Had a great experience. The bathroom was so new they hadn’t finished caulking it yet so it leaked when we showered. The owner was aware of this and made extra provisions of towels until they had it scheduled to get fixed after our stay. The jacuzzi tub was huge and very comfortable but needs to be generously filled or water will splash everywhere when turned on. Our king bed was two twins together so it had a seem but the beds and pillows were comfortable and the sheets were soft. It was a 10-15...

Sherwood Queenstown

10/10 Excellent

I found this hotel completely by chance on Expedia. It was my absolute favorite hotel of the entire trip. You get a complimentary bottle of fresh, local milk at check-in. The rooms are extremely tastefully designed and modern. There are no TVs in the rooms, but it encourages you to explore what else the Sherwood has to offer. The restaurant and bar was some of the best I experienced. They grow their produce on site and make almost everything from scratch. You can even take yoga classes there...

Staff was helpful. Clean, comfortable, everything we needed. Clearly organized, and meticulous attention to detail. I needed an extra pillow and management was quick to respond. Lovely environment, although outdoor furniture in our room could be easily improved. Loved the small town and downtown area. A four square grocery was a 3 minute walk.. and we enjoyed a hot chicken for dinner. We managed to plate it and enjoy that as a light dinner in the mini kitchenette space. One evening we...

We stayed here for 8 nights and had a wonderful experience. The room was always spotless, and the housekeeping team did an excellent job throughout our stay. One of our kids' favourite parts was having breakfast by the window each morning while enjoying the stunning views . It was the perfect way to start the day. The restaurant and bar were both fantastic, with great food and a welcoming atmosphere. We also really appreciated the ski storage room. It was convenient, secure, and made it so...
