The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

During my stay, I was impressed by the really good dining experience at the hotel’s restaurant, True South. The dinner menu featured dishes made with local ingredients, and I particularly enjoyed the continental breakfast that stood out for its variety and freshness, including the good Eggs Benedict with salmon and spinach. The overall quality of food made each meal nice!

Amazing Lake Views

I stayed in a spacious two-bedroom lake view apartment that had stunning views of Lake Wakatipu. Each morning, I woke up to the very nice sight of the Remarkables mountain range. The apartment was well-equipped with a cozy fireplace, which added warmth during the cold evenings. It provided the perfect home base for my family and I throughout our visit.

Excellent Business Amenities

I recently hosted a series of workshops in the hotel’s well-appointed boardroom and was thoroughly impressed by the level of service provided. The staff ensured that all our requirements were met, and the modern setup made our events run smoothly. If you need a venue for any event, I highly recommend The Rees as it truly excels in this aspect.

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.

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.

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.

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.
