It would be 5 stars if the doors didn’t have a habit of being very loud and therefore waking people up. Staff were amazing, facilities were good.

Overall pretty good place to stay. Would like to have a spot cleaning on third day. Otherwise good accomodations. Had a nice view from room. Shower could use a bit of an upgrade but not too bad.

The staff was friendly. The room was a little older but it was clean and the beds were comfortable. It is walking distance to the city center and a grocery store. Also walkable to the gondola which is one of the main attractions of the city. I would stay there again. The price was fair and the WiFi worked well. Only small complaint would be that the shower had no cool temperature. It was hot or hotter.

Happy with the private bathroom. The room was basic but clean. Glad to have our own private carpark. Pinewood is close to the gondola; so it's in a convenient location. It's pricey for what you get (compared to Tasmania where we're from). But everything's overpriced in Queenstown.

Great option for staying in Queenstown. Location is great as it’s close to the city core but very quiet. We stayed in a cabin unit and had everything we needed for the stay in the unit. The only 2 things we disliked was how small the bathroom sink was, and how tight the parking area was. Other than that, we had a nice stay at Pinewood.

The staff here are great and we booked it so that we had access to a kitchen, which was great (bbqs are also a plus). We knew that we would be sharing a bathroom, however, the building we were in had 1 toilet DOWNSTAIRS for 8 people. We have learned our lesson and won’t be booking a shared bathroom accommodation in the future. Even if it had been on the same floor as our room that would have been better, but we are older and walking downstairs at our age isn’t the best. There were also other guests who got up at 4am on our last morning and made a lot of noise, obviously not the hostel’s fault, but the walls are thin and the stairs are old and noisy.

I had an excellent stay here. The staff were extremely friendly and went out of their way to help with anything I needed. They even upgraded me to a cabin for free, which made the experience even better.
The views from the property were beautiful, and the location is perfect—just a short walk from the town center but still quiet and peaceful.
Highly recommend this place, especially staying in one of the cabins. I would absolutely stay here again.

Decent room to sleep in and go from to explore Queenstown. Room could do with a fan or a mini fridge as it could get quite warm in there and the windows open didn’t alleviate that too much. Cleaning staff were lovely.

Clean, good facilities, large room, kitchen and living was comfortable.
Would have liked to be able to stay in common room post check out whilst waiting for flight as the website said when booking but this wasnt really available except for sitting at reception.
Reception staff were really nice but other staff around the site very impersonal.

Out of all the stays In New Zealand , no doubt the worst one !!! Very noisy , doors getting slammed all nights , very poor quality of cleaning in communal areas . Very strong smell . Very old property in general . Only a couple of good things about this property are customer service and location for no doubt.
