Sherwood Queenstown

Sherwood is a hotel with a difference: it describes itself as a community hotel that combines comfort with sustainability and local hospitality, and with its yoga classes, live music and busy restaurant it doubles as a gathering place for the local community. It sits at 554-558 Frankton Road, and its restaurant holds one MICHELIN Star in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide New Zealand.

Rooms range widely, which makes Sherwood a useful mid-range option. At the simpler end are Lodge Queen and Lodge Queen Triple rooms and Standard Twin and King rooms, some with mountain views, plus a Waterfall King Room. Above them come Sherwood Suites, some with mountain views, a Family Suite, Premium King Lakeview rooms and Premium Two Bedroom Apartments with lake views. Rooms come with fresh milk from reception and an in-room refillery stocked with local beers and natural wines on tap from the bar.

The facilities set it apart from most hotels in its price range. There is a yoga studio with daily classes for all levels, massage rooms and a sauna, and a kitchen garden that guests are welcome to stroll through to see the produce used in the restaurant. The restaurant and bar serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, with wood-fired flatbreads, produce from the on-site organic vegetable garden and honey from the hotel's own beehives, and natural wines on tap, and the hotel hosts live music, open mic nights and other events in its Workshop space.

Practicalities are well covered. Wi-Fi is free throughout on a dedicated fibre connection that the hotel calls the fastest in Queenstown, and there is a production office, boardroom and other function spaces for those working while they travel. Parking on site is free and unallocated, there is an electric vehicle charging station, and a ski shuttle stops nearby for trips to the slopes.

Check-in is from 3pm and check-out by 10am, and early check-in or late check-out can be requested by email. Sherwood suits couples, friends travelling together, remote workers and anyone who values food, wellbeing and a sociable atmosphere over formal luxury.
