What guests think

Sherwood Queenstown blends a strong eco ethos and relaxed, rustic style with lake and mountain views and inviting outdoor spaces, but it sits outside the centre with bus access and a lakeside trail.

Rooms range from spacious and stylish to basic and dated; many lack TVs, some are dim with thin walls, and bathrooms or controls can feel fiddly or tired. Facilities like the sauna, yoga and gardens are appreciated, though parking is unallocated and often scarce. The restaurant is widely praised for excellent, seasonal food and drinks, though prices, surcharges or wait times are mentioned. Overall, a characterful stay with straightforward rooms just outside the action.

Can't say enough good things about Sherwood. It's my third stay there and the concept, comfort and aesthetics, luxe touches for a mid range price and amazing facilities (especially the sauna) are second to none in Queenstown. You really feel pampered and cosy and everything smells wonderful, I wish I could buy their furniture and blankets. The staff are wonderful, I love the firepits and the massage onsite with Suellen was fantastic. Breakfast/coffee onsite were great.

Good location. Friendly staff. Parking is total shambles though. Parking spots are unallocated but some aggressive guests physically stood in parking spots to block others from using them. Apparently this was to "reserve" the spot outside their room until their car returned. The path to get into and out of the hotel was also very narrow and created huge hassles for driving in and out. Especially when food delivery vans would be stopped near the only car entrance to the facility. Staff paid no notice to the aggressive guests and the poor traffic management. Not a pleasant way to end our stay

The lake view rooms are spacious, have a great view, and have everything you need. While the bathroom is sparse (only a small mirror and dark shower), we thought the room was beautifully done. The restaurant and outdoor spaces are beautiful and the sauna is a nice touch. It was great to be across from the walking trail, which took about 45 min to walk into town (or few minutes by car).

Das Erneuern des Leuchtmittels war auf Nachfrage nicht möglich, weil keine passende Röhre verfügbar war. Aufzug ist keiner vorhanden, behindertengerecht ist das ganze Anwesen nicht. Tagsüber ist Fluglärm vom nahen Flughafen deutlich hörbar.

The bathroom had an extremely strong smell of mold, so much that we had to hold our breath when using it. Even after housekeeping cleaned the bathroom, the smell remained. It seems related to the building’s age and ventilation. The room itself was a bit dark with limited lighting but otherwise decent. On the positive side, the hotel has plenty of parking spaces and is in a convenient location. When we informed reception about the mold smell, they were polite and tried to help, but no other rooms were available for us to switch. Overall, good location and parking, but the room was dark and the persistent mold smell in the bathroom made the stay uncomfortable.

This hotel is excellent for a family of five as there are enough beds in one room for everyone. The room decor is really cute and it’s very handy having a small kitchenette. We also loved the outdoor fireplace - this was the highlight of our stay and would keep us coming back! Food is excellent too. Can see why the restaurant is always busy! If there was one thing that was a negative it is that the room had an old body / hair smell. I understand they are keeping it eco friendly which I love! But an easy fix is to light some Palo Santo sticks. Overall would definitely return!

No Television in the room nor any milk in the fridge. Shower water took awhile to work out how to get hot water but then a lovely shower. Easy to find with gardens showing the name- we arrived at night. Restaurant had nice food but fairly expensive. Would recommend the hotel.

The staff and dining were excellent however the room and room facilities were not great. The shower had poor controls - either lukewarm or scalding; lighting was very dim and given the industrial style decor, it made the room very dark and unwelcoming. It was necessary to keep the lights on whenever in the room and given there were no blinds or net curtains on the floor length windows there was a lack of privacy as all those walking past to get to their own rooms could see right into the room. There was also no television in the room.

I went to have a breakfast and asked for an omelette instead of scramble eggs!!!because scramble eggs have butter and omelettes just need to mix the egg and done!!! But the staff didn't want to listen to me and arrogantly said we can't make your omelette we don't have a pan for that. Even the manager, using an arrogant tone, said we don't have an omelette!!! I was trying to explain that it was simpler than scramble eggs but they preferred to maintain their arrogance than listen to me. They didn't want to make it. I felt frustrated because it was an easy option, "eggs" only! I travel all over the world and I have never encountered this difficulty in hotels.i will not back there anymore

The hotel is clean, a bit rustic, but this is an Intentional eco-flair. A good restaurant with a healthy breakfast options is on site, has a sauna too. If you rent a vehicle it’s a great location, otherwise you have to take a bus to town or walk for about 5 km. Busses are cheap and go every 15 min or so. Overall was a good experience

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Loved the vege garden area, so serene and lovely view. Location was great, in between Frankton and Queenstown with bus stop not far away. Just a few little luxuries we would have liked. The choice to have a tv in the Family Apartment for those days when wet and ended up staying in. A microwave to heat up food. A lamp in the spare room of the family apartment instead of having to turn light off in the other bedroom. Maybe mirror in bedroom. Parking was abit random for guests staying, first in first served but hard when there’s someone with a disability and you have to park further away. Other than that, we really enjoyed it.

Chose this accommodation for location with dining options. The room was spacious and comfortable along with all we needed for our overnight stay within walking distance of the restaurant. Although there wasn’t a television in the room, the wifi and great water pressure along with heating made our stay great. If you prefer to stay outside the cbd with a short drive to town this is the place for you. Stairs the only issue for mobility challenged but there are downstairs rooms.

Also loved the on site restaurant. Amazing food and atmosphere. We were able to walk to Altitude Brewing and the K Jet dock and then used the bus (very convenient) to get everywhere else including into town. Would highly recommend.
