My wife and I debated the Hulbert House because there weren’t a lot of reviews, but we are so glad we booked anyway. We loved everything about this place. The location was great (views from the room are amazing), the breakfasts were excellent, and most of all the staff was unbelievable. The management at the hotel does a great job of giving guests opportunities to feel like they are at home. Nightly happy hours with exceptional regional wines (not sure I’ve ever had a great wine at a hotel happy hour) and canapés around the fire gave us the opportunity to speak to other guests and get ideas about things to do and things to avoid. The location is just up a very steep but pretty short hill from town, which is extremely convenient while providing separation from the crowds in town center, but the staff was also willing to provide transportation to town. One last note: the photos on the website did not do the rooms justice. Our room and bathroom were extremely roomy, clean, quiet, and comfortable. We also got a tour of a few other rooms, and they were similarly large, although each room has its own uniqueness to it. Overall, we will definitely stay here again if we make it back to Queenstown.

Exceptional. This hotel completely redefines what a five-star experience should be. It makes you rethink all the previous five-star review you've given simply because nothing went wrong. Hulbert house sets the standard, and few others deserve to be in the same category. Staff are always keen to help and would put in a lot of nice touches. Particularly love how they would put a couple bottles of water in the car as they pull the car out for you. Also the made to order breakfast, 5pm canapé/wine from the region (great sav blanc), the night time NZ candies and tea in the room. Hotel is situated on a hill overlooking the lake, 5 min walk from town, perfect location to visit Queenstown and only a short drive from the two ski resorts.

Absolutely fantastic home just above town. Philip, Amber and the entire team at Hulbert House make the stay truly magnificent. Rooms are beautifully appointed and luxurious. Not our first trip. Won’t be our last.

This delightful property oozes style and personality and is an absolute delight in every way. From impeccable service to wonderful food and umpteen thoughtful touches, I can’t recommend this special place enough. The staff are universally exceptional going to extraordinary lengths to secure free access to World Cup viewing from our room to personally defrosting our car every morning. They also left a cheese platter in our room as we were late arriving in case we were hungry, We wish we’d stayed here rather than moving to the overpriced, noisy Eichardts which was double the price and half as good.

Hulbert House truly feels like a home away from home. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Marina, the manager, who personally took care of us—even insisting on carrying our suitcases to our room.|Our room was beautifully appointed, with furnishings that thoughtfully preserve the character of this historic home dating back to the 1800s gold rush era. Marina also introduced us to the inviting breakfast area, where guests can relax and help themselves to drinks at any time.|Amber and Luisa were equally wonderful, always available to assist with anything we needed—from breakfast to evening drinks on the beautiful porch. Sitting there, overlooking Lake Wakatipu, The Remarkables, and Skyline Hill, was simply breathtaking.|The hotel is perched on a hill just a short walk from the center of Queenstown. The return walk is steep, with a climb up a hill and stairs—but we actually came to enjoy it. It felt like a small daily challenge and added to the charm of the stay.|On our first evening, Marina kindly offered to drive us into town for dinner, helping us get our bearings—an especially thoughtful touch.|I can’t imagine a lovelier place to stay in Queenstown.

Hulbert House is a special place. The rooms are stunning, the breakfast and evening canapés are wonderful, but it is the staff that make this a delightful place to stay. Every single member of staff go above and beyond to make sure that you will fondly remember Queenstown and Hulbert House for years to come. Special thanks to Amber, Marina and Marie for your amazing hospitality. We will be back!
