Queenstown hotels and hostels
West Coaster Motel
Comfort Inn Gold Rush
Empire Hotel
The rooms here aren't as magnificent as the imposing blackwood staircase that's a National Trust–listed treasure, but they are clean and tended by friendly staff. There are excellent meals in the dining room.
Mt Lyell Anchorage
This 1890s weatherboard home has been completely transformed into a wonderful little guesthouse with quality beds, linen and luxuriously deep carpets. There are also two self-contained apartments ($150 for up to four people, $200 for up to six).
Penghana
This National Trust–listed mansion (1898) is on a hill above town amid a beautiful garden. The house includes a billiards room and a grand dining room for enjoying hearty breakfasts and evening meals by arrangement.
Queenstown Cabin & Tourist Park
This basic park is set on gravel, but it does have a small grassy camping area.
