The property was absolutely spectacular, especially the views! The hosts David and Wendy were extremely friendly and courteous. I'd highly recommend the Hidden Lodge!

The hospitality and constant guidance in regard to fun and exciting activities around Queenstown were absolutely second to none, really felt like I was back at home in my own house with my family. Wendy and David were by far the best hosts that my partner and I have ever encountered, as we do a lot of travelling we always meet a variety of people and naturally talk about our experience together and all we could say was how lovely the experience really was all round amazing place to stay.

The location is just outside of town enough that it is so quiet and relaxing, yet still close enough that it’s not a mission to get in and out. The $2 bus was so quick and easy, and the walk in the morning along the lake was so stunning. David’s breakfasts every morning were restaurant quality and delicious and he was happy to cater to our dietary needs. The room itself was huge and so warm and comfortable. Shower had great pressure and was so nice and hot after being out in the cold all day.

Our stay was amazing! From the breathtaking views to the warm hospitality, everything exceeded our expectations. The room was beautifully designed, with thoughtful touches like complimentary drinks and snacks, cozy underfloor heating in the bathroom (no dampness at all!), and a super comfortable memory foam pillow that made our sleep heavenly. Wendy and David, truly made our stay special. Wendy was incredibly welcoming, providing detailed recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed. And David, his breakfasts were absolutely delicious - better than any cafe in town! His local tips also led us to hidden spots we’d never visited before, despite coming to Queenstown yearly. The starry skies were magical at night without any distraction. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend - we’ll definitely be back!

Wendy and David were wonderful hosts. Somehow my booking came through as a 'honeymoon' although it wasn't, however we have decided this is a good excuse to now have a yearly honeymoon, so many thanks to Wendy and David for being such gracious hosts when we told them. The hot tub was a highlight, the room large and comfortable. Small touches - like chocolates, and underfloor heating were greatly appreciated. The breakfast, which is cooked to order at the time that suited you was delicious. The chef and hostess were lovely and friendly and full of suggestions for a day out. We did a winery tour and visited Arrowtown. Of course our stay was too short, but we will be back. The lodge is easily accessible by taking the bus from town or the airport and then getting the number 1 bus from town to the last stop. We found this easy and appreciated being somewhere quieter away from the bustle.

The entire experience from start to finish was fantastic. Wendy, Dave and all the staff were really pleasant and happy to make recommendations to maximise your time in Queenstown. Both the common areas and the bedrooms are well designed and furnished to make the most of the absolutely stunning views. I highly recommend springing for the hot tub. There is something special about lazing it it whilst the sun goes down and the old steam boat chugs past. Literally one of the best places I have ever stayed.

Everything. Amazing views. Wendy and David went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and special. Hot breakfast each morning got our days off to great starts. Wendy and David had great tips to share for places to go, things to see and do, and places to eat. Top notch. We will be back!

Absolutely loved our stay at Hidden Lodge! The views over Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables were simply breathtaking, and the peaceful, secluded location made it feel like a true escape. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, and the rooms were beautifully designed—cozy, clean, and luxurious. Loved the gourmet breakfasts. Can’t recommend it enough—this place is a gem!

Our only regret is we did not stay longer! We hope to return to Hidden Lodge again in the future.

Everything!! The space is beautifully furnished and every detail has been thought of. We booked the Tahi suite, which was was spacious with gorgeous furniture. It also had a great view of the lake and nice balcony. The bathroom was spacious with a heater and towel warmer. The best part was the service. It is run by a husband & wife who are both incredible hosts. They were very responsive, had great recommendations, and offer made-to-order breakfast. There is guaranteed parking

The lady boss warmly received us on the day we checked in, and patiently helped us plan the attractions and called a taxi for us. The chef's skills are great and the breakfast is great. Thank you very much! It

The Hidden Lodge is a true hidden gem. The hosts - Wendy and David - were very welcoming, friendly, and helpful, treating their guests more like friends. The views from the lodge were spectacular. The breakfast, freshly prepared by David, was very nice, while giving us insider tips about activities , wine, and other things of our interest. Couldn't recommend this accommodation enough.
