Hulbert House: Award Winning Queenstown Luxury Boutique Lodge
Perched on a hillside above Queenstown with sweeping views of Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables, Hulbert House charms with individually decorated rooms that blend Victorian-era fittings and gold-rush heritage with quietly modern comforts, while staff such as Marina, Luisa, and Amber go conspicuously out of their way, carrying luggage, booking activities, and driving guests into town, before evening canapés and drinks on the porch round off days spent in one of New Zealand's most fondly remembered places to stay.
