We had a wonderful stay here. Upon arrival we were told to treat the place as our home, and it lived up to the promise. It was a truly boutique, personal experience to stay at this hotel. The staff led by Marina were all warm and welcoming and chatted with us about our plans in Queenstown, and were happy to entertain any adhoc requests and provide recommendations. The evening drinks and canapes were also a very nice touch.

Hands down, one of the best boutique lodges my wife and I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. We're a few months back from our Honeymoon trip to New Zealand but we still find ourselves talking about our time at the Hulbert House on a weekly basis. The hospitality and luxuriousness of our stay was unmatched. We travel quite often and can confidently say we have never been made to feel more at home than when we stayed here. The location is perfect logistically - just a short walk from the downtown area of Queenstown but secluded enough to enjoy the grounds and facilities in peace. Plenty of activities, tours, and trips are available in the adventure capital of New Zealand. The food was absolutely exquisite and the drinks were spectacular. Chris really knows how to make a mean Old Fashioned and my wife highly enjoyed her delicious French toast every morning at breakfast! The room we stayed in was beautiful and very memorable. The service was top-notch and the bed was beyond comfortable. The little things like leaving us chocolates, welcome notes, and well wishes for celebrating the start of our marriage were all added bonuses we really appreciated. Our absolute favorite way to wind down our evenings after a long day of exploring, was to enjoy a nightcap by the fireplace in the common room area. We will never forget meeting Chris & Tav (and their dog!), and Yuikio during our stay. They and the other staff were so kind and helpful in making our honeymoon a memorable experience for a lifetime. We are definitely already planning our 10 year wedding anniversary trip back to New Zealand and to once again enjoy everything the Hulbert House has to offer! We cannot recommend it enough!! Stay here if you are visiting. You will not regret it! From the newlyweds, Marek & Chelsea

Exceptional property. We had an amazing stay - made even more of a delight thanks to Louisa who did our checkin and helped settle us in at the late hour we arrived! Delicious canapés and breakfast.
