Enjoyed my recent 2 night stay at Highview apartments. I had a spacious lakeview room which was clean and tidy, warm, with an amazing view over Queenstown. Only a 15-20 minute walk into town. Very reasonably priced too for what you get. Highly recommended!

Could hear their eve...

We had a really nice stay at Highview Apartments. The staff member who greeted us was friendly and helpful. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable with a fabulous view over Queenstown. Apartment was warm and also had a lovely fireplace which was a bonus. Good cooking facilities although we ate out. It is self catering with no food on site
