EICHARDT’S BAR

Rich with atmosphere, history and ambience, Eichardt’s Bar is quite unlike anything else on offer in Queenstown. The gold miners of the late 1800s may be long gone, but this chic and classically styled establishment gives a loving nod to a colourful past that is long gone but not forgotten.

The site of Eichardt’s Bar was once home to Queenstown’s first building—William Rees’ woolshed. The discovery of gold transformed Queenstown’s prosperity, and the establishment soon became a pioneer of hospitality and good service in the region.

To this day, Eichardt’s Bar has never forgotten the foundation upon which it was built. The atmosphere and decor inside Eichardt’s Bar is an ode to our heritage. Sofas sit adjacent a homely fireplace, complemented by elegant furnishings acknowledging eras both old and new.

The highlight of our trip
We were so glad to come to Queenstown yesterday and to check in to such a nice place. The staff here is amazing, nothing is a bother, it is a beautifully presented hotel and the setting is literally perfect you can walk everywhere in town. You are right on the lake also. All great and wouldn’t complain about a single thing as I love boutique hotels and this one is a gem.

Unforgettable
We arrived at Eichardt’s Private Hotel after a long flight from San Francisco. The pictures on the web site do not do it justice. Stunning suite with large balcony, bathroom with heated floors and towel rack. Gas fireplace and lots of sitting options. The service is impeccable without being cold and detached. Fantastic breakfasts and a lively and cozy bar overlooking the water. Minutes away on foot from a magnificent flower garden. Hope to have the pleasure of returning one day.
