I stayed here for a couple of nights when on my way to Milford Sound, having flown in from Australia. Beautiful views, friendly staff, good food, amazingly well-appointed and spacious rooms. If you have the $$$ to shell out, this is where you should put your money. I wouldn't pay too much attention to other whiners here. This property is... More

This is classic New Zealand. Great service, scenery and hotel. The lake views, food and service as you'd hope for given the cost of it all. Walking distance to everywhere, excellent. We will certainly visit again.

Perfect location right on the waterfront in central Queenstown with best views of Lake Wakatipu and the dramatic mountains from the room - which made it feel even more cosy. The interior is incredibly tasteful and elegant yet makes you feel very much at home. We only stayed for one night and would have loved to spend some time at... More

OK... So how do you review a hotel whose prices are in the same league as the Hotel de Crillon or the better suites at the Waldorf Astoria ? You would expect the same levels of appointment and service in addition to iconic location. On this comparison Eichardt's does not measure up. We stayed in a 2 br apt rather... More

Thanks for your feedback on your recent stay. Sorry to hear that your experience came across as less than perfect - that's what we are striving for. You're correct, the hotel and apartments are two quite different products, however thats more about style and layout than quality of fittings etc. And you cant beat the location - step out of...

This was a much anticipated stay, and Eichardts exceeded our high expectations. Stunning central, lakefront location, and a warm, friendly welcome when you arrive.

The suite we had in this hotel was luxurious yet homely. Spacious and well laid out with a warm cosey decor. I loved the bathroom. It was very spacious and seperated from the bedroom by the dressing room/kitchenette so the person up early didn't have to wake the late sleeper. Most importantly, the shower was amazing.
