A beautiful place, although decepts the distance from queenstown city center. Kawarau village looks and feels beautiful. The relaxation room is just excellent, only the whirl pool could have been a little more private. Breathtaking views, awesome food too.

We stayed at another hotel for the first 4 nights of our trip but once we checked in at the Hilton for the remaining 3 nights, we wished we had done the whole of our trip at the Hilton. It is a beautiful hotel with everything you'd expect in terms of room decor, service, amenities, etc.

The location is a 15 minute drive or water taxi from central Queenstown so that may put off some people - however if you have a car or don't mind paying for taxis etc then don't let it deter you.

Our relaxation suite room was stunning, spacious, quiet and opened out onto a lovely garden right on the lakefront.

We had dinner at Wakatipu grill two nights, the food was fantastic, as was the service.

Only criticisms are: parking is a little far from the rooms (they do offer valet parking at $10 per day though), the options for lunchtime dining are very limited - the noodle bar looked great but was closed at lunch and the cafe offered a very limited range of food, we had some takeaway meals from the pub which were nice but the serving sizes were tiny. The pool is nice but it's indoors which didn't really work for our summer break when we wanted to be outside. The air con in the room was quite noisy.

All minor things and overall I would definitely recommend staying here.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, new and modern hotel. The room we had was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful.

There is a free shuttle to and from the town centre which operates in the morning (note the shuttle leaves from the back of The Station downtown, rather than from the front). Water taxi was $15 for a return trip. The Remarkables Park Town Centre which has a supermarket is about a 20 min walk away.

We found our lunch options to be limited other than the Hotel restaurant, deli and room service, but this won't be a problem for those who have a car or just want to relax at the hotel.

As was mention earlier, if you want to stay near the town better not say there but I didnt find any problem using the shuttle or water taxi.
As we were there to rest and have a quality family time, the hotel was amazing.
The pool is very large and the spa very relaxing. They allow us to use the private cinema room which my son found amazing.
The service is great and they are very helpfull at all times.
The breakfast in the morning is great, with a lot of varieties and a chef to cook whatever you want.
The room is large, very well decorated with a beautiful fireplace and a huge bathroom.The bed is huge and very comfy.
The hotel is great for families and young kids.
We definitely recommend.
