Incredible view at a great price. Balcony was a bonus and eoukd be great in warmer weather. The bathroom was large and immaculatly clean. The kitchen was a bit tired but perfectly functional and there are so many options to eat out or grab a takeaway within easy walking distance it realky wasnt a problem. Perfect location for getting to all the attractions in town. Overall if youre on a budget and want yo spend your money on going places and dling things but would like a nice view and a comfy bed yo return too with no frills then this is the place for you. Late check in by lockbox was easy too. Staff were happy to accommodate this.

The location is excellent- the property itself is very old and rundown, but comfortable. We regarded it like an old Kiwi bach (we are Kiwis) rustic, but comfortable in it's own way. Reasonably priced for Queenstown!

Noisiest hotel room I’ve ever stayed in

Very noisy room, booked 2 nights but only stayed one. a lot of street traffic all through the night (Sunday night at 1am was still busy) and it was a hot night and the rooms have no fans or air conditioning so we had to have the windows open, which made the traffic noise worse. Plus at the back of the hotel is a back packers Accom, and they were partying across the road directly below our room all night. Great location and great view, just don’t expect to sleep.

Great location….easy walk to town. However the property is old and badly needs updating. Only a key lock on door….no deadbolt….room was very noisy due to proximity to street. Lost power in the room the morning of our departure.

The motel is a short walk from the centre of town and an even shorter walk from the lake. On the ground floor the view is blocked by a hedge so book an upper floor if you can. It is on a main road, an issue for a light sleeper like me but my husband was fine with it. All the other motels we used had a coffee press and we missed that

Hotel is older and facilities are a bit dated, but good-sized room (with a nice balcony overlooking the lake) and clean. Very pricy, but that should be expected for Queenstown during the Christmas season. Excellent location across the street from the lake and short walk to central Queenstown.

Amazing location, but ..........

The best part about this place is the location. Right on the lake, fab views, also decent price. But very, very noisy from the road. Room windows so badly insulated that even the sparrows chirping loud! Some simple maintenance would fix this.
