"Great location — only about a 10-minute walk from the centre of Queenstown, but far enough away to avoid the noise and crowds. We had beautiful views of the lake and mountains to wake up to each morning. There was plenty of room for a family, the beds were comfortable, and the heaters worked a treat to keep the apartment warm during winter. The fully equipped kitchen was also really handy. The staff were very friendly and helpful and were happy to assist with every request we had. Overall, a comfortable and convenient place to stay with amazing views, and we would happily stay here again."

"The staff was one of the best we have had when traveling, genuinely happy and helpful.

The outdoor hot “springs tubs” were great after days of skiing and the fireplace and outdoor space in the room made it extra special. I do wish they had the Smokehouse open, but I understand it’s seasonal We would definately be back!"
