Resort Lodge is one of Queenstown's newer backpacker hostels, opened just in time to greet the new Millennium. It is centrally located in downtown Queenstown, yet it is also on a quiet one-way street. You don't need to walk up a hill to get to us. The bus stop is within easy walking distance, and some of the buses will drop you off right at our door. For those traveling in vehicles, we have limited off-street parking, and there is also free on-street parking. A supermarket is just around the corner from us. The outdoor downtown mall, all the shops, restaurants and pubs, and beautiful Queenstown Bay, are only a hop and a skip away.
The lodge itself is a modern 3-story building with plenty of windows that let in light and views of the town. Upstairs it has 2 kitchen-common areas, and these are connected by an outside terrace. The terrace is a sun-trap that is popular all year round. It features a barbecue with tables and chairs.
Beautiful hanging flower baskets add their special ambience. Downstairs is another outdoor garden area. The lodge has bedrooms and bathrooms both upstairs and downstairs. All of the share rooms sleep no more than 4 except for one that sleeps 6. All beds are fully made up. Some of the rooms have their own TV, and all of them have their own phone for making or receiving calls. We have jet-stream Internet access--$2 for 30 min.--and a booking office at reception. |
