We spent 3 nights here on our first (but not last) visit to Queenstown. The apartment is located close to the main town/city and has great facilities with a full kitchen and shared laundry, separate bedrooms, a great lounge dining area and good sized balcony with views of Lake Wakatipu and the mountains close by. It also has a lovely gas fire which gave the place a great atmosphere also. We are already planning a return trip next year. The only small issue we had was the traffic noise below our apartment.

The location is very convenient, walking distance to downtown and yep its a walk back up a rise, like most streets in Queenstown.... The views are amazing. The reception staff Annabel and Laura were so friendly and helpful. The problem is, this "hotel" suffers from an identity crisis brought on by an unhelpful marketing strategy promoting a 5 star hotel experience, hence the mixed bag of reviews. Its not a hotel, they're apartments, different types on different levels. We booked a Lakeview Suite and phoned ahead to confirm it was an actual Lakeview Suite and not the more budget apartment at the back. Yes, the apartment is getting worn and could do with a refit, but so can most of the accommodation in Queenstown if not NZ, unsuprisingly, after the pandemic which everyone seems to have forgotten about. Yes its expensive, but Queenstown IS expensive. But also breathtakingly beautiful. In short: if you want to see Queenstown, and enjoy a great location with fabulous views and understand self-catering apartment accommodation which is so common in NZ, this IS a great spot. We loved our stay, and would love to come back one day.

“Amazing views, great service and spacious rooms”

Brilliant service and a great setting. The views from this place are way better than in the heart of Queenstown and you are only a 10minute walk away anyhow.

Brilliant service and a great setting. The views from this place are way better than in the heart of Queenstown and you are only a 10minute walk away anyhow. The rooms are really spacious with a huge living area that opens on to your own balcony. The views are 180deg and stunning. The only thing is that the bathroom and kitchen are probably due for a refurb. They are very clean and well appointed but just a little tired. The staff are exceptional and the whole experience was really great. I would definitely stay again.
