Wendy and David were wonderful hosts. Somehow my booking came through as a 'honeymoon' although it wasn't, however we have decided this is a good excuse to now have a yearly honeymoon, so many thanks to Wendy and David for being such gracious hosts when we told them. The hot tub was a highlight, the room large and comfortable. Small touches - like chocolates, and underfloor heating were greatly appreciated. The breakfast, which is cooked to order at the time that suited you was delicious. The chef and hostess were lovely and friendly and full of suggestions for a day out. We did a winery tour and visited Arrowtown. Of course our stay was too short, but we will be back. The lodge is easily accessible by taking the bus from town or the airport and then getting the number 1 bus from town to the last stop. We found this easy and appreciated being somewhere quieter away from the bustle.

Our stay was amazing! From the breathtaking views to the warm hospitality, everything exceeded our expectations. The room was beautifully designed, with thoughtful touches like complimentary drinks and snacks, cozy underfloor heating in the bathroom (no dampness at all!), and a super comfortable memory foam pillow that made our sleep heavenly. Wendy and David, truly made our stay special. Wendy was incredibly welcoming, providing detailed recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed. And David, his breakfasts were absolutely delicious - better than any cafe in town! His local tips also led us to hidden spots we’d never visited before, despite coming to Queenstown yearly. The starry skies were magical at night without any distraction. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend - we’ll definitely be back!

None

The hospitality and constant guidance in regard to fun and exciting activities around Queenstown were absolutely second to none, really felt like I was back at home in my own house with my family. Wendy and David were by far the best hosts that my partner and I have ever encountered, as we do a lot of travelling we always meet a variety of people and naturally talk about our experience together and all we could say was how lovely the experience really was all round amazing place to stay.

The location is just outside of town enough that it is so quiet and relaxing, yet still close enough that it’s not a mission to get in and out. The $2 bus was so quick and easy, and the walk in the morning along the lake was so stunning. David’s breakfasts every morning were restaurant quality and delicious and he was happy to cater to our dietary needs. The room itself was huge and so warm and comfortable. Shower had great pressure and was so nice and hot after being out in the cold all day.

Everything!! The space is beautifully furnished and every detail has been thought of. We booked the Tahi suite, which was was spacious with gorgeous furniture. It also had a great view of the lake and nice balcony. The bathroom was spacious with a heater and towel warmer. The best part was the service. It is run by a husband & wife who are both incredible hosts. They were very responsive, had great recommendations, and offer made-to-order breakfast. There is guaranteed parking

Our only regret is we did not stay longer! We hope to return to Hidden Lodge again in the future.

Spacious beautiful room with gorgeous views. Very nice and warm hosts. Wendy and David go out of the way to make everyone feel at home. They are the best hosts ever, it makes you feel like you are staying with friends. They are helpful and really good people, offering you tips to make your stay even more awesome. The property only have 4 rooms so privacy is there. It feels very personal and nice, I would recommend and definitely stay there again. I booked the massage and it was the probably the best I ever had.

If I were to nitpick, the mattress were a little lumpy in the middle but it is not bad to give you backache.

The entire experience from start to finish was fantastic. Wendy, Dave and all the staff were really pleasant and happy to make recommendations to maximise your time in Queenstown. Both the common areas and the bedrooms are well designed and furnished to make the most of the absolutely stunning views. I highly recommend springing for the hot tub. There is something special about lazing it it whilst the sun goes down and the old steam boat chugs past. Literally one of the best places I have ever stayed.

lovely position with great views of the lake

We stayed for four nights and had a great room which opened directly out to the garden, but on one occasion our room wasn’t serviced at all and another day the bedding was just pulled up in a haphazard fashion and our towels weren’t changed at all. The breakfast was quite limited either a fruit/granola option or eggs, although I did get a couple of eggs as well as fruit when I asked for them on the last morning.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Hidden Lodge in Queenstown, hosted by the incredible David and Wendy. Their hospitality and kindness truly made our stay unforgettable. The lodge itself is perfectly nestled in a serene pocket of Queenstown, just a quick 5-minute drive from town. Our room was spacious, sparkling clean, and so cosy. Breakfast was prepared by the owners, which was such a lovely touch. They only used the freshest of ingredients and everything was so delicious, nothing was too much to ask for! If you're looking for a home away from home in Queenstown, Hidden Lodge with David and Wendy is the place to be. They are genuinely some of the most welcoming people we have ever met. Highly recommend!

Absolutely everything was perfect!

Our hosts Wendy and David were fantastic :) very friendly and highly informative of the region with great recommendations, especially for food, wine, restaurants and experiences - we took up many that we hadn't considered and weren't disappointed. For us, this was the perfect blend for a holiday - David cooked delicious breakfasts each morning and some nights we all sat around the fireplace on the sofas in the communal lounge area, chatting. We booked the Wha suite which was very spacious with its own separate lounge and dining area. We chose this room as it was large plus had its own private courtyard directly outside with great views of the lake and mountains. It was great to have off street parking provided, a gym in the lodge and the old school spa! We used the spa one night and it was a great experience, well set up and private. I've not seen or used a vintage spa before, it's quite cool with the wood fire underneath fueling the hot water.

There wasn't really anything that we didn't like - you can be as included or private as you wish here. Some guests used the communal areas, others not so much - it's whatever you feel like.
