Distinction Mackenzie Country Hotel

Possibly the worst hotel I’ve been in. Too many faults to mention but here are some. Rotting cornice over the old fashioned bath and shower, faulty door lock, no decent glasses or cups, only mirror hidden by the large tv on the dresser in front of tv. It seems that they are only interested tour bus groups (large ones there when we were there). A la Carte Menu as shown on website for breakfast simply does not exist - buffet only and not cheap. Notices about hot water usage, flooding of bathroom, fines for this or that!

Reception staff quite snippy. Landline ph in room didnt work.

The staff was very friendly and very helpful. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Nearby the hotel there is a food truck that sells very nice cod fish. Next to the food truck you could get the delicious pizza with generous fillings.

My standard room was tired, but clean. Not much of a view out of the window. Wifi worked well. The breakfast buffet was good and varied. Wish I could write more, but there was really not much that would make this hotel stand apart. The location to Lake Pukaki though is ideal.

Spacious room. Convenient stop en route to Wanaka

We travelled to Queenstown for work at least twice a year and it is a good half way point for us to stopover without driving over 6 hours straight. We always enjoyed their dinner buffet. The interior does look tired but clean. The room has 2 queen beds + 1 single and a bonus bath. Very good value for money for a short layover.

The dinner offerings are plentiful and breakfast buffet very good. Bar service and reception also VG. Rooms are tired and the hotel needs an upgrade or two e.g. water flow in shower awful

The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Hotel was outdated yet clean and comfortable.

Area around the property was full of nature and vast, breakfast served was very nice, however facility itself was very old and wasn't well maintained. Definitely not worth what we paid. Staff at the check in wasn't so friendly. Overall average.

Not bad
