The Ultimate Central Queenstown Hideaway

Discover the new pace of Queenstown. Your home away from home: a beautifully restored 1887 Victorian villa offering luxury and relaxation, with included evening canapés and drinks, all day baked treats, breathtaking alpine views and calm, intimate surroundings. Just a short walk to town, yet peacefully tucked away above it all.

Luxury & Location

Stay as if in a private home. Hulbert House is intentionally small, with just eight rooms, allowing our team to host each guest personally. Spend the day exploring Queenstown, skiing the nearby mountains or walking along the lake, then return to the warmth of the house for tea by the fire, a glass of wine at dusk and relaxed conversation as evening settles over the foot hills of the Southern Alps.

Relax and Unwind

What makes Hulbert House special is the feeling of staying in a home rather than a hotel. With only eight rooms, the house remains quiet, personal and attentive. Our team hosts each guest with care, helping shape days in Queenstown and ensuring the house always feels welcoming.

Just a short walk from the centre of Queenstown, Hulbert House offers the rare balance of proximity and calm. Guests can easily reach the town’s restaurants, lakefront and shops, then return to the quiet of the hillside, where the house looks out over the lake and the lights of Queenstown below.

Hulbert House warmly welcomes solo travellers, couples and groups alike, offering privacy, comfort and tranquillity in one of Queenstown’s most distinctive historic homes.

We were treated like royalty by all the staff, enjoyed happy hour on the outside patio with courtesy wine and snacks, and had a beautifully decorated, spacious room. We enjoyed watching the parasailers from the front porch! This was the favorite place we stayed in all of New Zealand! Highly recommended.

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,

“We were awestruck with our stay here at Hulbert House. From the moment we pulled through the front gate, Chris made us feel right at home. Thank you for making our stay in Queenstown for our honeymoon so exceptionally special and unforgettable! The Hubert House has a special place in our hearts. We will be back!
