The apartment, check in/ out process was great. The pictures are misleading though. We were hyped for an apartment next to the grass looking at the lake however had our views obstructed by other apartments. Did bring this up with the management however never heard back from them. I also think we overpaid. $2800 for 5 nights. The location is great but you will find similar stays around the area for a lower price.

On the whole the property was good My comments. The mugs provided were very warn and stained They don’t look very hygienic. Also the drape facing the carpark did not keep the light out at all. The bright lights from the carpark kept the room light all night very annoying

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!

Decent room, terrible service

Tried to cancel my stay 3 weeks in advance and they wouldn’t accept. A lower level staff tried to help but it seems management is too greedy. No reception area so if you run into any problems outside working hours youre out of luck.
