The Balmoral Lodge was a great spot for our Queenstown stay. Although it was up the hill, it was quite convenient and provided a beautiful view of the lake. Our stay was wonderful and would highly recommend it to visitors. We also really appreciated on-site parking!

Balmoral Lodge is a house up the hill from the centre of Queenstown. It is a nice clean house and our room had its own good clean bathroom and shower. The lady who comes in each day to clean the rooms is so kind and helpful and did our washing for us. It is a steep hill to walk from town but if you don't want the 10 minute walk it's easy enough to grab a cab.

Great Views. Subpar Everywhere Else.
We spent 12 nights in New Zealand and the two at the Balmoral were the lowlight. While the view was magnificent and exactly as pictured, the room itself was stuffy, with mold in the heavy curtains, carpets, or both. The Balmoral uses candles and incense and open windows to mask the room's condition; when Queenstown's colder evening temps led to closing our room's windows, the inside air not only became unpleasant, but for anyone with allergies or any respiratory issues, nearly unbreathable (note that without screens on the windows, bugs and flies also freely entered...which is not a fault of the owner/operator, just something to be aware of as a future guest). We spent the first night weighing whether to check-out early and eat the cost of our second night (as the Hotels.com booking, done weeks earlier, was non-refundable, a red flag to us for future bookings) and only limited options (during high season, for under $400/night) prevented that outcome. With that all said, for older couples this place may be exactly what they're after! But for us it was not. Details like a bathtub with a rounded half shower curtain were odd and the uphill location (that provided the great view) requires a fitness level for returning at night's end.

This accommodation has a beautiful view and is still close enough to walk into town. I had a snowboarding accident and the owners were incredibly accommodating to this and included a free breakfast, which was very kind and thoughtful of them. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting an affordable place to stay that overlooks Queenstown’s beauty.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Balmoral Lodge. Sis made us feel right at home, and you couldn’t ask for a better view. It was an easy walk to the downtown area as long as you’re not afraid of hills, and there was plenty of parking if you’re driving and prefer to get around town that way. Would happily stay again and recommend to friends/family!
