Just spectacular space at the Residence!
Pros:

The Residence was absolutely fabulous! The view was amazing. There was plenty of room and very quiet. Perfect for a family or couples traveling together. The staff at the hotel were marvelous and helpful. Really good value when traveling with others.

Cons:

The residence is on a steep road so you must be fit to get to and from town.

Nice property but it doesn't handle well enough
Pros:

Location is VERY central. Good size of the room, well designed.

Cons:

Mattresses are disaster! Very low quality - back pain is guaranteed! Having good mattress is basic for a hotel with this price level. Never come back simply for this reason

Amazing Stay
Pros:

Absolutely memorable place to stay- the location and staff are superb & so is the food & the building … Amazing hotel & well worth the effort to get to Queenstown & visit Arrowtown & Milford Sound. Go for it.

If you can afford, stay in one of their apartment suites, it was a once in a lifetime experience
Pros:

we had been traveling for some weeks when we reached eichardts, so having laundry facilities in our apartment suite were an unexpected bonus. The nice kitchen also gave us the ability to cook some food items which we like without going out to a restaurant. The locaction of eichardts at the waterfront promenade was beautiful and got us close to all the local bars and tours. We were served a liesurly but excellent free breakfast in the eichardts bar. Great and helpful hotel staff. Queenstown on the wharf is so beautiful, dont go to the uphill accomodations

Cons:

we had to climb up a set of stairs to access our unit.
