To the wonderful Hulbert House family, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. We could not have asked for a better, more memorable experience. It was honestly perfect in very way. So welcoming, so kind, so hospitable, so luxurious and comfortable. We do not want to leave, we wanted to move in! You will never be forgotten. We will always remember our stay and we will be back!

We came for the Queenstown Marathon, every need or wish we had was met, even those we didn’t know we had! All staff were so accommodating, helpful and friendly – no request was too much. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

What a grand return to Hulbert House! Hospitality from everyone, and Marie’s celebration cake for Kathryn’s 75th birthday!! The Suites were super sweet and the Firth Suite, Grand Room, was out-of-the-universe!! Time until our next journey from the mid Pacific to the South Pacific cannot come too soon!! With great Aloha,
