The staff, facility, and room were top notch. The shuttle to and from the hotel to city center was a BIG bonus. Our only quibbles were the bathroom was cold and we would have liked a smaller sink with more counter top.

This is a beautiful property with ex Ellen’s customer service. They provided all of the details upon checkin and even walked us to our room to give more details. There was a shuttle that would take people into town. This is a very nice service and it would have been cumbersome without it since this isn’t close to the main district. If you are with a group or will be coming in and out on a frequent schedule and don’t want to wait for the hourly shuttle, you may consider staying closer downtown. The lounge is beautiful with a wonderful view. The restaurant has a nice view as well. The only thing we didn’t like is the lack of counter space in the bathroom. There is a huge sink, which is lovely, but a baby bath basin isn’t necessary. Otherwise we loved it!

This hotel is under a flight path !! Horrible. We were not made aware of this. My advice is to never use this hotel,,, unless you like aircraft noise.

We arrived in Queenstown and the hotel we had booked online was a disaster (a tiny 10x10 box room), so we quickly logged into Expedia and found The Rees. So glad that we did, as this is a home away from home property. We had a 2 bedroom Apartment, with a gorgeous view of the lake. The furnishings are top notch, and the building is safe, new, modern, quiet and extremely well staffed. We did not eat in their restaurant, so we can't comment on the food. Their shuttle service to downtown is amazing, as parking downtown in near impossible. All in all, we'd stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Queenstown.

We loved our stay in a hotel room and were sad to leave…. We loved the room and the view - parking was a breeze and we barely used the car as the shuttle service was great. Beautiful outlook from every window and faultless service (including delicious chocolates on our pillows). Just had to remember to put the bathroom blinds down for privacy 😝

Just a great property. Strategically located between airport and town, free shuttle to town, beautiful view of the lake, nicely appointed, super clean rooms - fantastic.

Located about 1.5km from Queenstown Centre, this is a great place to stay with friendly staff, clean rooms, a pretty good gym, and a lovely breakfast served in the dining room in the morning. The lobby and bar is fantastic, and there is a free shuttle bus run by the staff on the hour every hour (with some extra ones sometimes) that takes you into Queenstown Centre and back! This alone gives it 5 stars !

This hotel is not located so close to the town but has access to the beautiful lakeside trail that you can easy 30min stroll to the town. Booked for “Hotel Room, Lake View” expecting a full undisrupted view of beautiful Lake Wakatipu, but was only a partial view as there was another building across our balcony, so was quite disappointed as I specifically chose this room over cheaper room just for that lake view prestige. Although the building doesn’t looks so old, noise seems to easily travel between the rooms as we could hear next door guests’ talking/cutlery’s clinking/entering and exiting their room, likely due to the design fault of the building - two rooms sharing unit entrance. Overall the room was clean and spacious but other than wasn’t quite up to my expectation of “Luxury” hotel.
