We stayed 7 nights in a Junior Suite. It was well worth the extra to have a sitting area rather than having to sit on the bed. We were on the first floor overlooking the lake and did not find the traffic noise an issue. The room was clean and comfortable. It was showing a little age, but we expected... More

Absolutely the best location and just next to the lake. Rooms were neat and clean and they had a choice of pillows which caters for every individual . The hotel is in the best location close to all shopping,food and adventure areas. Had a fantastic stay. Memories will last a long time for sure.

We were at this hotel as part of a tour. Easy walking distance to town centre, close to the lake and great views. The room was clean but the bathroom was small and in need of an upgrade. Getting to the room from the ground floor was a pain...lift to 6th floor, walk into the back building and then another... More

Booked online through www.booking.com Booked a basic budget room but for an extra NZ$25.00 per night got an upgrade to a room with a view of the lake. Very clean, very comfortable and it helped that the conference I was attending was at the same venue. An easy 5 minute stroll into the centre of town. Will book and use... More

We have stayed here several times over the years and never complained but this time a few things need improving on. The meals were nice no complaints there but our check in was not handled very well.

I was traveling with my adult son, and when we checked in were given a room with one bed, they were very responsive to changing us to a double room right away. the dining room was very clean... More

Amazing views of lake Wakatipu. Central location with nice rooms amenties. Worth the money mainly for location - 10 min walk into town. Looks quite old from the outside but it seems must more updated once you're inside. Parking provided as well which is great, and theres plenty of street parking too.

We really enjoyed our stay at Rydges Lakeland Resort, even though it may be showing its age a little. The room was bright, airy and clean. The restaurant was excellent, although I recommend dining in the restaurant rather than in the bar, where service was lackluster. The location of the hotel was also excellent, with the views spectacular from the... More

I booked bed and breakfast after signing up as a priority guest (individual not company gave me a better rate). I booked into a 'superior lake facing king'.
