellent—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The experience was just as enjoyable, proving that this place is consistently reliable. Will definitely return again!
Mercure Queenstown Resort has offered very good services with great hospitality. The room given has a great view overseeing a big lake right from the middle. Livin (A name for New Zealander, I suppose) offered great hospitality for us and even treated us a VIP favour by giving an in room slipper.. thank you.. if you are lucky you can even spot a double rainbow…
Superb.. love Queenstown and Mercure Resort..
Also Accor membership is usable here.. bravo..
I have been eyeing this resort for a long time and finally had the chance to visit. A resort of about 3,000 acres, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, with pleasant scenery and Japanese and Western-style architecture. There are large golf courses, which are worth visiting if you want to relax. It would be great if there is Chinese food service.
When you stay at Waiorau Homestead in Cardrona, you'll be near ski lifts and 11 minutes by foot from Cardrona Distillery. This luxury bed & breakfast is 5.5 mi (8.8 km) from Cardrona Alpine Resort and 5.7 mi (9.1 km) from Valley View Quad Chair.
After a day on the slopes, enjoy recreational amenities including an outdoor pool and a hot tub. This bed & breakfast also features complimentary wireless internet access, ski storage, and wedding services. Guests can get around on the shuttle (surcharge), which operates within 30 km.
Mingle with other guests at the complimentary reception, held daily. A complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast is served daily from 6:30 AM to 9 AM.
Featured amenities include luggage storage, laundry facilities, and a library. A roundtrip airport shuttle is provided for a surcharge (available on request), and free self parking is available onsite.
Make yourself at home in one of the 3 guestrooms featuring DVD players. Your pillowtop bed comes with down comforters and Egyptian cotton sheets. Rooms have private furnished balconies or patios. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and digital programming is available for your entertainment. Bathrooms have designer toiletries and hair dryers.
Location: The hotel is located close to the Queenstown airport but approximately 15 mins away from Queenstown itself.
Parking: There is no parking bays at the Hilton (only valet) itself but it shares with Doubletree which is limited. Due to some maintenance work, level P2 was closed off and had to park in a reserved slot for the night. Cost of parking is NZ$ 16 per night.
Rooms: This is where my issue lies, the room temp is centrally managed and it was freezing at night especially with the floor to ceiling windows. Had to go to the front desk for portable heater and extra blankets on the 1st night. Bathroom is non-heated (with tiled floors) so extra cold in there. In most places we stayed in NZ, the bathrooms had heated lamps overhead for comfort. I requested the accessible room for mom and it was provided as requested although the location of the room was on one end of the building which is a distance to walk.
Food: Breakfast was a good selection and ran from 630 to 1030am.
The hotel's facilities and environment are very good. The only thing that makes me angry is that when we checked in, the waiter asked us where we were from. The answer was China. The service attitude suddenly became bad, the smile disappeared, and the room we were given was in the corner with obstructed view.
The hotel is well maintained and the reception was very helpful with our situation due to flight cancellation. Especially Silvester from the restaurant, he was very kind to accommodate our needs.
We had a pleasant experience and would like to stay again next time.
It's a very nice hotel with a friendly owner, large rooms, complete facilities, clean and sanitary, good location, convenient parking and cheap price. I highly recommend it to everyone.

GGuest UserVery good, worth recommending. The hotel is also very new, with good facilities. You can cook your own food. It is a hotel worth recommending. . . . . .

Jjanny yan2 rooms and 3 beds. Everything is good, especially this room has a garden where you can bathe in the sun and have breakfast in the morning. The host was also very polite and wrote a welcome letter, and also left fruits and wine for us, which made us feel very warm. It feels like home
CCaleb YapDespite what’s advertised one should beware some misleading info.
We expected a king size bed in the kings deluxe unit but the bed was closer to a Queen.
More disappointing was the promise of a “kitchen” only to be presented with an outdoor BBQ grill, microwave, toaster, kettle, plates, bowls and a mini fridge. Absent were pots, pans, a hob and we were told at check in not to do any washing as there was no sink. To be fair, a breakfast basket of breads was provided with jams but it was certainly not a kitchen. When we raised the issue of different advertising with our host, we received neither clarifications nor any sympathy.
Otherwise, it was lovely stay.
