You simply cannot be disappointed by the views of the lake and the decor in the apartments.We have stayed many times in the various styles from the deluxe 2 bedroom to standard apartments. They are all of a good to high quality at a reasonable price for Queenstown. More

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment for one week on level 10 with the most incredible and uninterrupted views of Lake Wakatipu and the snow capped Remarkables. Immaculate, modern and very large apartment with great heating from the fireplace and floor heating(in all rooms). Large entertaining kitchen, laundry and balcony. Bus stop is very close, gentle walk into town... More

We stayed in a studio over easter and found the room to be modern, clean and well equipped. It wasn't particularly big, but you expect that from a studio. The bed was comfortable. The shower tended to overflow often as the bathroom floor was completely level. The view of the lake a very pleasant surprise. The staff at reception were... More

Having just gotten back from Queenstown for a holiday I though I would post some information about this hotel. We stayed for 5 nights in a 1 Bedroom Deluxe room and found the room to be spacious, well maintained and had all the creature comforts I am used to at home. We had a kitchen in this room and a...

We shared an apartment with a friend, which had a spacious living area, huge kitchen and bedrooms, ensuite in ours. The view of the snow-capped mountains and lake was amazing sitting next to the fireplace (gas). The only complaint we had was that the place is very difficult to navigate. It has winding hallways and the signage isn't brilliant. We... More

I think I scored a good rate as there were a lot of vacancies in Queenstown. Beautiful view of the lake. About a 40 minute walk outside of town which was nice in that it was so quiet but a bit inconvenient if one wanted to go back to the hotel for a rest before venturing out again. Buses run... More
