Picturesque and convenient location with lots to see and do nearby
Pros:

Late arrival check-in was super easy and the close location to heaps of food places made it very convenient each evening too. The room had some very nice views from the balcony - especially in the chilly mornings. Although I wasn’t familiar with just how cold Queenstown’s winter weather gets, the room was always a warm and cozy temperature to come back to. Super quiet place overall too as we rarely crossed paths with others staying there which made it feel a little more nice and personal. Would definitely stay here again!

Warm brilliant view and location but small rooms

Overall was a great stay!
Pros:

Great views of Lake Wakatipu right at the balcony, fantastic location. Literally a 2-3 mins walk into town Centre, shopping places and restaurants.
Rooms and living space were really spacious. Space was also well maintained and kept clean. Beds were comfortable, Heaters were provided in the living room and bedrooms which was great. Check in was really easy at the reception. Parking is available but do note that the lots are pretty tight for a big car!

Cons:

It is a bit pricey but I guess we were paying for the great views and convenience. Using the Washing machine and dryer wasn’t free, so if you’re getting laundry done, make sure you prepare coins to use the machine. Dryer wasn’t working well so our clothes were still pretty damp when we collected it.

Great value for money.
Pros:

The view was amazing. The location was on point. Great lounge kitchen area. Good off street parking.
