9.2/10 Wonderful! (699 reviews)
Very quiet location close to Queenstown central . Room was serviced to a high standard , restaurant staff lovely . Breakfast is expensive but had on last day and was not disappointed. Only downside encountered was it was park where you like so if you weren’t in car park late afternoon early evening often no parks left in complex . We stayed in a 2 bed room, good size , large shower space but bathroom on the small side. Overall great stay and would recommend.

A Lovely Stay in Queenstown We really enjoyed our three nights at Hotel St Moritz. The hotel has a lovely alpine feel, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. It’s an easy walk to the lakefront, restaurants and shops, while still being away from the busiest parts of town. The paid valet parking was particularly handy as we were travelling by car. A comfortable, welcoming hotel with plenty of character. We’d happily stay again.

Planning your South Island ski holiday

How can I book the best ski holiday to South Island in 2026/2027?

Search through alpine adventures on Expedia to plan your perfect snowy ski holiday in South Island. Just choose your dates and see what’s available. You might prefer a hotel with a heated outdoor pool, or a private chalet for après ski parties; either way, use the property filters to your ideal match. If ski-in-ski-out is important, use the map view to find those idyllic slopeside properties.

How can I find cheap South Island ski holidays?

Boot hire, lift passes, lessons: ski holidays can get pricey, quickly. To make your ski trip more affordable, book South Island accommodation a little further from the lifts and go self-catering to cut back on eating out. Sort your search results by price to find options from £274. Prices and availability are subject to change. Additional terms may apply.

Can I book last-minute ski holidays to South Island?

Use our handy last-minute deals page to look for ski holidays to South Island at a steal. If your dates are fixed, simply input the details and see what specials are available.

What should I consider when booking family ski holidays in South Island?

South Island is well set up for kids. For the teeniest ski-woks, day care in the snow is a blast. As they get older, they love whizzing around on the hill in ski school. Choose a hotel near the lifts and nursery slopes to save a whole lot of ski-carrying hassle in the mornings. With all that extra time and energy, you can take your sweet time to find a family-favourite bolthole on the mountain for hot chocolate with marshmallows ski breaks.

Can I book all-inclusive ski holidays to South Island?

All-inclusive ski holidays are fairly rare, but you can use our filter to see if there are any available in South Island. If not, consider booking your flights and accommodation together to save money that way instead.

When's the best time of year to plan a ski trip to South Island?

Ski season in South Island generally starts around December and slopes off around April. Keep an eye on the snow forecasts though, as you can often find some brilliant deals at the start or end of the season, when it’s also much quieter.

How can I find the best deals on South Island ski holiday packages?

If you can be flexible with your ski holiday dates, avoid school holidays and instead buckle up your boots at the start or end of season. Sort your search results by price and look out for self-catered accommodation to save on notoriously expensive ski-resort drinking and dining.

Can I book a South Island ski trip with free cancellation and/or flexible dates?

If you’re not 100% sure on plans or just want peace of mind, choose a ski holiday with free cancellation. You can use our free cancellation filter to find properties in South Island that offer it.

Why should I book a ski holiday package in South Island with Expedia?

Schuss your way to the slopes with Expedia’s smooth booking process. From flights to hotels and even car hire, you’ll find everything you need to plan the ultimate winter wonderland ski holiday.

"The 'deluxe' room was not very deluxe although it was fine (clean, quiet, etc). The great strength of this place is its chef. A good breakfast and a remarkably good dinner!"
