Heartland Hotel Queenstown Dog Friendly Review
Heartland Hotel Queenstown holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, but it still has some genuine strengths for dog owners. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor areas such as the terrace or patio when accompanied by their owner, and there are green spaces and parks nearby for walks, with staff able to point you towards good local walking routes. There is no weight or size limit, which opens the stay to dogs of any size.
In the room you will find a dog bed, with reception able to help if the size does not suit, along with two bowls provided for food and water. The hotel also puts out a free treat for your dog and supplies poop bags, with more available from reception on request. A well behaved dog may be left alone in the room for a short time while you eat in the hotel restaurant. The dog fee is a $35.00 surcharge per day per dog, and there is no damage deposit, though a credit card is taken at booking or check in and any damages will be charged back. Up to two dogs per room are allowed.
The main restriction is that only five rooms in the hotel are dedicated as dog friendly, so availability is limited and early booking matters. There is no garden for dogs to use, no dedicated dog space, no dog wash area, and dogs are not allowed in the bar, restaurant or lounge beyond the brief unattended stay mentioned above. There is no dog-walking service, grooming, or sitter arrangement, and no dog toys, charity support or emergency vet number are mentioned. This stay suits an owner with a well behaved, any-sized dog who mainly wants outdoor access and nearby walks rather than indoor amenities or extra services, while those wanting a garden, dog-centred facilities or flexible room choice should look elsewhere.
Roch Score: 18/77. Meets the Roch Dog Friendly Standard. This hotel has been evaluated, ranked and reviewed using the Roch Standard, the world’s first dog friendly standard for the hotel industry. We gathered data directly from the hotel and benchmarked it against thousands of other hotels to accurately and fairly derive its rank.
