Awesome view and location

Lovely premises and location, but grossly overpriced and not worth the money
Pros:

Lovely premises, close to nearby wineries and attractions. Staff were very helpful. Room was clean, tidy and comfortable. Breakfast was fresh, prepared quickly and very nice

Cons:

The property is grossly overpriced for what you get. The price to stay one night, for nothing more than a bed and breakfast was unjust. There was a wedding on, which is the main purpose of the venue, but with no advance warning of it, and it being clearly audible throughout the entire building til the wee hours (which weddings are entitled to do), there should have been an adjustment of price, warning of such, or reimbursement after. There have been no acoustic modifications made to counter the very noticeable road noise, even with the doors closed, or the other events on at the venue. Had the price been $400 this review is not being written. But at double that, one has the right to expect a lot more.

Beautiful, charming, amazing stay!
Pros:

The property has absolutely beautiful grounds, gorgeous accommodation and lovely staff. They also have spectacular views of the lake and surrounding mountains. We opted to have the candle lit dinner on our stay which was yum and they breakfast included was excellent. They also have a hot tub you can book and a complimentary cheese board in check in which was a fun surprise! The staff were excellent and very helpful.

Excellent rooms and buildings but no staff makes it feel you’re staying in someone empty house.
Pros:

Quality buildings and finish

Cons:

Isolated feel when in retreat suite, essentially you stay in a room (1 of 6) in a very large, empty house, about 100 m from the main lodge. A feeling of disconnection as there are almost no staff, we saw one on the evening and 2 at breakfast, no true reception so lack of service feel, staff people, etc

A stay straight from a dream
Pros:

Stoneridge Estate exceeded every single expectation. The property is beautiful, overlooking a vineyard, the lake, and the mountains that paint the skyline. The Arrow room is the most beautiful hotel room I have ever had the pleasure of staying in - it was a room straight out of my dreams! The staff, especially Daniel, were extremely kind and went out of their way to insure we had the best stay possible. I will think about this stay often and hope to return in the future.

Cons:

Nothing - it was perfect.

Beautiful retreat in the outskirts of Queenstown
Pros:

The estate itself and the staff are perfect, special thanks to Daniel who is really a master of all trades!

Cons:

No restaurant in the estate, and sometimes it would have been nice to see more staff on site.
