"Great to have laundry in apartment. Shower floor tiles were a little slippery when wet. Room 124 had view of airport and snow capped mountains. Bus stop is right across the street, straight into Queenstown. No need to use car at all during stay. Only issue is limited parking spaces for guests and it is first in gets one or it's eleven dollars per day."

"Great location — only about a 10-minute walk from the centre of Queenstown, but far enough away to avoid the noise and crowds. We had beautiful views of the lake and mountains to wake up to each morning. There was plenty of room for a family, the beds were comfortable, and the heaters worked a treat to keep the apartment warm during winter. The fully equipped kitchen was also really handy. The staff were very friendly and helpful and were happy to assist with every request we had. Overall, a comfortable and convenient place to stay with amazing views, and we would happily stay here again."
