Located in Kurow, Valley Views Glamping provides accommodation with seating area. Private parking is available on site at this recently renovated property. The apartment features family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests. The unquiet experience allowed for off the grid experience with the want for nothing Hospitality was expectational the decor of our dome was out of magazine with a picture perfect view The snow on the mountains enhanced the experience and was complimented by the fire in the dome was the perfect stay for our 10 year wedding anniversary with a romantic couples outdoor bath what more could you ask for

Located on the main highway between Queenstown and Te Anau/Milford Sound, Kingston Holiday Park offers motel rooms and historic cottages.

Motel rooms include a kitchenette with portable cooktops, pans, a microwave and refrigerator, a wall-heater and a flat-screen TV. Some rooms boast a private spa bath. Bed linen, towels and tea/coffee making facilities are provided. I had a pleasant stay at Kingston TOP 10 Holiday Park. Compared to accommodation in Queenstown, the cost was very reasonable, offering great value for money. The lodging was well-separated, ensuring a quiet and peaceful environment. The shared kitchen facilities and shower rooms were also clean and well-maintained. One of the conveniences I appreciated was the ease of booking the Milford Sound coach tour, with the pickup location right in front of the accommodation. The only downside was the location, as it’s about a 30-minute drive from Queenstown. Additionally, there are no supermarkets nearby, so it’s necessary to purchase any supplies in advance. Fortunately, the accommodation provided this information beforehand, which was helpful. Overall, I had a comfortable stay and would recommend Kingston TOP 10 Holiday Park for those looking for a budget-friendly alternative near Queenstown.

Hanmer Glamping in Hanmer Springs provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and barbecue facilities. There is a private entrance at the luxury tent for the convenience of those who stay. The luxury tent also features free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Loved the location, how the window faced the view perfectly even with the rise of the sun beaming into the room in the morning. Wood fire hot tub under the stars was for sure a great part of the experience. I really liked how nothing was cheaped out on, great interior designing. Big plus for us having a proper coffee from the coffee machine
