Butterfli Lodge - BBH

Wonderful and comfortable stay. Towels, linens and blankets all provided, clean and spacious bathrooms that are fully equipped. We love the modern and clean kitchen, seems like it was recently renovated to be well equipped. There are 4 parking spaces for cars, first come first serve. What totally blew us away was the wonderful view at the dining area, you can see the beautiful lake and it is spectacular during sunset.

What a fantastic place to stay!! I stayed here for a week with my sister. Neither of us had been to Queenstown before but having heard such lovely things decided to go for a week for my sister's birthday. The hostel is located a short walk from the centre which worked out perfectly. We had somewhere quiet and cosy to go back to after the days activities. Everything was very clean and orderly. You absolutely cannot beat the location; the terrace in the evening when the sun is setting is just amazing. Maike was wonderful, a special thankyou for making our stay so nice. We had great chats about traveling :) ||I really recommend staying here if you want that hostel with a special touch. Everyone is so friendly!!

We stayed here for 4 nights. This is a wonderful home away from home place. Everyone is very friendly and the staff feel almost like friends in no time and made us feel incredibly welcome. It was clean and tidy with good facilities and located in a quiet location away from the party areas, but close enough to walk in to Queenstown centre. We loved it so much that we would come to Queenstown just so we can stay here. :)

Had a fabulous stay here at Butterfli Lodge. Everyone is so friendly here. The views are amazing and it’s a lovely little walk into town. The whole lodge was always clean and the kitchen is the perfect size and layout for the small lodge design. All staff were so helpful and really nice. Our room was perfect for week away to Queenstown. Can’t recommend this place enough!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. A big thanks to Julia. Every thing is as advertised but they simply do not write enough about the view. It is better then the many lake side fancy hotels as the view is completely unhindered. We had double room with lake view. The lodge is located bit uphill from the centre- about 10 minutes walk with awesome views

Initially, my boyfriend and I planned on staying at the Butterfli Lodge while we were visiting Queenstown. We called and booked a private double bed room. We told the woman on the phone that we were possibly going to stay two nights but only committee to the first night. THANK GOD. The Bufferfli Lodge is backpacker style, so the private room was $69 if I remember correctly (cash only) so not too bad. It’s situated on the lake so of course the view is beautiful. However, the room was very basic. On the ground floor of the house. The kitchen and the dinning are directly above the room and the walls and floor are paper thin…. So there was A LOT of noise. We couldn’t fall asleep until everyone went to bed and we were woken up with what sounded like stomping around 6am! So we didn’t get much sleep. The next morning we asked CINDY (I think she might be the owner) if we could change rooms due to the noise. She said that there was nothing else, so we said no worries, but we were probably going to go elsewhere because we needed a full night of sleep. She became very offended by that and said we needed to hand in the keys to the room asap since check out was 10am and it was now 10:15am. We said of course and quickly moved our things. However she gave us the silent treatment as we got ready for the day; kind of weird but whatever. We had planned on making a quick breakfast before we started our day but when we tried to use the kitchen she said that we needed to leave the hostel since we weren’t staying a second night.. I couldn’t not believe my ears! We had planned on waking up quite early to start our day but with the lack of sleep we were too tired to get up which is why we ended up sleeping in so late. So I explained that and I asked if we could make a very quick breakfast. Cindy said that she had already started to clean up the kitchen… I guess she thought that we couldn’t clean up after ourselves? She then has the audacity to say that she was already being very generous with us because she could have charged us for a second night since we were 15 minutes late leaving our room. I have never experienced such poor customer service from a hostel or hotel. So incredible rude. I would most definitely NOT recommend staying there. Clearly, this woman, Cindy, should not be in the hospitality industry. She is a very bad host.

Loved our stay, thank you! <3 Hosts were warm, friendly, inviting. Shower pressure was awesome. And was a sweet, homely stay and feel, for myself, partner and our 7 year old boy. Lovely views and open layout in communal area of kitchen and lounge area. Can't wait to return. Thank you

I'd been here twice and I really love staying here during my holiday. The staff are very friendly and really helpful. We'd come too early but we still can use the facilities and enjoying the view without no hassle.||Great view of Lake Wakatipu and walking distance to Skyline Gondola around 10 minutes.
