The Balmoral Lodge was a great spot for our Queenstown stay. Although it was up the hill, it was quite convenient and provided a beautiful view of the lake. Our stay was wonderful and would highly recommend it to visitors. We also really appreciated on-site parking!

Lovely place with exceptional lake and mountain views. Views and rooms are as lovely as the promo photos . Cosy, comfortable, welcoming owner and very helpful staff. Friendly atmosphere.

Vid is an AWESOME host!! The lodge is clean, walkable, has great parking and very comfortable beds!

10/10 Exceptional

Pictures of the views for Thai place didn’t do this place justice. Our views from our windows were gorgeous! The Hostess was very nice and receptive to our needs. Although the house was on a busy street, we didn’t feel like the place was too noisy. Easy walking distance to downtown, bit of a climb coming back from CBD. Highly recommended for extended stays, just make sure you plan for breakfasts.
Matthew, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Balmoral Lodge is a house up the hill from the centre of Queenstown. It is a nice clean house and our room had its own good clean bathroom and shower. The lady who comes in each day to clean the rooms is so kind and helpful and did our washing for us. It is a steep hill to walk from town but if you don't want the 10 minute walk it's easy enough to grab a cab.
Susan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here for 4 nights (family - two adults and two teenagers), and it was just perfect for our stay. Two bedrooms (one queen, and one with two singles). The lodge was large enough to give everybody space, with two bathrooms. The lodge was self-contained with a full kitchen and laundry facilities. It was serviced daily, and the complementary chocolates and muffins each day was a very nice touch! It is a walkable distance into town, but it is on a steep hill so you'd only walk if you're very fit! The views were amazing! A very comfortable stay! We would stay here again if we're every lucky enough to come back.

4/10 Fair

Great Views. Subpar Everywhere Else.

We spent 12 nights in New Zealand and the two at the Balmoral were the lowlight. While the view was magnificent and exactly as pictured, the room itself was stuffy, with mold in the heavy curtains, carpets, or both. The Balmoral uses candles and incense and open windows to mask the room's condition; when Queenstown's colder evening temps led to closing our room's windows, the inside air not only became unpleasant, but for anyone with allergies or any respiratory issues, nearly unbreathable (note that without screens on the windows, bugs and flies also freely entered...which is not a fault of the owner/operator, just something to be aware of as a future guest). We spent the first night weighing whether to check-out early and eat the cost of our second night (as the Hotels.com booking, done weeks earlier, was non-refundable, a red flag to us for future bookings) and only limited options (during high season, for under $400/night) prevented that outcome. With that all said, for older couples this place may be exactly what they're after! But for us it was not. Details like a bathtub with a rounded half shower curtain were odd and the uphill location (that provided the great view) requires a fitness level for returning at night's end.

매우 추천!!

너무 만족합니다 뷰도 멋있고 호스트 분들도 매우 친절하십니다 침실도 깨끗하게 정리되었으며 제공되는 머핀과 우유도 맛있었습니다~~ 시내에서 거리가 조금 있지만 그래서 밤에 보이는 별들도 너무 멋있었습니다 !! 그리고 강아지 벤지도 귀엽습니다 ^^ 덕분에 즐거운 허니문 보냈습니다!! 퀸스타운에 다시 간다면 또 방문할거에요!

I was NOT able to stay here due to health problems and the vertical climb to lodge. The property assured me I would get a refund, because they were able to rent unit that very same day. At this time i have NOT received the credit. Expedia was NOT available to assist with this issue

예쁜숙소

뷰가 너무예쁜 로지 입니다 경사가심해 주차가 조금어려워요 걸어서 몰에서 올때는 힘드네요 청소후 창문을 열어놓아서 밤에 돌아오면 벌레들이 들어와있어요

Room was wonderful. Loved the daily muffins. It is a steep climb to the property from downtown. Good hike or take a cab back. Very comfy bed. Limited kitchen access but was able to use microwave w owner’s permission.

We had a great stay at Balmoral Lodge. The lodge is in a beautiful location overlooking the lake. The property is a little dated but the rooms are comfortable and well-appointed.

Beautiful property, close to the city centre however far enough away you’re not in the chaos. Amazing views from the room. The staff and owner were so lovely and their little dog Benji was very welcoming. Would definitely be staying here again when we come back!

Perfect spot

Every detail is attended too. Muffins and tea in my room in the morning and snacks and cocktails in living room in the evening. Views were amazing and landlady went above and beyond to be helpful to me. Loved this place. A little piece of serenity.
