Great Location. Beautifully appointed rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff. As the hotel is reasonably new, every aspect of it was clean, tidy and modern. Carparking had very easy access. We found the location great as it was quiet and had lovely views. A car is recommended to get to the hotel, but rental cars were very reasonably priced and... More

Got an amazing deal off grabone for accommodation for two and breakfast included. Hotel lovely and clean, new. Rooms compact but all we needed. Great to have bath and shower, and crab tree and evelyn products in the bathroom. Also great to have microwave, sink, oven etc kitchen in the room. Great beds, lovely and comfy and warm.

We stayed at Kawerau Hotel for 3 nights during our stay in Queenstown. After 5 hours on the road, we were so pleased to arrive in our beautiful room, there was four of us so we took 2 adjoining rooms. It's very stylish and comfortable. Bed was great, slept like a log, had much needed rest after a long drive.... More

Adjoining and managed via the Hilton in Queenstown, we were a bit concerned that the Kawarau would be the poor cousin to its neighbour. Fortunately, we were wrong. We got the same attention to detail and excellent Hilton service at this property. The Kawarau was a really pleasant surprise that after our dodgy stay in Te Anau was just the... More

Beautifully appointed room with big king bed, lounge and bathroom. No view of the lake, but had a lovely view of the mountain ranges. Great friendly service and really obliging. Amazing breakfast at Wakatipu Grill included in the bed rate - one of the best breakfast offerings I have encountered. Make your own fresh juice with juicer, cereals, bircher muesli,... More

This hotel is a great place to stay. The exterior and interior is very well done and has a new, good feel to it. Interior corridors were pretty dirty however. We were also disappointed as we were expecting a lakeview room but got a room looking out on nothing. Is also quite far from Queenstown - a good 10 min... More

the hotel is very nice and comfortable. We had a room with a nice kitchen inside. There is a small grocery store near by the hotel too.The hotel is near the airport but not very central to Queenstown Center- we saw a sign for a water taxi but did not use it. Staff was very friendly

True it is located outside of Queenstown but as i am not much of a pub person and found that two trips into Queenstown provided sufficient shopping and exploring opportunities, I found the location to be perfect. What i did like was the peaceful lakeside location. What better way to start a day with an early morning run on the... More

The room we stayed in in the Kawarau Hotel looked up over the bridge, we really appreciated this as we hadn't expected such a nice view in a standard room. We had originally booked for three nights and then ended up being snowed in for an extra couple of nights. The staff were great and gave us an excellent rate... More
