Lack of Accommodation for ongoing Construction

I booked this trip for my husband and I along with 4 of our friends. What I didn’t know until the day after we arrived that nearby there was a major construction project underway. There was no mention of it on the Hotels.com website otherwise I would have never booked the rooms there. The hotel did point out that it was posted on their website but shame on me for not checking. Really? Given the expense we were incurring and flying a long distance to arrive there the hotel could have sent us a message beforehand as I was later told the construction had been ongoing since March of 2024. The hotel did let us depart a day early without penalty but really didn’t offer any other form of compensation which was extremely disappointing. When I did speak to the manager, Christine, she did offer to comp dinner for us that night but we were already seated at a local restaurant for dinner while I was speaking to her of the phone. I really felt the manager could have compensated us in some way and even mentioned waving the breakfast charges but she wouldn’t. The hotel was very noisy all day long with constant thumping of the equipment and the dining room windows in view of the construction cranes so they could have done much more to accommodate us for the price we paid. Would never return.

The Kamana is lovely and luxurious. Our room was large and beautifully decorated. We loved the fluffy robes and comfy bed. The lounge is gorgeous and the restaurant has outstanding view of the lake and mountains. We arrived after a backpacking trip and sat in the lounge area (also with great views) for a delicious dinner from a varied menu (great wines too). A huge plus is the complimentary private soaking tub session for guests (be sure to book well in advance). Parking is free. Also, the staff are extremely attentive and helpful. We stored a few bags with them for several days while backpacking and they had moved them into our room before we arrived. There are a few downsides: The location isn't walkable to downtown Queenstown so bring your car. Also, there's a lot of construction going on at their adjacent sister property. It blocked some views (though not the restaurant/lounge), was quite loud during work hours and the equipment, at times, blocked parking access and made driving in/out a challenge. Once that's complete, this will be a five star experience.

We were very friendly with the reception staff and yet they gave us a room with a bad plumbing smell that they had tried to disguise (my wife worked in the hotel business) We asked to be moved and this was done in 10 minutes. De Gustation dinner was amazing as is the view from the restaurant. Our overall impression is that the staff were not empowered by the manager to respond to customer requests without referring to management. At breakfast the waiter said he was “going to check if we were entitled to breakfast” This is not what you expect in a hotel where you are spending over $500 USD.

Our view from our Lakeview Room was totally spoilt by the massive construction site right below our balcony. Very noisy and total lack of privacy given that workers were barely 50 ft away from 8am to 6pm! When we queried the front desk about the situation, they were sympathetic, but the solution was we could move to a non-lake view room and be reimbursed the difference in price! When this occurred at a previous hotel, they had the courtesy to send an email that warned us, as upcoming guests, of the situation. The Kamana Lakehouse would be well advised to do the same!! It really was terribly disappointing.

Friendly welcome from reception staff. Very helpful. Room was good size and had everything that you required. Exceptional view. Restaurant was fully booked so recommend that you book in advance. However we were accommodated in the bar lounge. Good choice of wine and bar snacks that sufficed as an evening meal. Comfortable bed. Rainfall shower with lovely toiletries. Again book the hot soak tubs in advance. Restaurant for breakfast was delicious and again great service.
