Awesome place to stay, we had one of the private double rooms and it was really clean and surprisingly spacious. Loved the fact that it was only a few minutes walk to town but just far enough for it to be chilled out and not full of rowdy backpackers like the ones in town. Loads of stuff to do, biking,... More

Truly hated my stay at The Pinewood. Room was way to tiny to cram four people into, even for backpackers! The kitchen was almost to small to function in for the number of people expected to use it. The dorm was cold and smelt of smoke due to others staying with us. I woke in the morning and left immediately,... More

Good for down hill biker! And it is close to town which is good in the nights. For every other adventure trip u get picked up directly at the loge. And u can do realy cool stuff in queenstown like bungy jumping, skydiving and jet boot rides. The spa in the loge is very good and clean, it is very... More

Brilliant! The staff are amazingly helpful and jolly. The apartments have everything you need to live like you're at home, feed yourself etc. We decided to stay an extra 3 days while we wait for the camper van we want. They even have a spa! Love it!

Love staying at Pinewood Lodge. The staff are awesome & all go out of their way to help with anything you need or offer great advice on activities. The accommodation is comfortable & super affordable (we had 5 people in a cabin this year with plenty of room). Location is perfect with town only couple minutes walk away & the... More

Stayed two nights in a shared quad (4 rooms with shared lounge and kitchen, but each night we only had one other guest sharing with us) and experienced friendly staff, a nice walking distance to town and comfortable accommodations. It does draw a young, active, fun-loving night-owls, so it might not be the best for light-sleepers.

We got a single room in Q-Town on Sat. night for $70. It was one of two units in a little house, and the other guy was quiet/out. So it was basically getting a house in the trees for cheap and close in to town. I don't know any better value than that. It was fairly clean, and the kitchen... More

i stayed here because of the emphasis on catering for mtb riders. To be honest, it's pretty basic, not very clean (even by backpacker standards) and poor value for money. The kitchen lounge area was filthy, with the same pile of unwashed dishes festering in the sink for the entire time I stayed there. Granted, everyone is supposed to wash... More

It is hard to find cheap accommodation in Queenstown, and that was what lured me to book us into a backpackers double in Pinewood Lodge. In theory, it's a nice idea - each backpacker's lodge has only four rooms and its own kitchen and lounge. In practice, well it was not entirely successful, although our stay here was pleasant enough.... More
