I love Novotel in Queenstown. I always spend time here because it's close to everything yet removed from the buzz. The beds out of this world, massive too. I always book a lakefront room. Walking distance to my favourite restaurant Blue Kanu, ice-cream (Patagonia), the lovely Romer Gallery of breathtaking landscape photography by Stefan Romer... a must stay for exploring the area or go on a scenic flight and cruise to Milford Sound. I regret not swimming in the lake despite being literally in front of our room. Voodoo café also walking distance.

Very comfortable, high standard. Bed was very comfortable and the room was large although as we were lower down, trees meant it was not as light as it could have been. We still had a nice view of the lake. Great location - quiet but close to town centre.
