We stayed 3 nights at the Earnslaw Lodge Motel and thought the accommodation brilliant. Fantastic views of the lake and clean spacious rooms. We really appreciated the breakfast facilities available and the owner couldn't have been more helpful. Really recommended this motel. Our English visitors were most impressed. During our travels around New Zealand we stayed at over 11 motels... More

We stayed at the Earnslaw Lodge 3 nights and loved it. We had a second floor room with a balcony that overlooked the lake and mountains. What a fabulous view. The hotel is small and quaint and in a convenient location for walking to downtown Queenstown. The hotel offers a continental breakfast and also has a guest laundry. The owners... More

We had a comfortable stay and chose this hotel as it was a cheaper one in Queenstown, a pricey town, which was the only hotel which offered two apartments with two showers for our 5 adults. The good points are well documented in past reviews, good view, clean, comfortable, friendly hosts. I would like to add - very well maintained... More

Beautiful view from our room. Room was spacious, very reasonably priced for Queenstown, close to city centre. We were able to do our washing in the laundry on site after walking the Milford Track. We stayed one night before our walk and the motel minded our main luggage for us for five days until we came back and stayed one... More

Our stay at this hotel was slightly spoiled by a rather abrupt, "take it or leave it" attitude from the receptionist. However, the hotel does have fantastic views across the lake to the mountains beyond. Unfortunately we had a ground floor room, the views get progressively better as you go higher, none the less we had very nice views. The... More

Spacious comfortable clean room. Good choice of breakfast and good value. Lynley and Phil were very friendly and looked after everyone with great care. Beautiful views from balcony and 10 min walk into "town" where the restaurants were but opposite a hotel which had a good restaurant too.
