Mixed review of apart-hotel in Queenstown

Great view, spacious, comfortable couches, nice fireplace. However, several issues made it less than ideal. First, the safe and bathroom floor heating did not work. The kitchen floor was heated and was great in the chilly mornings. No Sky Sport, only basic channels, had to go in to town to see All Blacks match. Worst issue is there are not enough parking spaces. On our longest day outing we got back after 8 hrs of driving to Milford and had to spend 5 minutes driving around the steep hills looking for street parking in the dark--not fun. They are honest about the steep walk from down, but to clarify it is downhill to town, uphill back. An uber is about 13 dollars to take you back up if that is not appealing. Also, the stairs down from parking to the unit were steep and there are two really heavy doors to get through with room key, not suitable for older folks with large suitcases. Finally, work was being done on the unit next to us, but we were not informed prior to our check in NOR at check in which was not up to standards of a four or five star place.

Loved the heated floors and views from our apartment. Super clean. Beds were very comfy and rooms spacious. Our apartment had a washing and dryer machine and all items needed to be comfortable. Parking was a bit tricky if you didn’t find a spot. The location was on a hill but a 12 minute safe and comfortable walk and you are in the middle of the centre. Overall, I loved this place and will book again.

Great views, great location, great service

We had a great holiday! Such a great location with wonderful views. Far enough to be away from the busyness of Queenstown but only a 10-15min walk in for dinner which was perfect for us. There were also running/mountain bike trails 2mins away. We had a couple of minor issues that we communicated with the property about and they were incredibly helpful and responsive.
