Everyone was lovely however, including the young colombian and brit girls i encountered here especially i'm sorry i cannot re...

The room was spacious and comfortable, and the location couldn’t have been better — just a short walk to all the bars, restaurants, and the heart of Queenstown.

2 Bed Lakeview Apartment was perfect for a family. The 10th floor view was absolutely stunning and the facilities for a family were great with the 2 bathrooms and kitchenette. Also great proximity for walking to the centre of town. The underfloor heating in the bathroom was a huge plus and coffee machine a nice bonus as well. We would definitely love to stay again when we are next in Queensto...

The fireplace overlooking the mountains was just beautiful. The hotel staff were so accomodating - always going above and beyond to help. It was just a short stroll into town that is all footpath. We will definite...
