Driftaway is a family friendly hub with all the basic necessities you need if you're camping, in a cabin or self-contained. Overlooking Lake Wakatipu and the reserve is a bonus makes it a homey place to stay. Wonderful location, accessible to many shops, Snap fitness gym and Kmart. With a slight hiccups when someone took our parking spot, knowing you only get one parking spot, but the reception lady was able to sort it out swiftly. The bed is comfortable I was able to sleep well the first night. With basic kitchen facilities in your own room, a big fridge, a well working internet speed, smart tv and panel wall heaters makes the room comfortable. I will definitely stay again to Driftaway if I will return to Queenstown.

Cleaners need to look up and clean the ceiling at the women's bathroom, plenty of black moulds resulting to poor exhaust when all the steam from all the showers working all at the same time, the condensation is sticking to the ceiling and dripping to the floors.

Excellent location and view over the lake (we were in cabin 3). The room (for there was only one) was clean and had a balcony with a table and chairs. Plenty of space to put down your suitcases and our car was parked just behind us up a small slope. We had not planned to stay here as we left our previous place a day early. The location was right near to the airport was not a noise issue and there were a number of shops and bars nearby to walk to in the evening for food and drink.

We thought that we had booked one of the cabins with a private bathroom but that was not the case and this meant middle of the night comfort breaks had to be done by walking out side to the main block not an issue for us as the weather was dry. It would not stop us using it again although the price was bit hight for one night.

The place is impeccably clean and offers stunning views, while being conveniently located near the city center. It’s equipped with an EV charger, which is a great touch. The kitchen is spacious and even has a separate area for outdoor barbecuing. What truly stands out is the ladies’ bathroom, which includes both a hair strengthening iron and a blow dryer, adding a thoughtful and luxurious touch. We also had a discount for the hot tub which has an amazing lake view!

The only downside during our stay was the heat; it was quite warm, and unfortunately, there was no air conditioning or fan available. We tried opening the windows and sliding door, but that allowed a lot of insects and flies to enter. My son had difficulty falling asleep due to the warm temperatures

Clean, location was beautiful, easy parking.

My only complaint is that they would not allow us to have a later check-out time. They even said no to just 30 min extra time.

We just stayed for a night at the property and wish we had time to stay more and explore it properly, but its a huge place for campervans as well as chalet rooms. The shared facilities were also nice and the room was very clean which was admirable!

The bathroom and kitchen facilities are very clean but unfortunately, in the washroom, there were many people who were not flushing the toilets after using it and most of them especially at night were dirty. Its not the fault of the owners but as its a shared property and so many people uses it, if possible a 24*7 maintenance would help to keep the toilets cleaner. Also, body wash & shampoo were not provided in the shared washrooms.

The location right on the lake is beautiful. We stayed in one of the cabins, which was roomy and very warm, especially with the heated mattress pad! The shared bathrooms are in the main building, only a few steps away, and they are super clean and spacious, no waiting to use a shower. We didn't use the communal kitchen much, but it was massive, well stocked, and a busy place where guest congregated to make meals and hang out. Little tip, they have hot tubs you can rent for an hour and Driftaway offers 50% for people staying at the hotel! The hot tubs are in private cabins that overlook the lake, perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring the area.

I liked everything! Of course I wish the bathroom wasn't in a separate building, but I knew about that when I first made my reservation. This place is a great deal and offers so much in terms of amenities and lodging.

Among the four places we stayed in New Zealand, this one truly stood out. Its fantastic lakeside setting offered stunning views of both the lake and the city. We loved the excellent facilities, which kept both the kids and adults happily entertained. Getting to Queenstown's CBD was a breeze with a short drive, convenient bus routes, or even a fun water taxi ride. Plus, the accommodation was impeccably clean and felt brand new.

Stayed in a cabin. Wow what a location. Queenstown CBD is not within walking distance, however there's a water taxi service. Water/ mountain views were spectacular. Great pub across the road. Room was spacious clean modern. Would defiantly stay again.

Even though the property had let me know that the cabin had no toilet or washing facilities. We found that they were a bit of a walk upstairs from our cabin. Anyone with mobility issues would find this a problem.

Great location on the lake. Well-equipped unit and very comfortable. Couple of design flaws though.

Some design flaws in these units. Firstly, the switches for the bed-side reading lights are at head height, so you have to get out of bed to turn them on and off. Secondly, the door to the unit is made of metal and acts like a huge radiator once the sun gets on it. So hot you can barely touch it and then heats up the room so that it is too hot inside.

We had a very small "cabin" in what is primarily a camper/tent parl. Everything was very clean, including the central facility. The queen bed was in the sitting/kitchen area with no door for privacy. Two twin beds in a room with a door. Single bathroom for all. Good for one night, and location was very nice close to the lake and walking path and easy access to a water taxi to Queenstown and a great breakfast spot on the water. Very quiet area despite airport nearby. Quick access to the airport.

Not having a door for the shared bedroom/kitchen/sitting area. Not realizing this was primarily for camper vans and tents and we were one of only a few of these types of units.
