Pinewood Lodge Queenstown

Pinewood Queenstown is a relaxed, village-style lodge and budget accommodation option set on a scenic, tree-fringed hillside about a 10-minute walk from central Queenstown — making it a quiet base that’s still close to shops, cafés and the adventure-packed heart of town.

The property offers a mix of shared dorms and private rooms, as well as self-contained cabins and apartments with kitchens and lounge areas, giving travellers flexibility from backpacker stays to more independent holiday-style lodging.

Guests appreciate the friendly staff, communal kitchen and lounge spaces, free Wi-Fi and free or limited onsite parking, and there’s gear storage and a tour desk to help book local activities. While many find Pinewood a good value and convenient spot for exploring Queenstown, reviews are mixed on overall cleanliness and upkeep, with some rooms and facilities described as dated — so it’s often seen as a simple, budget-friendly choice rather than a luxury stay.
