The woman that checked us in was one of the best parts, she was so helpful I wish I could remember her name.. We did not do the 4 corse dinner but the other food we had was so good I regret not going for it. It was raining the first night and was nice and sunny the 2nd visiting in mid September I can’t say enough about our stay, and will be back...

Rendezvous Heritage Hotel Queenstown

Rendezvous Heritage Hotel Queenstown

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful location with plenty of nice hangout spaces and a fire in the reception area as well as in the bar/ restaurant. The lake with snowcapped mountains in the background is a stunning backdrop. The breakfast was exceptional but dinner not as much. We got a family suite with 2 bedrooms, a living area, and kitchen and it was just right. Hot tub wasn't very hot and was right under a very bright neon light- so not a great atmosphere there. But otherwise we really enjoyed this hotel. Maybe a bit expensive for what it is and parking was $15/ day, but would definitely consider staying again"
