We loved our stay The Waterfront Wynyard! Lovely location, very comfy bed in immaculate room. A bit of humour in signage and in restaurant, where there are some quirky things to look at as well as some beautiful wooden boxes for sale, and breakfast was fantastic. Really a fun and pleasant place in a cute town.

Great food and very friendly

Really lovely owners and staff. The food was delicious and very attentive. The room is older but was fine except for the shower over the bath. Perhaps I should have asked for a room with a shower only. I will next time in Queenstown.

Very tired property in a very tired town

This property is very tired and stuck in the 1980s. Clearly no money to update any aspects of the property. The restaurant serves reasonable food even though they forgot our order on the 2nd night. There was no daily service which was not told to us on check in and for the price should be included. They did provide us additional towels on request. Unfortunately this property is indicative of the whole town.

Bathroom smelt like water damage mould and couldn’t shower because water was cold first two nights. When asked why wasn’t hot water was told hotel ran out of gas, the hot water system in our room must have been shared with other units however and was used up before we got a turn.

Really didn’t like the property,it was so dated everything was brown and furnished from the 70’s. The room needed a paint job, markings all around the room the curtains were falling to pieces, holes in them. Really had trouble feeling comfortable in the unit. The bathroom was terrible, not good for older people to have to step into a bathtub for a shower. Would we stay again, no.
