Millbrook Resort is a lovely, golf-oriented resort just outside quaint Arrowtown. We spent one night at Millbrook at the conclusion of a tour and while it seemed that the property is primarily focused on golf, it is nonetheless a beautiful property with some very nice amenities. The architectural design of the buildings is charming — resembling a small neighborhood — and the guest suites are spacious, gorgeous and quiet. The fitness facility is comparable to a commercial gym, and the lap pool, though small, is a nice amenity. The breakfast buffet was sumptuous. Lots of staff and they are very responsive. Overall, this is an outstanding resort.

“Always Anticipating Another Return Visit.”

This was our sixth stay at Millbrook. Essentially, the things that keep drawing us back remain the same. Disappointingly for us, the facilities are much busier and getting a round of golf as a couple on our own was no longer possible.

This was our sixth stay at Millbrook. Essentially, the things that keep drawing us back remain the same. Disappointingly for us, the facilities are much busier and getting a round of golf as a couple on our own was no longer possible. There was something special about being able to play the fairways and admire the scenery as a married couple making memories. The on course restaurants are a highlight, particularly the Clubhouse breakfast, Kobe Cuising Japanese and the Millhouse for a special dinner. However there is increasing strong competition from the recently opened Ayrburn precinct.

“Very attractive venue”

We drove here from Queenstown. It is a very pretty golf resort with a spa.

We drove here from Queenstown. It is a very pretty golf resort with a spa. We started with a snack at Hole in One Cafe - it was very busy and so service was a little slow but it was nice to sit outdoors near the golf course. We then went for massages at the spa. This was also very busy with a children's party using the two functioning outdoor jacuzzis. There is also a small lane pool. These are both separate from massage area but can be used if you book a treatment. The spa is quite a long walk from the main car park which was also quite full. We had good massages and felt relaxed - it wasn't too busy although you could hear the children's party at times. The whole resort is very attractive and there is also a lovely drive back to Queenstown via Arthur's Seat.

“Lovely corner of the world”

We have visited Millbrook more than 20 times over the years, and generally want to give great reviews, for the location if nothing else.

We have visited Millbrook more than 20 times over the years, and generally want to give great reviews, for the location if nothing else. The Hole in One bar and Millhouse restaurant were both very good, with prompt service and good food. Breakfast was good, but it does feel odd to pay a part charge for coffee when this is an inclusion at many hotels these days, The grounds are in immaculate condition, which adds real charm. Front of house service was pleasant and professional, but lacked the ability to effect change. We had expressed a preference for a couple of specific units which the hotel was unable to meet (we do understand this, even though the booking were made in October last year). On paper the room allocated was in the same area but lacked the specific amenities we were looking for. Our strong preference if for a room with a fire, which ours did not, and it was a disabled unit, so toilet and Shower were disappointing. We asked to change, but were told this was not possible. It should be noted that the carpet in the unit was very badly marked, and could be considered for cleaning or replacement. Millbrook is still one of our favourite place to stay, and we will be back, but hope for a better outcome on room selection.
