Queen Charlotte Sound, Marlborough hotel rooms at the Independent

"The room was clean, the harbor view was incredible, and we watched a beautiful sunset over the mountains! The only thing to note, is it is on a steep hill which is a little tricky driving up to the hotel parking, so we parked on the street, which was fine."

"pretty view from balcony - very efficient and helpful front desk "

"Beautiful location, with great views, a lovely restaurant and good facilities."

"Clean room. "

"The owners were very helpful and accommodating. "

"Absolutely: well presented and clean, tidy, with a welcoming Manageress to add to the positives 🤓"

"In no way this is a 5 star resort. Completely overpriced for the level of services provided. Staff members were all polite but definitely not well trained and transactional, food very mediocre. Spectacular location. This resort is priced at the level of an Aman or Mandarin Oriental-type property and it is very far away from that. Very disappointing for the price we paid. "
