Pinewood Queenstown

A good stay overall. The shared kitchen facility in each block of rooms is great.

You get what you pay for. The parking space is not sufficient for all rooms, so it's a flawed advertisement of free parking available on first basis. Basically, limited parking. On top, they kept reserved half of the space for paid parking, which costs around $20/night. We couldn't find any parking even on the neighbourong streets. So, if you are coming by car, and definitely need a parking, please be prepared to factor that per night parking fee in the cost. Deluxe double rooms with one double bed and two bunk beds, are extremely small space for luggages of four guests. The shower hot water was ok, but the water was pooling around the base due to poor flow. The basin doesn't have a mix tap for hot and cold water, just have two separate taps, which is rare in this age. (How can one use warm water?!) . The kitchen facility was very basic. There's no TV in the room, and the only TV in the kitchen is probably max 32" and not in a position to watch by sitting really (basically the sofas are on the door way of the kitchen). The driveways within the property are narrow, and if one is not careful or not having front/rear camera or sensors, there's a high likelihood to damage the car. The only good thing is its location. It's walkable to city centre and food options (10-15 mins walk). Everything is overpriced at year-end season, so the price/value is a relative factor. If I find a better place at similar or slightly higher price, won't stay again, but can tolerate the stay i need to!

We had a great stay here. We stayed two nights, really enjoyed having the kitchen for breakfast and dinner. It was clean and organized, with sections for your food based on your room. Fully stocked with plenty of dishes, cups, etc. the bathrooms were decent and clean. We would recommend and would stay here again! They also have laundry facilities which is helpful. It’s about a 7-10 minute walk into town and there’s a grocery store nearby that was fully stocked and cheaper than the one in the center. Thank you!

Parking was a little difficult, but everything else was great.

Great location for staying in Queenstown. We were able to easily walk downtown in less than ten minutes, but still have our private lodge when we were done for the day. We appreciated the private kitchen and on site shared laundry facilities. The bathroom sink was kind of small, and the water pressure was outrageous from both faucets, but that didn't negatively impact our stay. We would definitely stay here again next time we're in the Queenstown area.

Nice location with a view. Clean rooms and helpful staff. Parking into those narrow parking slots is not fun. We came back late to some dont care person parked into our parking slot and had to beg the staff to find the idiot who did at 10:30pm. The staff found the person and made them move. So awesome staff !

Nice and quiet. Good kitchen and rooms. Definitely recommended

Parking is first come first serve. So not every guest would be able to get parking space. And street parking is incredibly hard to find. However, Great location and views. Just a 5min to drive to Skyline.

Staff was super friendly and location, room, shared kitchen were good as well.

Good communal kitchen

Bathrooms are very unclean and unhygienic. Carpets are wet and rooms are mouldy.

Stayed in a private room which was great. Comfy beds. Shared kitchen and bathroom facilities were good too. All very conveniently located within a 15 min walk to Queenstown town centre. Lots of parking available. Really clean. Would stay again and definitely recommend

Sehr gut und sauber

Rooms were smelling like old wood, carpet was very dirty, can't get rid of smell even opening all windows, tiny toilet and bathroom. Didn't expect rooms like these. Staff were nice though, property needs renovation.

So overpriced for what it was , terrible bathrooms , showers and toilets not cleaned

Clean and tidy accommodation and very friendly and happy to help staff

Very clean and comfortable! The shared bathrooms were in great condition, perfect water pressure and the communal kitchen area had everything we needed and was always kept clean. Check-in was efficient and friendly, and laundry was easy! Great stay!

We had an overall excellent stay — the place is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were welcoming and the atmosphere made us feel right at home. The only minor issues we noticed were a strange smell in the toilet and that the shower drain wasn’t draining as smoothly as it should. These didn’t take away from the experience too much, but addressing them would make the stay absolutely perfect. We’d definitely recommend this place and would be happy to come back!

very clean and quiet

The rooms were small but very clean. The common bathroom was not clean. We shared it with other suites and wet towels were left in the showers and urine was on the floor and seat of the toilets.

Poor sleep because of old mattress. More rooms than parking available. No air con or fan and window was nailed closed with wood blocks.

Like the distance from CBD Dislike: No designated Parking. Had to park at the reception and walk to assigned location Checked into a hot room. No fan or AC. In the morning, Sun is already blazing the room. Again no AC or fan. Couldn’t sleep. Waste of money

I had such a a good sleep. I don't normally. Bathroom tiny but fine. Drain in shower a little blocked so needed to be careful. Good layout. Warm and cozy.

It would be 5 stars if the doors didn’t have a habit of being very loud and therefore waking people up. Staff were amazing, facilities were good.

Stayed in a cabin which overall was good. For those who care, TV and remote did not work very well. The sink in the bathroom was way too small. Having said that I would definitely stay there again.

Wall are very thin. Roads are narrow & not good for larger vehicles.

For Queenstown prices it was good value for money. The only negative was that it was noisey, especially with people going in and out of the shared bathroom facilities all times of day and night.

TLDR; -Soundproofing issue if you booked a Quad room -Facilities all working but old -Decent food options about 14mins walk away (mostly flat but a bit of uphill leading to property), -Surroundings can be bit dodgy -Service was 100% AND thoughtful. We checked into a WARM room! — Pros first: Staff were accommodating and have an “on to it” attitude. I’ve called the property one day before to request for extra towel and they sorted that out. On arrival day, our flight was delayed and staff put my mind at ease when they say they stay on property half an hour after closing the reception. We even have a warm room to settle down in when it was pouring outside! I was told that housekeeping is usually done weekly so on day 3, we called to request for drink sachets to be topped up, rubbish taken out and vacuuming. This was all done, and additionally they changed towels and made the beds too. Only miss was milk topup (which to be fair, we didn’t request for). By now it sounds perfect since it’s priced affordably for 4 pax. BUT… Property facilities and furnishing were visibly old and tired, which given the price range, is fair enough. Drain in shower area would overflow a little if you run a little too long (can’t help when you have little ones). Soundproofing needs work, we had “neighbors” for 2 nights, and they sang till 10! Worst, we ran into a drunk man (about 3mins walk from property) at 6.30pm…was a scary encounter for our kids. So I guess, you get what you pay for!

Couldn’t understand the front of house person who checked me in. Gave me the wrong room…and after driving for 5 hours I was not impressed. Rooms were noisy and I was woken up at 5am

Ok stay. The cabins are functional but somethings did not work so well. Kitchen could do with more utensils like a wooden spoon - not a big ask. TV did not work probably because of old battery in the remote. Bed was very comfortable, bathroom is tiny and it is not really possible to use the tiny sink. Bedding and towels were clean and of good quality. Location is fine but a bit of a walk from the centre -10 mins. Place was quiet and safe.

We had exceptional service. We needed to go to a meeting in Queenstown at 12.45 p.m. but when we arrived in Queenstown at around 11.00 a.m. the town was crowded and we coudn't see anywhere we could park. We decided to see if we could leave our car at Pinewood Lodge and walk back to town, about ten minutes walk. I went to reception. The receptionist checked our booking on the computer and said, "Your room's ready. You can move in now if you like." I accepted the offer. The receptionist pointed out the location, gave us the key and we moved in. If we are visiting Queenstown again, Pinewood Lodge will be our first choice place to stay.

I had an excellent stay here. The staff were extremely friendly and went out of their way to help with anything I needed. They even upgraded me to a cabin for free, which made the experience even better. The views from the property were beautiful, and the location is perfect—just a short walk from the town center but still quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend this place, especially staying in one of the cabins. I would absolutely stay here again.

The staff member behind the desk was rude and refused to be helpful in anyway, responded to questions with nasty answers The water in the shower was cold and one of the light switches was dodgy at best

Pinewood was a good find in Queenstown. Nice size room, comfortable beds, super clean and less than 10 min walk to the CBD. The place is really quiet and has a beautiful view of the mountains. My only complaint is about the reception. The person who made my check-in and check out was amazing! Super kind and informative, but on my third night, I needed to renew my wifi password (changes every 3 days), so I went to the reception at 8pm and a rude staff told me they were already close and that I needed to come back in the next day ( supposed be 10pm). She gave me the password, because I insisted a little bit, but with a really angry face.

Booked last minute and was very pleased with this facility. The front desk was so accommodating. Would recommend as a less expensive place to stay near the Centre District of Queenstown.

This is primarily a young persons hang out. Lots of young adults that stay out late and party (off premises). We had a problem the first night with noise but the staff was amazing and upgraded us to a larger and quieter room. We are very grateful and after the first night, we had an amazing time.

There is insufficient car parking for clients. We were told it would be first in forst served. If you dont get a park good luck finding one close by. The fire alarm went off atv2 in the morning and our building plus one other were vacated. No one turned up, no fire department, police or management. The fire brigade did arrive later after a customer called them. If it had been a real emergency the buildings would have burned down. Several customers and families remained locked out of their rooms after the fire alarm was turned off and it took an hour of waiting in the cold until someone turned up to let them in again. This resulted in a very poor nights sleep. Management and staff did not even offer an apology. I reccomend you stay somewhere else, we wont go back.

Clean and tidy accommodation and very friendly and happy to help staff

The room is clean and has everything we needed for an overnight stay. Easy checkin and checkout.

Super friendly and helpful staff, lovely welcome!

Clean quiet and close to town. Perfect place

Handy location near to city centre.

Basic accommodation BUT walking distance to town, great value, and very clean. Coffee and tea provided, super staff, and close enough to the gondola to walk.

Nice and close for walking to and from town/activities

Great little cabin with everything we needed. Perfect location just a few minutes walk out of the hustle of central Queenstown.

Good basic lodge/hotel very close to the city and tours. They have a kitchen if you want to buy your own food. Only 3 blocks to the grocery store and literally 5-10 minutes to downtown, waterfront, restaurants, shopping, tours, steam ship, etc. Fun town. Lots to do and a car is not necessary if you just want to take tours. Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound, Mt. Cook, LOTR tours are must do activities. Have a great time!!

Walking distance from town. Nice and new cabins .

The staff was very friendly. The rooms were clean and it was with walking distance to the main strip within 10 minutes and you’re about five minutes from the bus line. Excellent location.

Stayed in a private room which was great. Comfy beds. Shared kitchen and bathroom facilities were good too. All very conveniently located within a 15 min walk to Queenstown town centre. Lots of parking available. Really clean. Would stay again and definitely recommend

Clean and tidy, nice communal area/kitchen/lounge with everything we could need except a small pot 😂

A good stay overall. The shared kitchen facility in each block of rooms is great.

Chambre dans 1 bloc de 4 chambres avec 1 salle de douche partagée avec 1 seul toilette dans cette même pièce. Il était indiqué petit déjeuner inclus mais pas de petit déjeuner servi

Overprice Haddock go to the desk and ask for a towel. I had to make my own bed. There was no heat it was cold. The shower was broken and almost too hot to bear. No continental breakfast, as is common in most other places.

We stayed here for two nights during our trip to New Zealand and enjoyed this lodge. We didn't use any of the amenities offered, but the 'apartment' itself was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had most things we needed, like dishes for cooking and eating (but no baking sheets for the oven). It was a quick 8ish minute walk to the supermarket from here, and about the same to the downtown area. Lots of dining options around and very walkable. It was clean and reception was friendly and helpful. The view out our back window of the mountains was beautiful! We would stay here again.

Nice and quiet. Good kitchen and rooms. Definitely recommended
