The on site facilities were perfect for the two small children we had with us. The hotel over the road was very convenient and we ate there on Saturday night - very good meals and service.
Location is good when you rent a car. Awesome view from the room.
Price felt a bit high for the accommodation size
Very nice and quiet , clean

Modern facilities, good location on lake outside of hustle of Queenstown and convenient to get to remarkables and into town

Amenities super clean
Stayed in the superior cabin. Excellent location with lake views from the cabin which were clean, comfortable and well stocked. The shared amenities (bathroom, kitchen and dining area) were very clean and well stocked.
Superior cabin didn't have a sink which made cleaning up breakfast or snacks in the cabin a bit awkward. No other issues.
Everything was perfect! Views, location, value for money, amenities! A very comfortable and cozy self serviced cabin with incredible views, all the essentials, and we enjoyed using the private hot tubs on site for half the price! Friendly and helpful staff as well! Would come back again!
Great amenities, has everything you need and is still close to Queenstown but away from the bustle. Two cats on the property who are very friendly are a bonus!
To easy great value
Nice to come back to a pre heated room. Great location and view. Quiet and clean and modern and all amenities that you need
Having to go to communal block to use bathrooms,wash dishes etc was a small inconvenience but easy for us as our cabin was right next door.
Could haven been more comfortable in terms of sitting. The sitting arrangement in the room wasn’t enough for family of 4
Everything was great. The beds & bedding very comfortable for the cost. Little cabins had everything we needed for a family holiday. Im really picky about cleqnliness & i couldnt falt it. Staff friendly & helpful.

The room was warm and cosy when we arrived, the location was great, and the facilities were clean and convenient.

No at all

The toilet it’s not in the room, but a shared toilet
The staff responded quickly, and everything was very clean — the room, toilet, and all the facilities! The scenery was amazing too. We will definitely come back again! Highly recommended!
Clean, tidy & warm self contained cabin with beautiful lake views. Great value for money. We would stay again! 10-15 mins out of town but we knew that and had a car so wasn’t an issue for us. Frankton is super close however with lots of choices to eat.
The only let down was how uncomfortable the bed was.
Amazing place to stay
Nothing
Great view, great service, close to airport.
Side of our bed was against a wall
Great location playground and game room for children good and clean kitchen, finally should have had small sink in the room so we could have was hands
No sink in bedroom
It was new and clean
Great facilities. High standard and options
Beautiful location by the lake. Tidy and clean apartment. Excellent amenities
What a wonderful morning for the kids thank you for making her first Easter enjoyable as we normally dont celebrate.
Toilets on bottom floor of stairs 🤣 would be awesome. Made dash at stupid o'clock with a full blatter tourcher
L'emplacement au bord du lac, le confort des cabines, la propreté irréprochable des sanitaires partagés, la gentillesse du personnel qui a été très attentionné pour le weekend de Pâques avec les enfants
Cleanliness and shared facilities
Size of bathroom and number of shower towels for guest. Only supplied 4 shower towels for 3 adult guests of 2 nights. Narrow carpark space next accommodation building. They need to cut the grass next to the parking lot.
Really lovely location and great little cabin. Views were amazing. Check in and parking was easy. Rating a 9 as we booked knowing we had to use a communal bathroom and kitchen. Communal areas were clean and well maintained.
Although booked knowing that we would have to use the communal areas, the cabins could do with a sink or liquids bin to discard of some liquids (from making tea in the cabin etc)
地點很棒,正對面就是湖;感謝服務人員協助預約計程車。

Exactly as the photos! Beautiful location by the lake. Views of The Remarkables from the property. Safe and secure parking. Stayed in Cabin 1 and it was perfect for two. Super clean, spacious and comfortable, absolutely luxurious for a caravan park cabin (better than many hotels I’ve stayed in!). All the perks of a hotel room (comfy queen bed, large flatscreen tv, free wifi, private ensuite w heated towel rail, lovely toiletries, all linen provided) with the bonus of caravan park facilities (laundry, playground, bbq, free parking, relaxed family-friendly atmosphere, super-friendly pet cat). And there is direct access to Frankton Beach.
Some may not appreciate the noise from passing planes (it’s under the flight path). But for plane watchers like me, it was a treat to see the planes flying overhead and gaining altitude.
乾淨整潔
Lovely staff - very helpful and accomodating. The location is wonderful. Easy walk to the marina where I caught the water taxi into town. The public transport in Queenstown is fairly simple to navigate; including the water taxis. Nearby the airport which was very convenient but also the air traffic didn't bother me at all. The room was simple, clean, spacious and comfortable.
Queenstown in general can be a little expensive. I found Driftaway to be a little costly compared to what I am used to, but when compared with other places locally it is great value.
Beautiful view from cabin. Very clean and modern. Close to some restaurants.
Having a lounge under the TV and the bed pushed up against the wall.
Great location, comfortable room, hot tub spa available, great views, parking provided.
Lots of webs everywhere, stains on furniture
i like that the location was central to everything..just few minutes drive to queenstown central..
none..everything is great..we love our stay!
This was an absolutely fabulous stay. Beautiful location, clean, and we loved the baby car in the shower to make bathing our little boy easier!
Toilets were a little bit far away.
Because our flight was very early next morning, the hotel was just in the airport, very convenient for transferring. There were many breakfast selections in airport, not a problem at all.
The only small problem maybe the water flows out from the shower room.
Great location, great facilities very clean
Spent our first night in the 3 person cabin. It is close to the airport, check in easy. Site was clean, the cabin is big and has a balcony with amazing view of the lake. The mattress has a heating pad! Shower is clean and powerful
Nothing
The location itself was very nice, the view from our room was fantastic. Facilities are clean and complete. We got anything we need for entertainment. Absolutely recommend this place. Will definitely stay there again.
Just our cabin doesn't have own bathroom and toilet but the communal was really clean
The location, the facilities, everything was great
Very convenient for the airport and campervan drop. Easy access to hotels and restaurants using buses. Great apartment . Very clean and with excellent view of lake.
Liked it all
We had the best time at Driftaway. It was truly a home away from home! The amenities were amazing - our kids loved the arcade, bouncy pillow and playground. The location was fantastic - it was close enough to Queenstown to enjoy but far enough away that it wasn't super crowded. We loved walking to the Marina for breakfast at the Boat Shed and dinner at Altitude Brewing!
Beautiful lake and sunset view!! Comfy beds and gorgeous with balcony own room. Perfect and great feeling for stay!! Very friendly and smiling staffs!! Kia Ora!!!
Without bathroom and water sink in my room, I didn’t realise that situation when I book the room. I have to go to hub facilities building when I want to wash my hand.
Great location. Very clean. Great staff.

I absolutely loved this accommodation. It provided everything necessary in a beautiful, and communal way. The facilities were always impeccably clean. The layout of design in the communal kitchen and bathrooms feels well thought out and easy to use during busy meal times. This is definitely my place to stay when in Queenstown. The teens loved it, as its distance to bike trails was more than perfect.
no negative comments
The place was exceptionally clean and staff were friendly and accommodating.
The rooms are smaller than they look in photo. The beds had a hard heating socket in the side that is uncomfortable when you sleep. There are no air-conditioning so it gets got and you can not leave the windows open after sunset as the insect comes in (no netting). No access to the beach from the rooms backyard as it shows in the photos.
The views of the lake were amazing and overall vibe. One of the best holiday parks we ever stayed (we got private suites, but the amenities were shared).
Nothing.
good location,close to lake,clean bathroom and sufficient facility
nothing
Loved the whole cabin! 3 Heaters including one in the bathroom that was perfect for the cold mornings! Double locked doors amazing views perfect location it is in the middle of Queenstown & Arrowtown cute little beach front
No complaints
Awesome location, the cabin was perfect. Great view, comfy bed, clean, well stocked kitchen.
No coffee plunger, a nespreso is not very useful while travelling, the shower faucet needed fixing, kept flopping down.
I loved the location close to the lake. It was a great layout and the beds were really comfortable. The deck was fabulous for a cuppa.
Expensive, but then it is in queenstown, so that considered the price was not so bad. The airplanes might bother some people, but I didn't mind them as they were not when I was sleeping.
Views from the cabins and amenities. Loves walking along lake to cafes.
깜끔하고 캠핑하기 좋은 시설을 모두 갖추어서 너무 좋았어요
We really like the location as its very close to Queenstown Marina and the beach. The kitchen and toilet/bathroom are spot on. We arrived early from Te Anau, and ask if we could check-in early and the lady said yes. We booked the hot bath, because as a guest, you can avail 50% off. And it really make our stay even relaxing. The view, walking distance to the beach, clean facilities. Thank you!!! I will recommend this place to my friends.
Sitting orientation. We anticipate that the placed was compact because of its size. But this is only minor issue., we loved our stay here.
דירה חדשה ונקיה, במיקום מעולה, נוף יפה ומטבח מאובזר בכל מה שצריך. אהבנו מאוד את חדר המשחקים, את שולחן הפינג פונג והטרמפולינה. מקום מעולה לשהות בו עם ילדים.
החדר מעט צפוף עבור 4 אנשים ושולחן האוכל מותאם רק עבור 2. שהיינו 3 לילות אך לא היה בכלל שירות חדרים ונאלצנו לבקש מהקבלה נייר טואלט שאזל ומוצרים נוספים. המחיר לא זול...
Amazing view and great facilites.
Running water in the rooms would be great. Found some trash under a bed. Beds are low, so I understand it can not be vacuumed under easily, but still, it would be nice to check that there are no surprises left.
