At the top of the hill. Not far from Queenstown centre, but be ready for a hilly walk. Great place to stay, and free parking

I had a great stay at Melbourne Lodge. Staff were very friendly and polite and the property was kept clean. Shared bathrooms maintained very well and kitchen was well equipped. Parking was available onsite and free, but was busy and not always easy to find a space (although this could be typical in Queenstown!) 5 mins walk into the main town which was great!

The staff here were extremely friendly and helpful. The location is close to town. It looks like a staircase is almost finished that will reduce yhe walking distance. The rug was stained and we had issues with the heat, but that wasnt enough to affecy our overall experience.

Good hotel a little out of town.
Good comfortable hotel in a very location of Queenstown. It has a range of rooms depending on your requirements. Friendly staff. There are no toasters or microwaves in our room but there is a guest lounge with toaster, chairs etc.

Hotel was very average, probably least comfortable of all the hotels. Service was mediocre since the reception was often closed and self-serve. Room arrangement was strange but generally complete.
