Queenstown, New Zealand - Holiday Inn with epic lake views: Holiday Inn Queenstown Frankton Road

#100 Ways to Travel On the last afternoon of my self-driving trip to the South Island of New Zealand, I was supposed to fly back to Melbourne, but due to bad weather in Sydney, my flight to Queenstown and then to Melbourne was delayed. In addition, there was a curfew at Queenstown Airport, so I couldn't fly today and had to stay one more night. It was so sudden! Fortunately, my friend successfully booked the Holiday Inn Queenstown Frankton Road, which is located between Queenstown and the airport. We unexpectedly stayed in this beautiful hotel by the lake and enjoyed a wonderful high-end dinner. #QueenstownFranktonRoadHolidayInn's lake view is its biggest selling point. In October, Lake Wakatipo reflects the snow-capped mountains, creating an epic and magnificent scenery that is truly amazing! As for the room rate, if you choose the most basic standard room, which is about 26 square meters, it will cost about $3,800 per night; if you choose the same room type but with a lake view, it will be about $500 more expensive. This Holiday Inn has been open for a long time. Although the rooms and facilities are a bit old, they are still clean and tidy and comfortable to live in. We were lucky to live in the newly expanded building, and the overall experience was pretty good. The hotel's lake view and breakfast are highly recommended. It is very enjoyable to have breakfast while looking at the natural scenery. #NewZealandSelf-Driving #NewZealandTravel #NewZealandSouthIsland #Queenstown #holidayinn #100TravelWays
