Absolutely stunning view from the room. The property is getting a little tired but still very functional. It is quite a large complex and does take a little navigation. It is a nice walk in to the town.

Everything in Queenstown is expensive, but good selection at breakfast. Staff always very friendly. Rooms clean. However, shower in rooms could do with an upgrade as no real power & set quite low on the wall.

Outstanding stay at this property. Close to the town center just 10m walk. We had booked 6 nights stay and during check in upgraded our room to lake view with 60$/night which was worth as it gave us stunning view of lake and mountains and we had 2nd floor room which was connected to the lawn garden.. staff is friendly and helpful. Overall excellent stay

Affordable price and good for short stays if you just need a place to sleep. The pool was under construction during our visit, but it wasn’t a problem since we only stayed overnight.
