The hotel is built up the side of a mountain which overlooks Queenstown, as a consequence, its suites have panoramic views towards mountains and lakes. The staff are exceptional, polite, helpful with nothing is too small for them to deal with. The suites are very well appointed with kitchenettes inc dishwasher & hob, a king sized bed, numerous pillows, en suite and a lounge room with sofa, dining table and large tvs. As mentioned, the hotel is built on the side of a mountain and your suite has a large deck with outside gas fireplace, sofa, dining table and a spa. This itself is incredible as you can relax and absorb the view across the lake and Queenstown itself. It’s a fantastic hotel and one we would love to revisit in the future.

From the moment we entered the driveway, to our check out 2-days later, the attention we received was exceptional. Next level!! The concierge stood out making us feel welcomed from the get-go and no ask of ours ever feeling to big, during our stay. We highly, highly recommend a stay here.

Happy campers

The hotel & all staff were outstanding in every way from the moment we arrived to valet parking, a welcoming drink and an upgrade to a fantastic suite. The view from our balcony hot tub across Queenstown & the Lake (day & night) was amazing. The Carlin compared very favourably to other 6 star hotels we have stayed in.

Incredible experience at this property! Everything was flawless! The service was absolutely exceptional. The food was amazing and thoughtfully prepared, every detail of this stay was remarkable. One of the best hotels in my life, incredible views and every detail was considered to make it a memorable experience. The owner and all the staff were so accommodating and kind and welcoming, I can’t say enough amazing things about this property.

After staying in multiple properties across the South Island of New Zealand, including multiple hotel stays in Queenstown, this place is most definitely not a 5-star worthy hotel, 3 stars at best. The staff was extremely accommodating, polite, and we were always met with a smile on the face. With that being said, the place is an essentially a refurbished ‘boutique’ apartment (literally, though). The jacuzzi tub (at least in the Master Suite I was in) was lukewarm on arrival, smelled very stagnant, and there were particles floating around (mind you, I messaged the staff my planned ETA and would assume at $800+ USD/nt, at least the jacuzzi would be working…nonetheless). Notified staff, and let them know the fountain function did not work and the jet feature was working at maybe 20% and ONE SIDED only…was told this is “normal” of “all the jacuzzis”…so, don’t let the pictures fool you! It was a good stay, but not worth the money. I’d recommend the QT Hotel (similar price range, or cheaper), or the Rosewood (where true 5-star luxury is DEFINED).

The Carlin is well located in easy walking distance to the Queenstown Mall and Lake Wakatipu. The complimentary airport pick-up made my arrival seamless. The rooms are modern with every detail considered. I received a surprise upgrade upon checking in. The cocktail hour and breakfast included in the rate were delicious and added value. I loved relaxing on the terrace with the hot tub and outdoor fireplace and the box of treats left at evening turndown service. I wouldn't hesitate to return to the Carlin the next time I'm in Queenstown.

Was looking forward to staying here, however didn’t have the greatest stay. The balcony with spa and fireplace was excellent, however around ten pm another family opened our door with their key, which was quite startling. The bathroom had average water pressure and looked a bit tired. We were woken up in the middle of the night with the sound of wind coming through the fire door in the bedroom.

This is a stunning boutique experience. Pricey but the suite was sensational. Our only bugbear was the high tech light switches which took some getting used to and the light motion sensors which were erratic. Otherwise quiet, luxurious, spacious, stunning views and super friendly/professional staff.
