Perfectly located and loved the amenities and staff. Only negative was no chair in the room; the only place to sit was on the bed. That said, I would not hesitate to go back.

What a unique and spectacular property. Staff was incredibly accommodating.

No better way to hot tub than the view you get at Onsen. Simply jaw dropping.

Nice relaxing excursion filled with beautiful sites and great accommodations. Staff was excellent.

Don’t truly have a rating for this as weather cancelled the trip and we were told this is not an infrequent occurrence. I am sure it is an excellent experience but I would have a back up plan and it would have been nice to know in advance there was a chance of not getting to go.

This was truly a great day. Our guide, Wayne, was extremely accommodating and his knowledge of the area was impressive.

Service and room were top notch. We needed to arrive early and they were so gracious and accommodating. Thank you to all of the staff at Millennium!!

Clean, convenient, steps from all the restaurants we wanted to try and staff was super helpful and available

Such a unique experience. We hope to return again. We cannot say enough wonderful words about the Eco Lodge.....

Easy check in, spacious home with amazing views

For us, this was all we needed but it is in an area where everything is basic so someone looking for 'glam' would not be happy. We loved the space, the nearby washer/dryer (much needed by this time in the trip), proximity to hiking trails and wonderful drives to scenic spots.

This is a basic hotel with all that we needed. I would give it a 5 but some folks may disagree with me because it is not 'high-end'. We needed a room for 2 nights knowing we would use it only to sleep and do a final pack. It more than accommodated us. We had room to spread out, washer/dryer to help deal with soaked dirty clothing before packing for a 28 hour flight. It is a 10 minute or so walk from the grocery store, Subway, local movie theater (see the short documentary about the fjordlands). We were totally happy and had no complaints

Right where you want to be to experience downtown

Such a wonderful experience. The room was spacious, had a lovely lake view and the manager and her family added so much to the experience. This lodge is a little off the beaten path but what we were looking for and we loved chatting with other guests who added so much to our trip experience.

Lots of gorgeous views

What a hoot to go out with a real sheep/cow/deer rancher. Truly an authentic experience

This tour is first off, something you will never see anywhere else. It is so well organized, very informative and the staff are totally engaged. We went at dusk and it was awesome!!!!

It was raining the day we did this BUT we learned that if it is not raining, the falls are not nearly as amazing. Our guide, Rob, was top-notch and we loved being able to walk a small part of the Milford Track and to see the Milford Sound up close.

The service, location and food were all excellent! Would highly recommend staying here!

Coolest place ever! It was our first PurePod experience and we absolutely loved it! They had provisioned us with breakfast and dinner as well and they were delicious!

Loved this hotel and setting! Beautiful views overlooking Lake Rotorua and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Added bonus was their adorable mini ponies and donkeys!!

Such a perfect way to start our trip and such pretty views of the city and surrounding areas!

Such an interactive and fun evening!

Sadly we had a lot of rain while we were out on the peninsula, but did have a great time on the train ride and shopping around town.

This was such a fun evening despite the rain! The caves are so beautiful!

Wow, so worth doing as the views from the helicopter were so gorgeous!!!!

Really enjoyed learning more about Kiwi birds and seeing them!

Lovely, quiet spot on a pear farm. It’s warm and charming with a beautiful view. Hosts are attentive and kind.

Loved this location, views, and walkability to everything!

We had a lovely stay in the purepod once we found it. The instructions to find it from where you part need to be updated as we had a hard time finding it for a bit. There is no sign for the car park as listed in the instructions and the directions for the track point you downhill when you really need to go uphill. The track should itself is overgrown to chin height so we were covered in grasses and very itchy by the time we found our way to the purepod itself. There was also a cannon (for birds in the vineyard is my guess) going off every few minutes until 9pm and starting again at 6am which makes the environment slightly less tranquil. The purepod itself is a dream, the food was amazing, and we had a lovely night, just a few details that were a surprise disappointment.

Lovely stay! A bit busy and crowded but overall wonderful location, walkable, and the laundry was really nice to have.

Loved the walkability to anywhere! Centrally located but away from the crowds and so quiet.

Didn’t have a clear night unfortunately so did virtual reality experience. Still learned a lot but different than authentic experience. Can’t control the weather so no one’s fault!

So fun! And Nikki was great to work with. She loved the route she scoped for us and really showed us so much character of the area from the rolling hills to the beaches.

Had to be rescheduled due to storm but reschedule was smooth and efficient and we had a wonderful time both on the boat and hike back!

Incredible experience. On the first leg piece driver was so fun and knowledgeable. He made the 4.5 hour drive pass by so easily and was a joy to spend time with. Cruise and fly were equally amazing and it was so cool to see the national park from so many different angles.

Beautiful views. Luge is very crowded, recommend going at a weird time to avoid crowds and lines. Staff were unfortunately cranky and rude.

No kayaking due to river level being too high but they quickly rearranged our trip and did the jet boat portion for us instead. This was a super fun a beautiful experience and we are very grateful they were able to accommodate some adventure for us despite the weather not working for kayaking.

Excellent all around

Excellent beyond Excellent

Excellent

Queenstown House B&B was the highlight of our stay in Queenstown and truly one of the best accommodations of our entire trip. The views were absolutely stunning—waking up to panoramic scenery over Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains was unforgettable. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. An added bonus was the wine tasting experience, which was both fun and thoughtfully curated—such a special touch that made our stay feel even more unique and personal. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Queenstown and would highly recommend Queenstown House B&B to anyone looking for comfort, beauty, and genuine hospitality.

The Doubtful Sound overnight cruise on the Southern Secret was absolutely unforgettable and one of the highlights of our New Zealand trip. The scenery was breathtaking—towering fjords, waterfalls, and an incredible sense of peace and remoteness. Spending the night in the sound and waking up to misty mountains and complete stillness was magical. The crew was warm and knowledgeable, the food excellent, and the cabins comfortable. A truly special experience that we would highly recommend.
