Blue Peaks Lodge

**Room Facilities:** The room is very spacious, with a bedroom, a living room, and kitchen facilities. It was very comfortable for three people to stay for a week. The hotel is newly renovated, so all the cabinets, facilities, and kitchen utensils are brand new and complete, providing a great experience. We stayed in winter and were worried it might be cold, but the heater worked exceptionally well, keeping the room warm. Mattress is firm which is great! **Hotel Location:** The location is excellent, and it received high ratings in previous reviews. There is a bus stop right outside, making it very convenient to get to the airport and Arrowtown, especially when carrying luggage. It’s just as convenient as taking a taxi. There's also a quiet road leading down from the hotel to Queenstown Garden, making it easy to walk along the lake, which is much closer than accommodations in the town center. Getting to the center is also very convenient; there is a shortcut that leads directly to the town center and the lakeside in just 5 minutes. Just be aware that the path is a bit steep, so don't rush. This path is well-lit at night, and many people use it, so it feels safe to walk. **Hotel Service:** The hotel met my requirements. I requested a quiet room on the ground floor as my parents are elderly and stairs are inconvenient for them. They arranged a ground floor room for us facing away from the road. Although it's on the ground floor, it’s not damp because there are rooms below us due to the terrain. Our room faced the snow-capped mountains, offering a great view, including the Skyline Gondola and the restaurant on the hillside. **Staff:** The staff were very nice and caring. On the day we checked in, it was raining and the room wasn’t ready yet. My dad sat at the front desk while my mom and I went to explore the town. During this time, the front desk staff offered my dad coffee. Whenever we encountered any issues in the room, they responded very quickly.

The room was new and everything in the room felt new. The closeness of the place to the town centre was so convenient to get our daily Patagonia hot chocolate fix! Plus all the restos nearby. The room was also quiet and the blockout curtains was a bonus! Helped us sleep in longer with the kids. Family friendly facility. Highly recommend staying at this place.

Location. Bus availability nearby. Helpful pleasant staff

The layout of the room was space maximising so it felt quite spacious for myself and definitely will not be too much of a squeeze if there were two people. Bed is comfortable. There is no air conditioning provided but there's a fan but I didn't really use it except to cool the room when I first entered. Location is accessible from town but it's up the slope so just something to keep in mind when travelling with suitcases. The shower stall was spacious with a good pressure for the shower but the sink narrow and small if you're the sort that likes to put a cup with your toothbrush and toothpaste by the sink but that didn't bother me at all.

Self contained kitchen but a chopping board is missing Room size: good and a small dinning table in the room. Location: 10min walk to town center. Washing machines: need to purchase token from reception. They have clothes hanging rack available We stayed at the other side of the motel which require took a stair case down to room. Our department day coincided with raining heavily in the morning, loading our luggage to car without getting wet was a challenge esp if there was a big campaign with trailer parking there.
