Among the three Rosewood hotels in New Zealand, Rosewood Matakauri is the most conveniently located in the popular Queenstown, about 7 kilometers from the center of Queenstown to Glenorchy. Matakauri is known as a mountain lakeside resort. Facing the lake, it is quiet and elegant. It is surrounded by the three famous peaks of Queenstown and has excellent privacy. The hotel has excellent hardware and software, all customer service is warm and friendly, and the rooms have been upgraded to lake view suites. Dinner is served in a la carte format, and the cooking is excellent. If the breakfast can be as good as the dinner, it will be even more perfect. The wonderful experience here makes me look forward to the next two Rosewood hotels. Special thanks to Ctrip butler Zi Peng for his professional assistance when there was a little problem with the booking of the like order.

In addition to the overall satisfactory environment and food of the hotel, the hotel has two Chinese-speaking staff whose service is very warm and friendly!

This hotel probably has the best view in Queenstown. It is very beautiful and quiet. The non-dairy desserts in the restaurant are also delicious. This is the best hotel I stayed in during this trip to New Zealand.

We stayed in Queenstown for three days during our honeymoon. I felt rested. The view was beautiful when I opened the curtains. I experienced unprecedented service. When I was having dinner, I mentioned to the butler that I had fallen and needed to go to the hospital. The manager called me in the afternoon to ask if I needed any help. The dinner menu didn't change much during the three days. It would be better if they could change it every day and give me a tasting menu. On the second night, I was surprised to find that the waiter in the restaurant was a mixed race of Chinese and Western.
