Nice view of lake, and nice but dated apartment. Not as nice as the pictures. The location is excellent. Management of property tried to put us in dirty and awful smelling property until we threatened to file a complaint.

We had a three bedroom apartment due to our family size. Apartment was of a good size and well equipped. Great view overlooking the lake and location was just a short 10 minute walk into the centre of Queenstown.

Great location.
Comfortable beds
Great amenities. Fully equipped
Nicely decided
Wasn’t expecting stairs - two levels but good separation between living sleeping
some doors a bit sticky and needs a towel holder in upstairs toilet.

We were very pleased with our accommodations. Right near the water, able to leave the car right in front of our room and walk everywhere. After reading some reviews say it was 80s style interior, I was not sure what to expect but found it very clean and comfortable. Well supplied with towels every day. Wifi was a bit spotty but not like we used it often. Would definitely stay here again. Enjoyable stay.

Great location on the flat, no hills to climb and only a short stroll from town, no issues walking home late at night as a family or lone female. Good lake view and very spacious accommodation with all amenities. Drove past the other hotels and apartments we had initially considered and at $50-100 per night's difference in price, the extra spend was more than worth it, would definitely stay here again.

Great value for money for a central apartment in Queenstown containing all of the facilities that you need including parking. The road noise is a little noisey but expected considering the location.
