About
Kamana Lakehouse
Kamana Lakehouse sits on the slopes above Queenstown, looking out over Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables range. The hotel’s position on Fernhill Road puts it away from the town-centre bustle while keeping the main strip within easy reach — most guests reach the centre in about five minutes by car or catch the local bus.
Rooms are contemporary and well equipped, with king or twin configurations, private balconies, and coffee machines as standard. The restaurant draws consistent praise for both its food and its panoramic views, and the hotel’s facilities cover everything from ski storage and laundry to a jacuzzi and massage services.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Views that justify the name — Guest after guest highlights the outlook over Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables, whether from the rooms, the dining area, or the balconies.
- A restaurant worth planning around — The on-site restaurant earns repeated praise for its food, with several reviewers calling it a highlight of their stay, and the breakfast is frequently described as excellent.

–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Not a lakeside stroll to town — The hotel sits on Fernhill Road, about a 5-minute drive from Queenstown’s centre. Guests without a car will rely on the bus or a taxi, and some found the distance greater than expected.
- Rooms can feel compact — At least one reviewer noted the room was very small, despite praising the view and location. If space is a priority, check the specific room type before booking.
- General comfort scores trail other categories — While facilities and views rank highly, the 'Comfort' and 'General' ratings are lower, suggesting some guests found aspects of the room or ambiance less polished.
