Earnslaw Lodge has great location and easy to access from the airport by bus, bus station is just in front of the hotel. Downtown is only 10 to 15 min walk from the hotel, so we mostly took a walk and took bus in the night hour. Room is spacious and basic amenities including microwave, utensils were provided. We reserved Lakeview room and the view was fantastic. We are leaving tomorrow afternoon ...

What an absolute gem. Stunning unobstructed views across and up the lake. Rooms have what you need (who stays in your room in Queenstown).

Stayed in August for a couple of nights. We booked way in advance but we kept delaying our arrival date of which the management were extremely understanding.

Getting to town was easy with a bus stop right outside. Would definitely stay again.
