We stayed here for 4 nights (family - two adults and two teenagers), and it was just perfect for our stay. Two bedrooms (one queen, and one with two singles). The lodge was large enough to give everybody space, with two bathrooms. The lodge was self-contained with a full kitchen and laundry facilities. It was serviced daily, and the complementary chocolates and muffins each day was a very nice touch! It is a walkable distance into town, but it is on a steep hill so you'd only walk if you're very fit! The views were amazing! A very comfortable stay! We would stay here again if we're every lucky enough to come back.

The host and staff were incredibly friendly. The highlight of the hotel was the stunning lake view. Waking up to the serene beauty of the lake each morning was a real treat. Also there is a lovely garden with beautiful flowers, It was such a delight to enjoying tea or wine while soaking in the lake view. Although the hotel is a bit distant from downtown, it's only a 10-minute walk away. And if you prefer, taking an Uber is quite convenient and affordable, costing just NZ$9.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Balmoral Lodge. Sis made us feel right at home, and you couldn’t ask for a better view. It was an easy walk to the downtown area as long as you’re not afraid of hills, and there was plenty of parking if you’re driving and prefer to get around town that way. Would happily stay again and recommend to friends/family!

This place was perfect, comfy beds, fresh muffins in the morning, view from the garden was amazing and very close to town. Can literally walk to town in 10 minutes. Owner was very friendly and so was her little dog which may visit you while having a coffee in the garden. Would definitely stay again next time I am in queenstown.

Balmoral Lodge is a house up the hill from the centre of Queenstown. It is a nice clean house and our room had its own good clean bathroom and shower. The lady who comes in each day to clean the rooms is so kind and helpful and did our washing for us. It is a steep hill to walk from town but if you don't want the 10 minute walk it's easy enough to grab a cab.

Our family had a wonderful stay in thr two bedroom and king room. The garden patio outside the living area was a welcome surprise and the most beautiful views of Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu. Wish we could have stayed longer. The owner Cis and her friendly doggo Benji were lovely and accomodating. Would highly recommended this as a home away from home whilst exploring Queenstown.

Pictures of the views for Thai place didn’t do this place justice. Our views from our windows were gorgeous! The Hostess was very nice and receptive to our needs. Although the house was on a busy street, we didn’t feel like the place was too noisy. Easy walking distance to downtown, bit of a climb coming back from CBD. Highly recommended for extended stays, just make sure you plan for breakfasts.

What a wonderful lodge! I had the most pleasant stay after leaving another hotel. The view from the room was worthwhile. You could see straight to the mountains, and there's so much natural sunlight. It was so cozy that I didn't want to explore the town as much. Balmoral Lodge is a 15 minute walk downhill to Queenstown, but I would recommend taking a ride share back up since the hills can be brutal. The view is totally worth being a little farther from the city center. I also took a moment to speak with the owner of the Lodge. She's so kind and wonderful to talk to. She also has a dog, Benji, who greets people as they check in. I would stay here again.

It was an easy walk to the downtown area as long as you’re not afraid of hills, and there was plenty of parking if you’re driving and prefer to get around town that way.

Would happily stay again and recommend to friends/family!
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Balmoral Lodge. Sis made us feel right at home, and you couldn’t ask for a better view. It was an easy walk to the downtown area as long as you’re not afraid of hills, and there was plenty of parking if you’re driving and prefer to get around town that way. Would happily stay again and recommend to friends/family!

Pictures of the views for Thai place didn’t do this place justice. Our views from our windows were gorgeous! The Hostess was very nice and receptive to our needs. Although the house was on a busy street, we didn’t feel like the place was too noisy. Easy walking distance to downtown, bit of a climb coming back from CBD. Highly recommended for extended stays, just make sure you plan for breakfasts.

Balmoral Lodge is a house up the hill from the centre of Queenstown. It is a nice clean house and our room had its own good clean bathroom and shower. The lady who comes in each day to clean the rooms is so kind and helpful and did our washing for us. It is a steep hill to walk from town but if you don't want the 10 minute walk it's easy enough to grab a cab.

We had a great stay at Balmoral Lodge. The lodge is in a beautiful location overlooking the lake. The property is a little dated but the rooms are comfortable and well-appointed.

What a wonderful lodge! I had the most pleasant stay after leaving another hotel. The view from the room was worthwhile. You could see straight to the mountains, and there's so much natural sunlight. It was so cozy that I didn't want to explore the town as much. Balmoral Lodge is a 15 minute walk downhill to Queenstown, but I would recommend taking a ride share back up since the hills can be brutal. The view is totally worth being a little farther from the city center. I also took a moment to speak with the owner of the Lodge. She's so kind and wonderful to talk to. She also has a dog, Benji, who greets people as they check in. I would stay here again.

The Balmoral Lodge was a great spot for our Queenstown stay. Although it was up the hill, it was quite convenient and provided a beautiful view of the lake. Our stay was wonderful and would highly recommend it to visitors. We also really appreciated on-site parking!

We stayed here for 4 nights (family - two adults and two teenagers), and it was just perfect for our stay. Two bedrooms (one queen, and one with two singles). The lodge was large enough to give everybody space, with two bathrooms. The lodge was self-contained with a full kitchen and laundry facilities. It was serviced daily, and the complementary chocolates and muffins each day was a very nice touch! It is a walkable distance into town, but it is on a steep hill so you'd only walk if you're very fit! The views were amazing! A very comfortable stay! We would stay here again if we're every lucky enough to come back.

We stayed there for 3 nights, in the two bedroom studio apartment. Really great host, clean property, walkable to the city (keeping in mind the uphill), muffins and chocolates everyday were a bonus! Really enjoyed staying there. Highly recommended. Laundry and kitchen was a bonus too :)

Every detail is attended too. Muffins and tea in my room in the morning and snacks and cocktails in living room in the evening. Views were amazing and landlady went above and beyond to be helpful to me. Loved this place. A little piece of serenity.

This place was perfect, comfy beds, fresh muffins in the morning, view from the garden was amazing and very close to town. Can literally walk to town in 10 minutes. Owner was very friendly and so was her little dog which may visit you while having a coffee in the garden. Would definitely stay again next time I am in queenstown.

This accommodation has a beautiful view and is still close enough to walk into town. I had a snowboarding accident and the owners were incredibly accommodating to this and included a free breakfast, which was very kind and thoughtful of them. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting an affordable place to stay that overlooks Queenstown’s beauty.

The view is absolutely amazing. We didn’t have a car but there was ample parking space. One can easily tell that there’s years of experience behind the excellent service. Little personal touches made our stay even more pleasant.
