Fielden

A couple dining at an outdoor restaurant with a view of a modern building and lush greenery in the background.

Commodore Airport Hotel

Burnside

10/10 Excellent

With an airport hotel there is an expectation that they will be functional but have no character this hotel is an exception. We were very pleasantly surprised to find how good this hotel was. The rooms were nice and spacious with some nice little touches. The restaurant and bar area were nice and lively, might have had something to do with it being St Patrick's day as they had a live singer/guitar player. We had lunch and dinner there which was excellent, although the continental breakfast did...

We travel extensively and for us to recommend a hotel so highly is an exception.

The Rees Hotel and Luxury Apartments

Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

We stayed in the Rees for our last 2 nights in NZ, after a 3-week holiday touring the country, and enjoyed our time there. This was the only 5-star hotel we visited in during the holiday, and the lake view room was fantastic with good views from the balcony. Room and facilities was excellent, all staff (from reception to house keeping) very attentive and welcoming. The restaurant has received excellent reviews but I was surprised it was not larger or more lively. I think that many guests...
