We (me and my girlfriend) stayed at the Goldridge Resort a few times over the last year on our frequent fishing trips to the Queenstown lake area, which is a nice place for a variety of fishes. The best part of Goldridge is that it is an excellent budget priced place and ideal for these kind of short trips. We got the good deal online through the portal of Antilog Vacations. Initial welcome and checking in there was not problematic and Antilog Vacations had ensured our reservations properly. The staff was friendly and helpful despite the budget pricing of the hotel and assisted us throughout our stay.
The balcony room in the block 5 provided an excellent view of the bordering lake. The balcony is decently large and coupled with the rocking chair is a haven for 2 people. Our room was comfortable and spacious. The bed was large and covered a decent area in the room of 550 sq ft. The bathroom was adequately decked with toiletries. The resort was located back enough from the main road such that the milieu was not noisy. We also got the info that the hotel was built with exteriors ahead of its time and hence needs a bit of renovation to complete the look.
The breakfast was included in the package. It was one of the high points in our stay as the buffet had exciting varieties on offer. Moreover while having the buffet breakfast; the great view of the valley out of the breakfast table window was exotic. The chef was preparing scrambled, fried or poached egg for breakfast. The motel is as such located very close to the main road in mainland Queenstown but any impending worries about the traffic noise was uncalled for as the sliding glass door took care of it and it was not a problem at all.
