Sherwood Queenstown

Eco-friendly hillside hotel overlooking Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown

Dining

Sherwood Queenstown operates a two-hat rated restaurant that sources ingredients from its own on-site bio-dynamic vegetable garden. The restaurant offers an extensive range of natural local wines, craft beers, and rare spirits. Guests can dine on fresh organic produce picked daily from the garden, with meals built around sustainability and local ingredients.

Wellness

The hotel provides a sauna available for guests to book at no extra charge. A dedicated yoga studio hosts regularly scheduled yoga and meditation classes. Various spa treatments are offered, including massage therapy, and the property also features a games room and a table tennis table.

Rooms

Each guest room at Sherwood Queenstown showcases commissioned local artworks and uses recycled materials such as pure wool blankets and industrial light fittings. NZ organic tea and coffee, fresh milk (dairy and oat) on demand, and a minibar with homemade sodas, natural local wine, and craft beer are standard. The rooms are fitted with cork walls for insulation and have no television, with a radio instead.

Location

Set on a hillside, Sherwood Queenstown offers views of Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables mountain range. The hotel is a 5-minute drive or 15-minute bike ride from Queenstown city centre, and 8 minutes from Queenstown Airport. Both Coronet Peak and The Remarkables ski areas are a 30-minute drive away, and bicycle rental is available for exploring the area.

Entertainment & Social Spaces

Instead of a traditional pool, the hotel has a social area with a firepit and beanbags. Live musical performances from touring bands, DJs, and artists are hosted regularly, along with stand-up comedy shows. A games room with board games and a table tennis table, plus an outdoor fireplace and picnic area, are available for guests.
