I stayed for a few nights in a private double room which was one of the best I have experienced at hostel level. It was more like staying in a home rather than a hostel. My spotless room was situated downstairs and was beautifully furnished and decorated, with large doors opening onto the patio area giving stunning views over the... More

Stayed here for 3 nights last Dec with my hubby. Our room wasn't facing the lake but we weren't particular about it. We usually had meals at the balcony area where we could eat and enjoy the scenery at the same time. The common bathroom and kitchen were clean. We drove around in Queenstown. If you don't intend to rent... More

A group of four of us (two couples) stayed in the Butterfli Lodge in mid January for 7 nights. It was a wonderful experience. The quality of the room we stayed in was amazing for the price. The double room that we stayed in had an amazing view across the Lake to the Remarkables. It was a small room and... More

Had a great room with french doors overlooking the lake. stayed there on New Year's Eve, was one of the cheapest hostels we stayed in and also one of our favourites! The location downside is the steep walk to get there but only 10 min walk from town. would recommend to anyone!

The lodge was always clean and tidy, the kitchen and bathrooms also clean and in good condition and the lodge is very well maintained!! The view from the lounge is... More

This was one of our best decisions of our trip to Queenstown. Though the warmth, hospitality and the rooms were excellent, the breathtaking views of the Wakatipu lake and the adjoining mountains when peered through the windows were priceless. Value for money. Highly recommended. I would surely stay at this place if I make it to Queenstown sometime.

Stayed here in March 2012 for 2 nights in a double room and we were really surprised when we saw our room. Its on the lower level of the lodge with a door open to a patio with the wonderful view of Lake Wakatipu. We spend the whole afternoon there enjoying the view and breeze despite the cold weather imagine... More

Good clean rooms. No en-suite but there was never a queue for the numerous clean shared facilities. Nice view of the lake. They can book your activities for you, and give free wifi if they do. Having stayed in a few hostels in NZ, this has been my favourite so far. I'd recommend it. It is about 5-10 mins walk... More

A hostel in a quiet location with beautiful lake view, not a typical backpackers. Though we stayed in a twin room facing road, but we did have a good night sleep without any noise. Bed is comfy and warm. Room cost $68/night. There is a bathroom very near us and 2 more downstairs; shower and toilet together. Clean and quite... More
