We stayed here last August for 7 nights. Overall our experience was very good. Jan and Wayne are very friendly and helpful and provided us with many good recommendations for dining and activities. The room location was very good being a short walking distance to the main road in Queenstown. The room contained basic items which met our needs for... More

My wife and I stayed at The Whistler for 4 nights in March-April 2012. It's location is great, only a 5 minute walk from the Queenstown CBD. We stayed in room 19, and we found the room to be neat, tidy, and well presented. The hosts were both very friendly and helpful. My only criticisms would include: 1. Having a... More

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment for three nights at the end of March. It was clean, comfortable and pleasant.Nice outlook of the mountain and the gondola. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Busy road during the day but very quiet at night. Extremely reasonable rates. Easy flat walk to town.

The new managers (about 18 months) Wayne and Jan are true gems! And they themselves make sure the rooms are spot on. Easy walking distance over the sport greens to town, there is no parking in town so that is excellent to leave the car here. Nothing is far from there. Road in front is very busy (a main thoroughfare),... More

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights in early Feb 2012. I had room 18 which was on the top floor and faced the town and gondola. The unit was well equiped with a kitchen, large bathroom and was extremely clean. It had a large balcony with outdoor setting and great views. The road directly out front is very... More

We have had seven nights at the Whistler in Gorge Road Queenstown. I am so pleased we chose to stay there. Several five star reviews on Tripadvisor helped with our decision. We had room 17. It is beautifully decorated, with a couch and chair, stool, big screen TV and a lovely, well appointed kitchen with full size fridge. Two sliding... More

Lovely people and close to town but there is quite a bit of traffic noise. The rooms are a good size but quite worn and some of the appliances need replacing.

We are very disappointed to read this review as it is standard accommodation business practice to request credit card information and payment on arrival. Threatening us with legal action for doing this was inappropriate and embarrassing for us and the other guests who were waiting in Reception at the time to check in. Our policy over New Years Eve is... More

A 'close-to-all-the-important-stuff' location and well appointed, comfortable rooms make The Chancellor great value for money. The rooms were modern and impeccably clean. The staff were absolutely brilliant. Happy and helpful, they left my Australian girlfriend convinced that New Zealanders really are the friendliest people in the world. Go see for yourself.
