Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely amazing stay at Hilton. The in-room spa was the highlight of the room. Absolutely worth the upgrade. The staff was always polite and helpful. Will definitely recommend staying at Hilton. "

Swiss-Belsuites Pounamu Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"Just outside of Queenstown centre where there are plenty of food and dining options. We did have a car and it only took us a couple of minutes to drive there so it would be about 10-15 min walk to the centre. Apartment was clean and modern and the bed was comfortable. We really liked the gas fire place. "
