Lomond Lodge Motel & Apartments is located in the centre of Queenstown. It offers a variety of accommodation, just 50 metres from the lake front and gondola. Complimentary WiFi is available.

Lomond Lodge Motel is a short walk to many restaurants and shops. The staff can arrange excursions and day trips. The property is a 15-minute drive from Queenstown Airport. Coronet Peak is a 20-minute drive away and The Remarkables ski area is a 40-minute drive away.

The room was so luxurious, big comfy bed, soft padded carpet, warm ambient lighting, large tv with Netflix..! The lady at the front desk was so lovely and friendly, they gave us a free upgrade on our room as it was available to one with a lake view, which was so stunning. She was really helpful in accommodating us with parking, which we hadn’t booked beforehand, made everything simple and easy. Also loved that there was guest laundry 👍 Thank you!

Bella Vista Motel is within walking distance to the Queenstown city centre, the Skyline Gondala and Lake Wakatipu. It offers rooms with beautiful mountain views. Guests enjoy unlimited free WiFi.

The property offers a range of studios and apartments for guests to choose from. All studios have kitchenettes, which include tea/coffee making facilities, a refrigerator, microwave, kettle and toaster. The apartments have a full kitchen (excluding a stove top). All rooms come with TV, hairdryer, fan and safety deposit box. All rooms are serviced daily, if requested.

We rented the 3bdrm apartment, which is a studio with queen bed, with a door connected to a 1bdrm (two twin beds) and a large living area with a king bed plus dining plus the kitchen. Kitchen is very well equipped, in fact with most items sparkling clean like brand new! There is no stove, but there is a electric cooker/pan that can be used for stir fry or any use. There is even a rice cooker. The property manager is excellent, contacted us and remind us clearly how to check in as we arrived late night. The location is superb! Gondola/Luge/Paragliding/iFly activities are just few blocks walking. Also short walk to a part of the downtown where you find shops and others... In fact, the paragliding lands right on the patch of lawn, in front of the apartment. (Btw we tried the tandem gliding. We are not the adventurous type. Though this tandem gliding is scary to imagine, it is actually pretty doable. You walked a few steps and it takes off at 30+km/hr, then just swerve in the air within seconds. At most speed, if the pilot swerve left/right, speed might increase to at most 60+km/hr but majority of the time it sails smoothly. In no time, like 10-12 minutes, you will land on the field. Basically you just land and stand without even walking. Thanks to Bella Vista manager encouraging us to just park the car after check out, and go try it :) Btw the guidebook about Queenstown, available in the room is very resourceful and most complete of all tourist info about Queenstown. I would recommend you read that Guidebook in the Bella Vista apartment room if you are first timer to the area like us. You will get a good overview to plan out your activities and stay in Queenstown.

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    centrally located within Queenstown clean and tidy room practical kitchen with good supply of utensils, microwave, fridge etc. spacious bathroom with ample supply of cleaning products What really makes the difference is a table with two sitting chairs (so many motels have one chair which is strange as in many cases2 people stay)

    Great location (10/15 minute walk from the centre), the apartment was much more spacious than expected which was great, we were able to properly settle and relax (a nice contrast to motels !). Kitchen was well stocked. Great being able to do washing and get it dried.

    Wonderful room! I did a 2 week road trip with Queenstown being one of the few places where I stayed more than one night. The room felt like its own little apartment which was exactly what I needed after long days on the road and nightly motel switching. Very clean and comfortable. Kind and responsive hosts. Delightful neighbourhood. Very, very cute cat!

    I didn’t stay here myself (my son and his family did) but I saw the apartment. Great location, easy walk to town, lake views, full facilities with bath, shower laundry and fully equipped kitchen. Warm. Free parking on site for every apartment (although don’s rental vehicle was too tall but they were able to park at next door motel.) Rooms a good size.

    Lovely free upgrade to a modern unit with a nice view. It was very clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing, self catered stay. Free parking was a bonus as it can be difficult to find a park in town when it is busy. The motel is within easy walking distance to town, the Earnslaw and the gondola. It was handy having access to a guest laundry. Communication was always prompt and friendly.
