We had the most incredible stay at Coronet Ridge Resort. From the moment we arrived, we received a warm welcome from the staff, who went above and beyond — nothing was ever too much trouble. We stayed in a suite with a stunning view over the Shotover Gorge, which was absolutely breathtaking. The hotel has been recently refurbished and the design is beautifully done, creating a relaxed, modern, and welcoming atmosphere throughout. Breakfast in the restaurant was delicious, and the incredible views made it even more special. It was very hard to check out and leave such a beautiful place. I would highly recommend Coronet Ridge Resort to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay.

Our final stay after time visiting NZ, Coronet Ridge was definitely a treat. Staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. Room was spacious, bed was comfy, bathroom is nice. The views out of the back of the property are unreal; take advantage of the hot tubs. Location is great to get out of the bustle of downtown, but still conveniently close. Would definitely recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful stay and absolutely loved this hotel. The rooms are beautiful and spotless. I took my mum to celebrate her birthday and we were lucky enough to receive a room upgrade which was so appreciated. The views from the room were incredible which made the stay extra special. The customer service was spectacular. Every staff member went out of their way to make us feel genuinely welcome and comfortable. Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious. We didn't get a chance to try the dinner but its definitely on our list for the next visit. We loved our stay and will definitely be returning. Just to note: the 4-star rating reflects the hotel prior to renovation - the renovated version is now 5-star!
