Top South Island Hotel Reviews

Sudima Queenstown Five Mile

Sudima Queenstown Five Mile

10/10 Excellent
"A nice cozy hotel situated in the Five Miles shopping village, where you can find a supermarket, shops and restaurants nearby. Away from the busyness of Queenstown, it is in close proximity to the airport and a ski field. The surrounding area is safe. The room is quiet and clean. Staffs are helpful. Great for families with children. We have stayed here twice in the past 2 winters, and will return in next ski season for sure."
