Hampshire Holiday Parks – Queenstown Lakeview, formerly known as Queenstown Lakeview Holiday Park, is a holiday park in a genuinely central Queenstown spot, just a few minutes' walk from the town centre, the lakefront and many of the area's iconic attractions, including the Skyline Gondola and Luge. It sits on Cemetery Road with Lake Wakatipu around 100m away, the Ben Lomond Walking Track 180m from the door and the Queenstown Mall about 300m.
The park offers a wide range of accommodation for different styles of travel: self-contained units, one-bedroom studios and open plan studios, plus an extensive camping area with sites for campervans, caravans and tents, all supported by modern, well-serviced facilities. Linen is provided in rooms, and guests staying in rooms enjoy free unlimited Wi-Fi (camping area guests get 1GB per device per day).
Shared facilities are built for practical holidays: a fully equipped guest kitchen with ovens, hobs, microwaves, toasters, a hot water zip and fridge freezers, laundry with tap-and-go washers and dryers, BBQ facilities, a tour desk, luggage storage, bike/ski storage and on-site parking. The park operates cashlessly, accepting EFTPOS, Visa, Mastercard and contactless payment, with reception open 8am–7pm daily.
Past guests highlight the million-dollar views, immaculately clean rooms, good heating and parking right outside their door, and families note that the park is tidy and well laid out, with kids able to cruise around safely. For a Queenstown base within walking distance of hikes, the gondola, the lake and the town's restaurants and attractions, it's a grounded, friendly choice.
Some destinations you visit; Queenstown you throw yourself into. It is a town built on the shores of Lake Wakatipu and set against the dramatic alps of New Zealand's South Island, known the world over as the adventure capital. Hampshire Holiday Parks – Queenstown Lakeview, formerly Queenstown Lakeview Holiday Park, puts you right in the middle of it, with the town centre, lakefront and headline attractions only a few minutes' walk from your room or campsite.
The park's location is its quiet superpower. Lake Wakatipu lies about 100m away, the Ben Lomond Walking Track starts roughly 180m from the gate, the Kiwi Birdlife Park is around 200m, and the Queenstown Mall and town centre are within 500m. The Skyline Gondola and Luge — where you can ride up 450 metres to Bob's Peak for panoramic views over The Remarkables and the lake — are among the nearby icons. Arrowtown, the charming historic gold town, is a 20-minute drive.
That means early starts for hikes on Queenstown Hill or Ben Lomond, easy evenings wandering the lakefront, and no need to drive home after dinner in town.
Accommodation spans the full range of holiday styles. Self-contained units suit travellers who want to cater for themselves, while one-bedroom studios and open plan studios offer simpler, comfortable rooms — all with linen provided and free unlimited Wi-Fi. The extensive camping area welcomes campervans, caravans and tents, supported by modern, well-serviced facilities.
Guests consistently mention how well cared for the park feels. Recent reviews describe immaculately clean rooms, great heating, parking right outside the door, and grounds so tidy and well set out that kids could cruise around safely. Motorhome guests and families alike single out the warm welcome at reception.
The shared guest kitchen is fully equipped with ovens, hobs, microwaves, toasters, a hot water zip and fridge freezers, plus indoor seating and TVs — note that cookware and crockery are not provided, but kitchen sets can be hired at reception. A laundry room offers tap-and-go washing machines and dryers, with powder available at reception.
There are BBQ facilities for easy outdoor dinners, a tour desk for booking adventures, luggage storage, dedicated bike and ski storage, and on-site parking. The park is cashless — EFTPOS, Visa, Mastercard and contactless payments are accepted — and reception is open 8am to 7pm, with check-in from 3pm and check-out before 10am. Arriving late? Let the team know in advance and they will talk you through the after-hours procedure.
The park works as a launchpad for the region's greatest hits. Hikers can pick from lakefront strolls to full alpine climbs. Skiers have The Remarkables, a family-friendly resort, and Coronet Peak for intermediates. Thrill-seekers can choose between the original Kawarau Bridge Bungy, The Ledge Bungy or the Nevis Bungy Swing, or race the Shotover River by jet boat. When the muscles need recovering, the Onsen Hot Pools and Day Spa is a 10-minute drive away, and the Central Otago wineries — among New Zealand's premier wine regions — are within easy reach. Closer to home, the tranquil Queenstown Gardens offer a leafy place to stroll.
In winter, the park runs a Winter Stay & Save offer with up to 25% off stays of two nights or more — a good excuse to settle in and make the most of the ski fields and snow-dusted scenery.
Whether you arrive in a motorhome, pitch a tent, or book a studio with a view, Hampshire Holiday Parks – Queenstown Lakeview keeps things simple: a clean, friendly, walkable base in a town where every day starts with the mountains.
