Kamana Lakehouse Overview
First up Kamana Lakehouse is not actually on the lakefront, however it does have excellent views of the lake from both the restaurant and bar, and the 3 amazing hot tubs. It’s a scenic 30 minute walk to Ferg Burger (the centre of Queenstown) from here or a 5 minute drive. It’s a great romantic spot for couples, but it’s also not bad for a family.
Rooms here range from the nice (but no view) Kamana Twin or King, Remarkables View or lake View Rooms, up to The Residence which is a service luxury home with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms plus kitchen and Laundry and Lounge. If you want a view make sure you book the right room. Otherwise you can just enjoy the magnificent views from the restaurant and bar.
Kamana Lakehouse straddles between 4 and 5 star. The Residence and The Lakeview Luxe are easily 5 star as are the restaurant and bar. The Kamana King rooms are really the quality of a nice top end 4 star. So make sure you keep your expectations and budget inline when booking.
Restaurants
Nest Restaurant and Lounge Bar is open for breakfast from 7am to 10am (10:30 on weekends) and dinner daily from 5pm to 9pm. The Lounge bar is open from 4pm to 9:30pm and serves light food to go with your cocktails or amazing wine selection.
Spa
Kamana Soak offers relaxing hot tubs with great views for you to relax in privacy. These are exclusively for guest use.
Negatives
It’s a bit of a hike to town, or more importantly a hike back to your hotel after a night out. Rooms here are a little smaller than you’d like in a hotel of this price. Most are 27 metres square but the lake view rooms are actually even smaller.
