Two bedroom with kitchenette and ocean view. Older, not updated and wouldn't say well maintained - only adequately clean. Carpet old and believe it was that which smelled. I think. My husband and son fixed multiple things in the unit over the week. eg. Non-flushing toilet, closet door not opening / closing, drain on balcony clogged which with the amt of rain was a concern... We came in for ski vacation, rental SUV didn't fit in parkade so had to park down the street whole trip. Extra Parking was usually busy / tight as sharing with the motel, but they let us park there. Place is well located, so probably why priced how it was. We might stay again, but I would probably look around a bit for the price to be sure before I booked again. In my mind, I was paying a bit more for the lake / mountain views (outstanding), as I hung out a lot while the rest skied.

The car parking was tricky. Very narrow driveway. But once we parked things got better. I was on crutches so the stairs were a challenge. The bed were comfy and the apartment was clean. The views were the best part.

Booked two bedroom for 4 while another friend booked the same type of accommodation at the same time. My booking cost more but when we checked in we were told you’ve got the same type, “but you’re this way and you’re that way”. Our room was so small, dated, old, smelled funny and cold when we got in. My mates room was way bigger, new, second floor views and heated already. Not real happy and even my mate felt he gave us the wrong rooms….too late. Ripped off in the end.

Great location on the flat, no hills to climb and only a short stroll from town, no issues walking home late at night as a family or lone female. Good lake view and very spacious accommodation with all amenities. Drove past the other hotels and apartments we had initially considered and at $50-100 per night's difference in price, the extra spend was more than worth it, would definitely stay here again.

We did not stay at Lakefront Apartments! We were not contacted until we arrived in New Zealand that we had been bumped to their sister accommodation - The Lofts! Communication was disgusting and although the people at the Lofts were helpful - the apartment had a leaking roof, no cutlery to chop or slice vegetables, no plug for the kitchen sink. On the last night we had no power due to the road works this was not told to us until we went to find out why we had no power!! Would not recommend ever! Why were we not at the lakefront apartments when our booking was made 8months previous?????

We were friends traveling together and loved the spacious apartment with several balconies over looking the lake. The views were amazing. It was a quick 5 minute walk to the center of town. The only complaint we had was that the WIFI was barely usable as we were the furthest away from the office providing it.

The apartment was great, roomy and very close to town. The parking was challenging and given the traffic it would have been helpful to have been forewarned. If we knew what to expect it would have been easier. All the chairs and barstools were old and broken or worn out. Replacements would be a great improvement
