The place was like an oven when we walked in as the west facing windows were not covered by curtins. Hair dryer was missing. Staff had already left when we arrived at 6:30pm. Parking spaces are limited.

Great view of the lake. The air-conditioning unit was great to cool down the place.

The area is nearby flats with working holidayers, so on the weekend you can hear a bit of noise from the street at night. If you are older or not as fit the walk up the hill from town is a bit much. the only AC is in the living area however they did give us one extra fan.

Well-lit room with balcony in living area, private and didn't have to share with other rooms. Comfy and clean beds as well as recently done bathroom. Our room also was next to a cherry tree that we had freedom to pick and eat the fruit

The room was very hot and we only had a small fan. There was also a strange smell that meant we had to open the window / put the fan on every time we came back to the room.

The room was big enough for the two of us. The bed was very comfy. The shared areas (the living room, kitchen facilities, shower and toilet) were very clean and great to use. The view from our room / living area was beautiful. The staff were lovely.

They have some parking but no space for campers, there's a lot of construction around there now.

Very convenient location; Nice deck with views and big room with cooking and refer. Bed was fine; one bathroom and shower was newly remodeled, other two were pretty old. Staff were very helpful. It's a place for those want a quiet place.

Roadworks out front of motel

Excellent location

The property is in need of a facelift. The bathrooms are tired and lack of A/C in rooms make for a hot night, albeit a pedestal fan is provided.

Conveniently located 5-10 min walk from city centre. For the price, it would be hard to find a place with a private room so close to town. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Queenstown is an expensive place to stay so at this price point Melbourne Lodge is in the budget class. It's looking a little tired in places and could be with an extra TLC but given the price the rooms are more than comfortable and more than acceptable. Being a 5-minute walk to the centre of Queenstown is a big bonus but it's a 10-minute walk back up the hill (QT is not flat). We stay there on 3 separate occasions so that says it all.

Stayed in December 2023

There was construction going on near the lodge, do take note to take the alternative route there.

The location was great, walkable distance to the town & the beach. There were alot of variety of food nearby too. The room was very big, but there's some steps involved. Do take note if you have huge luggage.

The staff was really accommodating for my request to hold baggage and early check out. I felt safe and that my luggage was well kept. The room is simple, not much charm but perfect for sleeping

Was expecting breakfast as it was stated as a bed and breakfast in the catalogue inside the room.

Good location, comfortable.

Lots of stairs

Carpark, I think designated marked car parks for rooms would be helpful. And showers could do with some maintenance. Floor didn't feel very sturdy

Pretty little room and comfortable

Seemed a bit dated and a bit run down, certainly felt like a ‘budget’ option

Was sufficient for our one night stay, comfortable beds and adequate space

The toilet/bathroom in the foyer/communal area didn't seem to be cleaned often, toilet paper not renewed etc. when I was there we couldn't drink the Queenstown water (not the place's fault at all) they had the big bottled water for communal drinking but they weren't always replaced when the big bottles were empty.

The location was excellent, I got the little studio type room with a kitchenette etc. Good view and decent bathroom.

Parking was difficult.

Comfy beds and great bathroom.

Too many stairs ( small but annoying). Hard to open fire doors.

Location. Clean.

Not a fan of the sheet metal stored on our balcony but I didn't raise it at the time as our kids were older and it wasn't a hazard. If I'd had younger kids I'd have asked for it to be removed. All else was fantastic though.

Room was very comfortable and staff were great. Location is an easy walk to town (less easy on the way home but that's Queenstown for you), also super convenient for buses around town and surrounding areas.

Could hear people and bathroom next door a little too clearly. But we managed (after midnight). Enough cutlery plates cups, spoons etc for 4, as the room is for 4 people would be useful!

Good location. For a family room it was well set out. We were only one night, so worked well for us.

The property design is quite good. Especially the shower room has glass door separated with the toilet. Quite like it, because you don’t have to stand inside the bathtub like most of the places.

Nothing, it was great

Private room, small but cute. Nice peaceful property with views over the lake. Would stay again.

Shared bathrooms were below par

Great location. Sort of a hostel vibe with a shared lounge kitchen that worked well. Comfortable bed . We did the shared bath option. Very affordable . Bathrooms need attention though. They do have newer ensuite options which is probably nicer. Overall a great option for a good price

The 2 bedroom apartment was very warm in the afternoon as it was under direct sun and glass windows. Level 2, staircase narrow, some effort to bring your luggage up the stairs.

The shower was great. Convenient location.

Roadworks made it a bit further to walk from the main part of Queenstown, but that's not the hotel's fault.

The budget rooms involve sharing a bathroom, but there were plenty of toilets and showers. The hotel has a very nice guest lounge, with cooking facilities and communal fridges, as well as dining tables, comfortable couches and a balcony with good view of the lake. I also had one night in an ensuite room, which was quite luxurious
