Beautiful room and views short drive from town
This property was amazing and the staff were all so helpful. It is being renovated which was very clearly advised at the time of booking. The obly impacts of this were - less parking, no on-site restaurant and uust a bit of a less inviting entry from the road. Once you are in the carpark it is great. The room was clean, spacious and had stunning views. We stayed in a penthouse and would stay again when we are back in Queenstown. Good sized rooms, great wardrobe space, large bathrooms with heated tiles, good sized living area, coffee machine and wonderful daily house keeping. Location wise the views are amazing, driving into town is quick and easy. The path at the front allows walking in to town easy and the bus stop close by made getting to the snow (remarkables) straight forward.

The staff are very helpful and friendly. The apartments are lovely, pretty clean and tidy. The only downfall is the construction at the moment with the larking very tight and the use of a traffic light which is very very very slow. Overall pretty satisfied though.

Currently under refurbishment Altho this wasn’t a major but something to be aware of. Noisy fan in 2nd bedroom that goes all the time is very annoying & led to very broken sleep. No aircon so bedrooms very stuffy as no windows. Outstanding views, beautiful, well equipped rooms.

Stunning views and great location.
Very nice property, amazing views indeed… close to city and they offer a shuttle service to and from the CBD which was an excellent option for us. Room is very clean and equipped with everything we needed.. kitchen and bathroom are both spotless. Nice and friendly staff.. construction is still going on but didn’t bother us at all. The only downside is Parking which is a big problem due to ongoing construction, but apart from the parking issue, we enjoyed our stay. Will be back for sure

The view of the lake was beautiful… Not having a restaurant, or even a place to buy some snacks was terrible… The hotel is having a new area built with more units… But some arrangements should be made for food… For such a quality hotel… Even smaller, lower, rated hotels, have some type of snack bar… Very poor decision by management to not have anything

Beautiful view but disappointing housekeeping
We booked the lake view sub Penthouse about 8 weeks prior to arrivals via Hotel.com. There was no mention about ongoing renovations. So when we arrived, half the hotel and carpark was under scaffolding so access can be hard if you don’t have a car. If you have a car, you need to pre book a carpark (quite narrow and steep to get to) otherwise you will have to park elsewhere which may be inconvenient. The reception area is really small and chaotic if more than 4 people around for check in due to renovations. The room itself ( 2 bed and 2 bath apt with a spectacular lake view was gorgeous and spacious. However because of the renovations - the bedroom views were all facing the construction site so the curtains were closed during our 3 night stay. Housekeeping - this was disappointing particularly for a premium apt/ room. There were dead mosquitoes/ insects on the bathroom windowsills and also bathroom tops. The windowsills had a layer of dust. The next day we asked the reception about housekeeping and they had to check whether our room included housekeeping !!!??? - so check when u make the booking. This was included but when we returned that evening, our room / apt appeared half done eg. Dirty towels removed but not replaced, new pillow cases placed by bedside tables, dead insects still on window sills!! The location was great and I cannot fault the quality of the room/ apt with its finishings and comfort of the beds.
