"After an extensive makeover, Matakauri, positioned along milky-blue Lake Wakatipu, less than six miles from the center of Queenstown, has commanding views of the Big Three."
Condé Nast Traveler
"Warmly designed in burnt orange and russet colors against white walls and stone elements, the two simple-yet-cozy suites and eight outlying cottages have a beachy feel."

"Matakauri Lodge & Spa is just an eight-minute drive from the action, but feels a world away, set among cabbage trees and Douglas firs."

Star Service
"It is now one of the premier luxury inns in the region, and its affiliation with Relais and Chateaux is an indicator of the quality in the bedrooms and the kitchen."

"On Fernhill, just a few minutes from the town center, the Heritage is quieter than other local hotels and has great views of the Remarkables and Lake Wakatipu."

DK Eyewitness
"Award-winning, sophisticated European-style resort hotel... situated above Lake Wakatipu with views of the Remarkables."
Star Service
"Perched above Lake Wakatipu, partly surrounded by beech and pine forest, this subdued resort is a favorite with upper-middle-grade groups and individuals who want regional flavor close to the action."

Frommer's
"Accomplishes the neat trick of feeling intimate, despite the fact that it's a huge hotel. A lot of that has to do with the friendliness of the staff."

"The Heritage Queenstown Hotel is an upscale property in a rural setting with postcard views of Lake Wakatipu and Ben Lomond mountains, which are popular for skiing."
