The Rees Hotel & Luxury Apartments

Great staff, very friendly. Rating was helped due to the awesome view of the lake and mountains from the lounge room of our apartment (6021) without any buildings/roof tops in front to spoil it. Other rooms closer to reception will have the roof of more apartments below in the view. I think we were upgraded from a 1 bedroom executive room to a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom, which allowed us to spread out. Dinner at True South restaurant was very good, try out the crayfish toasted sandwich for entree (delicious). The Royalburn Station lamb backstrap for main meal was tender, succulent and cooked to perfection. Excellent courtesy bus service into Queenstown runs on the hour, make sure you book it both ways.

Loved the view from our room and the gas heater and comfy lounge. Plus having the full kitchen, would be great for a family. We chose to have breakfast included in our stay and it was a lovely breakfast.

Very spacious and luxurious room with balcony that had great views over the lake and mountains. A very comfortable king size bed which was next to a relaxing lounge. There was a seperate bathroom with spa bath and huge shower which you could see the view from but also close the blinds for privacy. Access to the lakeside walking path that took 35 minutes to walk to the Botanic Gardens next to the city centre. Was peaceful not to be in the middle of town with the noise and people. They offer a shuttle bus each hour into and out of the city that you can book in advance. Restaurant onsite is handy if you dont want to venture anywhere - can have a fancy meal or just order pizzas. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Plenty of parking available onsite.

From the moment I walked in I was greeted with a smile. Nothing was a problem, we were advised of the best place to park, escorted to our room. The pillows were amazing, and the bed was comfortable. The unit was warm, and had a lovely view, and all of the amenities in the room were clean, and it had everything. Most of all for us the room was quiet. We didn't hear any noise from any other residents. We also had a lovely dinner in the restaurant which was top class with a beautiful view.

Everything was exceptional! I had several things come up during this trip which required extra effort from the hotel staff-- from needing a firmer bed for a muscle spasm in my back to a special diet needed while staying there--they stepped up to meet my needs every time! It was my first time traveling alone half way across the world, but the Rees Hotel Staff created a sense of trust that I would have all I needed from them. The cleanliness of the laundry room as well as my room was also so appreciated! I used the hotel shuttle every day I was there and they were very dependable and punctual. This hotel made my trip to Queenstown a memorable one. THANK YOU to Fuka and the other exceptional staff members I had the pleasure to interact with!!!
