Mercure Queenstown Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast buffet very limited"

La Quinta by Wyndham Remarkables Park Queenstown

8/10 Good

"Loved the room size even as a studio it was spacious. Loved the view. Comfortable bed and linens. Shame about the lack of cutlery in the room. 1 tea spoon. At least put 2,for a double room and a knife. there’s no facilities ( no bar or cafe on the property) the market doesn’t have cutlery or plate - if you wanted to do any cheese board or a pot of yoghurt or anything you could not find a utensil. The guy at reception we named the yes man and the lady that did mornings the no lady. We stayed 4 nights. The room was clean."

Ramada by Wyndham Queenstown Central

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. We enjoyed terrific views from the 2 bed apartment on the top floor. Friendly staff, comfortable beds etc. Would pay the extra and book an underground parking spot as tricky to find free street parking (also meant you were saved de-icing the car every morning!) Our room got quite cold (perhaps too floor not well insulated?) which mean we had heaters running most of the time. Living area for 2 bed apartment very small, and only a tiny couch that barely fit 2 people, so if you had 4 adults it would quite impractical. Electric blankets on beds made it cozy for sleeping."

Swiss-Belsuites Pounamu Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

"Spur of the moment booking. Absolutely made the best choice! Location is a short and fairly easy walk to town. Slight hill but nothing too major. Check in was amazing, we were so well looked after by the lovely lady at reception, top notch service. Room was huge! Had every heating amenity you could think of! Beautiful view from the room. They have a spa that overlooks the lake and Remarkables that you can book at the front desk, ask for extra towels. Only slight downsides, sink in bathroom took ages to drain, shower head and pressure just okay. King bed was two singles pushed together so not the most comfortable bed but wasn’t unbearable. Parking was only $10 a night and you can pay by hour for extra time in the room up until midday. Would definitely stay here again, would probably just get 2 singles or a room with 2 beds."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Lower Shotover?

The best time to visit Lower Shotover, Otago, New Zealand, is during the summer months, from December to February, or the autumn shoulder season in March and April.

Summer offers the warmest weather, with average temperatures around 20-25°C, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, cycling, and exploring the stunning natural landscapes. The longer daylight hours mean you can make the most of your days, whether you're enjoying a boat trip on Lake Wakatipu or exploring the Shotover River. This period is particularly good for families looking for an active holiday with plenty of sunshine.

For those who prefer slightly cooler temperatures and fewer crowds, the autumn months of March and April are excellent. The weather remains pleasant, typically around 15-20°C, and the region's deciduous trees transform into a spectacular display of reds, oranges, and golds, especially noticeable along the Shotover River.
