Fodor's "On Fernhill, just a few minutes from the town center, the Heritage is quieter than other local hotels and has great views of the Remarkables and Lake Wakatipu." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Award-winning, sophisticated European-style resort hotel... situated above Lake Wakatipu with views of the Remarkables."
Star Service "Perched above Lake Wakatipu, partly surrounded by beech and pine forest, this subdued resort is a favorite with upper-middle-grade groups and individuals who want regional flavor close to the action." Full review
Frommer's "Accomplishes the neat trick of feeling intimate, despite the fact that it's a huge hotel. A lot of that has to do with the friendliness of the staff." Full review

Frommer's "The area the hotel is in is also blissfully quiet...as for the rooms, they're spacious, stylish and spotlessly clean. " Full review
