"I was on crutches and ended up needing to use the 2 lifts to get to our room which then happened to be the furthest room.on the aslie.(staff did offer to my partner to swap rooms but he declined this which was a good call as IT WAS A GREAT room! So worth the extra efforts and helped work off our Queenstown food. View from room was breathtaking. Huge rooms. Shower a walk-in so that was excellent. Had breakfast one morning. $20 each and was fine for price and convenience"
