I had an amazing experience at this resort! The staff went above and beyond to ensure my family had a wonderful stay. The location is perfect, offering beautiful views while being conveniently close to the town center. Our rooms were clean and spacious, providing a great retreat after our activities. However, waiting for the shuttle can be a hassle sometimes, especially in the rain.

My stay was overall very enjoyable. The hotel offered a gorgeous view of the lake, and the spacious room made for a comfortable retreat. However, the dining options for breakfast left something to be desired, and while the lounge area was cozy, it didn't offer the luxury ambiance I hoped for. The shuttle service was a nice touch, but being a bit far from the town center was somewhat inconvenient.

We had a wonderful stay at the Rees Hotel, with breathtaking views of the lake and mountains that really added to our experience. The room was spacious and luxurious, equipped with modern amenities, and had a fantastic deck for enjoying the scenery. However, our check-in process took a bit longer than expected due to staff being busy, and breakfast service could improve during peak times. Overall, it was a great value for the exceptional quality we experienced.

I had a wonderful time during my stay! The hotel offers stunning views of Lake Wakatipu and the mountains, which I absolutely loved. The room was spacious and comfortable, making it great for my family. The shuttle service to town was a big plus since parking can be tricky. However, I felt a bit disappointed with the dining options, as they could have been better at times. Overall, it was a luxurious experience worth the splurge.

Staying at Rees Hotel was a pleasant experience with beautiful lake views and a warm, welcoming vibe from the staff. The rooms are modern and have a fantastic view, but I found the space a bit tight with our luggage around. While the restaurant's breakfast options are decent, the confusion around what's included and additional charges was a downside. The location is stunning, although a bit far from the town center, making transportation essential.
