  Fantastic location with amazing views

  24 Feb 2026

  We had a great stay in this lovely lodge. The views from the rooms are amazing and the hosts Wendy and David were most welcoming with plenty of local knowledge to help plan your stay. The location on the fringe of Queenstown was perfect, it was so peaceful and yet an easy 10min bus ride took you into the middle of the town which I would recommend as there was limited free parking. The rooms were immaculate and the included breakfast was excellent. We hired e bikes from Vertigo centrally located in town and had a great ride north for about 3 hours. The luge is good fun with great views from the gondola. There is a lovely beach close to the lodge where you can swim. I would definitely return, thank you.

  Simply the best! We were a month into our stay and have been lucky enough to enjoy some superb accommodation and this is one we will treasure for ever. Wendy and Dave have a beautiful property and it was a complete privilege to stay there. They are excellent hosts and we were so relaxed and happy there.

  An Unforgettable Honeymoon Experience

  31 Dec 2025

  We stayed at Hidden Lodge Queenstown for three nights as part of our honeymoon, and it was one of the highlights of our trip.The lodge is owned and run by David and Wendy, who was living on-site and personally care for the property. Their son was also around during our stay. Despite this, their presence never felt intrusive — instead, it reinforced how genuinely well cared for the lodge is.The views are breathtaking. With Lake Wakatipu in front and the Remarkables mountains behind, the scenery is even better in person than in photos. The lodge is beautifully designed with an open, airy layout. Both the rooms and common areas are positioned to maximise the views, paired with décor that feels luxurious yet relaxed. The facilities are also immaculate, and every room consistently smells fresh and pleasant — a small detail that makes a big difference.What truly sets Hidden Lodge apart is the warmth of the family. The service felt personal, attentive, and genuinely caring. Wendy was exceptional — proactive, highly organised, and seemingly prepared for every question, often with neatly printed information ready. She offered excellent local insights and gladly offered to help with bookings.David, an ex-chef, prepares breakfast each morning, and it was outstanding. Even a simple omelette tasted incredible. His warmth and personality also made breakfast conversations something we looked forward to daily.We even ran into their son while shopping in Queenstown CBD, where he was working at one of the stores. He was just as friendly and helpful, reinforcing the genuine family atmosphere.As animal lovers, we also adored Coco the dog and Enza the cat, who live on-site. Both are very friendly and added a lot of joy to our stay. The hosts were also thoughtful, ensuring the pets were only in shared areas when guests were comfortable.In terms of facilities, Hidden Lodge is absolutely five-star. However, the true highlight is the warmth and authenticity of the hosts. While some may feel the price is high, we believe the experience goes well beyond many traditional five-star accommodations.We would absolutely return and highly recommend Hidden Lodge Queenstown to anyone looking for something truly special. Hidden Lodge, General Manager at Hidden Lodge, responded to this review Thank you for your very kind and complimentary review - we are so thrilled your honeymoon was enjoyed at Hidden Lodge and with ourselves. We hope to welcome you another time, safe travels home. Wendy, David, Sam and Coco & Enza :))
