Perfect location right on the waterfront in central Queenstown with best views of Lake Wakatipu and the dramatic mountains from the room - which made it feel even more cosy. The interior is incredibly tasteful and elegant yet makes you feel very much at home. We only stayed for one night and would have loved to spend some time at... More

OK... So how do you review a hotel whose prices are in the same league as the Hotel de Crillon or the better suites at the Waldorf Astoria ? You would expect the same levels of appointment and service in addition to iconic location. On this comparison Eichardt's does not measure up. We stayed in a 2 br apt rather... More

Thanks for your feedback on your recent stay. Sorry to hear that your experience came across as less than perfect - that's what we are striving for. You're correct, the hotel and apartments are two quite different products, however thats more about style and layout than quality of fittings etc. And you cant beat the location - step out of...

This was a much anticipated stay, and Eichardts exceeded our high expectations. Stunning central, lakefront location, and a warm, friendly welcome when you arrive. The room was a delight - a warm fireplace, cosy sofas. Normally spending the evening in your hotel room is what you do when you've got nowhere else to go - but we didn't want to... More

Queenstown was the last stop on our trip around NZ and what a spectacular way to end our experience with a stay at Eichardt's!

We bought a cheap room for $600 or so NZ$ on wotif.com to give them a second change as the location is good and the character is there, just a bit too worn. I am glad we got the cheap deal (comprable to a suite at the milbrook gold resort or Sofitel) Is it trying too hard? Just not what... More

The suite we had in this hotel was luxurious yet homely. Spacious and well laid out with a warm cosey decor. I loved the bathroom. It was very spacious and seperated from the bedroom by the dressing room/kitchenette so the person up early didn't have to wake the late sleeper. Most importantly, the shower was amazing. The thing I hate... More
