Nice and comfortable lounge, bedroom, bath room setting. Free wine tasting in small group(actually only us) was unexpected, and found truely premium Pinot /resieling which changed my perception of NZ wines. Enjoying a cup of tea at the table in the pergola with mountain view and vineyard near by. Missed out public wine tasting which should offer more bottles in the other building, well, probably another time. Staff in reception and restaurant are nice and helpful.

The location is everything. The hotel staff are lovely, found the decor in the check in area seriously dated for a 5 star hotel. They need a serious uplift. The rooms themselves though are very tasteful, our room was a superior room at the front of the hotel looking at Queenstown. We found it excellent. Staff for breakie were nice but coffees took forever to come out.

Just an opinion but considered by us as being largely overated for a 5 star hotel. Felt like a concrete car park. In practice the room/rooms was/are accessed every time by walking across the indoor car park from/to reception and the restaurant/s, bars. We were on a two month multi stop trip, Dubai, Singapore, Perth, Sydney, Auckland, Bangkok etc, this stay (hotel wise) was one of the lower points in our trip.

This felt like a honeymoon suite and was the outstanding accommodation of our whole holiday exploring most of New Zealand. The bedroom was large and very comfortable with a delightful balcony and its bathroom was luxurious in every way. Breakfast was delicious and as stylish as the rest of the hotel, all prepared to order, not a buffet.

Not much about this property stood out as 5-star. I discussed the issues with the hotel Manager but would find it hard to recommend.
