Recommendations

18 August 2011 | “I’d personally like to say what an absolute pleasure it was staying at The Rees during our ice experience event. I have had excellent feedback from all guests regarding their hotel stay and all remarks were extremely positive.

From my end, having run events for many years and stayed at some of the best hotels, I was extremely impressed by the service we received from your staff, particularly Steve (the Concierge), Kayla, Roman and Elise – all were  too happy to assist us with any of our needs and personally exceeded my expectations on many levels.

Thank you again and we will definitely stay at the Rees when we return to Queenstown again (hopefully in 2012).”

June 2011 | “You and your team are GOLD!

We all agreed the experience with you was fantastic. Given our workshop was about providing the WOW experience for our customers and going the extra mile to give exceptional customer service, it was fantastic to have just that with The Rees.

Our room was spot on with all the facilities arranged and in place as promised. No follow up required there. A great example of doing what you say. Thanks.
I’m not sure how you did it, but it seemed every time we left the room you managed to freshen it up for our return. Noticed and appreciated.
The lunch was “WOW”. Just doesn’t get better.

Interaction with everyone at The Rees was exceptional. Roman is always so professional, yet makes you feel welcome and relaxed. Just such a pleasure to return each time.

Before joining you for our training weekend I had communicated the workshop was a ‘retreat’ to my team. Really just a fun spin on a workshop that we had a laugh about, however, The Rees turned it into a Retreat.

We loved our stay and will certainly book more with you and recommend to others.

Thanks again and really well done for getting it right!”

“Both Rachel and myself were absolutely impressed with our wonderful experience at The Ree’s – such a beautiful venue which really suited our training.
From your very friendly welcome Roman, Sarah helping us to take our excessive luggage to our room & parking my car.
Veronica in the restaurant for great service and making sure our room was set up to our liking. To our checkout. Your total package of customer service certainly could not be faulted. I would have to say the whole experience was the best customer service I have ever received. Both Rachel and I travel for our jobs and I have been on the road in the South Island for 7 Years and your team take the cake. Thankyou to you all for your wonderful commitment in truly making The Ree’s an experience to remember. We will definitely be back.

Kind regards and I look forward to my next wonderful experience at The Ree’s.”

“Hi Mark

The Rees proved a great venue both for the cocktail function and Board meeting. The absoloutely breathtaking weather on our arival day gave most of us that heart in our mouths experience as we walked into our rooms. No doubt you are very proud of what has been achieved – and so you should be.”

“Mark, I was really proud of what you were able to do on the evening, there has been many positive comments.

The Rees in my view sets a new standard and with you at the helm I’m sure it is going to go places, just need some help from inbound in the next few months!!”

“I’m just the organiser of your venue for our team (didn’t get asked to come!) however I would have to say that after a chat with our CEO this morning you and your team have done a fantastic job! Could I say he raved on….. they all absoloutely loved their stay with you. Views to die for and fabulous service by all charged to look after them. Most impressed with the man who showed them the wine cellar and talked about it too. Food was also perfect.

We approached three other venues in Queenstown before choosing The Rees. The choice was mainly because all of my questions were answered quickly and accurately and also a full package of information was sent to us as well, much more thorough than any of the others.”

22  June 2009 | “I just wanted to say thank you so much indeed for all of your help with our conference over the last week.

I’ve had such good feedback from everyone here at Schering-Plough and I must say that the customer service you and your team have is excellent.

The scenery was brilliant, the food was wonderful, absolutely lovely…

Please do pass our thanks on to Roman, Andrew and the team at front desk – I know sorting the bill at the end was a bit of a nightmare but we got there in the end!
Also, please do thank everyone in the kitchen and restaurant – the chefs were amazing and the waiting staff were very attentive – both very important indeed!

I would recommend your establishment to others who are looking to stay in Queenstown – in fact I have already!”

“I would like to say a big Thank You from the Staff at CHP Consulting. We all had a lovely time in Queenstown and the outstanding hospitality and efficiency we received from all the staff at the Rees hotel from check in with Andrew, Alex and Rowan to check out, it was very much appreciated. The team went out of their way to make sure all our staff’s needs were met no matter what their requests. I felt that the way in which Andrew organises the express check in for groups is highly commendable, especially since a few of our staff had an extended stop over in Christchurch that lead to a long day of travel.

To Elizabeth and Nicky, I would like to thank you both for all your organisation of both accommodation and the meeting itself in the lead up to our Company Conference and all the work you did on the day. Our constant changes (sometimes daily) with our requests were always complimented with a speedy response from you both.

Sonja, your attentiveness and punctuality helped to make our 2009 Annual Company Conference run smoothly and on time. CHP Consulting always runs on a tight schedule for our conferences and meetings so again your timeliness was very much appreciated.

Whilst the Interior of the rooms at The Rees Hotel were beautifully designed and decorated, it will be the staff themselves and not the accommodation that will remain in my memory the most.

I wish you all the best for the future and would like to take this opportunity again to thank all the Staff at The Rees hotel on behalf of CHP Consulting.”

I also would like to thank you, Mark and your team for ensuring everything ran smoothly from check in to check out and I would like to mention that the few last minute requests that I personally made were swiftly and professionally dealt with at all times.”
