Chose this accommodation for location with dining options.
The room was spacious and comfortable along with all we needed for our overnight stay within walking distance of the restaurant.
Although there wasn’t a television in the room, the wifi and great water pressure along with heating made our stay great.
If you prefer to stay outside the cbd with a short drive to town this is the place for you.
Stairs the only issue for mobility challenged but there are downstairs rooms.

Sherwood Queenstown is a unique accommodation option. What was once a 1980s-style hotel has now received a modernised 'eco-friendly' treatment. Keep this in mind if you feel amenities need updating to reflect modern times (and read the guest booklet, which fully explains Sherwood's ethos). We appreciate Sherwood's approach to recycling, composting and using materials that are either locally sourced or designed to minimise its footprint on the globe.
The staff are helpful.
Sherwood is perhaps most suitable for couples and families with children over the age of 10.
It is especially convenient and suitable for families who already have a level of 'disconnectedness' with the digital world. There are no televisions in the rooms, so if you're the sort of family who enjoys cuddling up on the couch after a long day of exploring, you'll need to be prepared to also huddle around a tablet or smartphone if you're staying at Sherwood.
There is limited parking on-site, certainly not enough for the guests staying. It's offered on a 'first come, first serve' basis. This can be tricky, as there is also a restaurant open to the public at Sherwood.
We enjoyed the stunning views of the lake and the convenience of Sherwood's location.

Check in was 3pm - after a long day travelling with two young kids we arrived and told our room wasn’t ready & wouldn’t be ready for another hour - because they were short staffed.
I feel that if hotels etc can’t staff to full capacity etc then don’t sell all rooms.
Didn’t realise there was no TV’s in the room - but this was not a problem as they supply devices if needed (we weren’t really hanging around the room to watch tv in all honesty).
All in all this was the perfect place for a family to stay. Had a good kitchenette & a few minute drive from town.

Dear Jen,Thank you for your rating and feedback, and sincere apologies we did not have the room ready for your arrival. Thankfully this is an unusual occurrence but totally understand the frustration caused. I'm so glad you found Sherwood perfect for families, we too think its a cool spot to disconnect and enjoy the simple things in life. Best wishes
