Great room and great location - nice and quiet. Lots of good facilities available making it feel much more homely than most hotel rooms. I was a little nervous given some of the recent reviews but I definitely would be back for good value and location. It was nice being out of town and missing a lot of the traffic. And no one has mentioned that Attitude Brewing is just down the road! Lots of lovely little eating places just around the corner too.

Beautiful location and apartment. Lots and lots of space in the room and a wonderful balcony with great views of the area. Cooking was easy, layout was wonderful. It’s a bit of a way from Queenstown, but then you’re safe from its bustle.

Great location for a fantastic view of the lake!
Easy to find on main road into Queenstown.
Large spacious room, quiet and clean. Fully self contained apartments, great for families.
Parking out front.
Located about 5kms from Queenstown centre, so we had a car but also local bus stop right out front.
Best view of the lake and long walking track along the front of the apartments.
Wine bar close by and pop up brewery.
2kms to other large shopping complex and not far from airport.
We would definitely stay here again!

Easy check in/out,
we did have issues with not having twin beds made into the king. The team left linens at the door for us to do. The beds were different heights which made sleeping uncomfortable for a couple
The curtains in the rooms werent hiding any light with the lights from carpark streaming through, the whole room was lit up. We did not sleep well here.
There were some light bulbs that werent working but the team offered to come and change them for us
There was construction in the apartment above us which was very noisy during the day when we were trying to rest. If we had of known this was going to happen we would have stayed elsewhere
The place was warm and welcoming, it was nice to have heated floors in the bathroom. Rooms we spacious enough. Good cooking areas and open plan living, dinning, kitchen

The property was great with a lot of space, clean and everything new. The location was very convenient with a big shopping area 3 min away and close to the snow field of choice. A bit further from Queenstown centre but once you know where to park in Queenstown and what are the times to avoid the drive then that is not a problem.

Spacious and calm, with a great view of The Remarkables. We took all our meals outside on the terrasse.
The only down was a missing remote for the TV in the bedroom.
