"If you are looking for a place to stay. Look no further. This is worth every dollar. A 10star if I could rate it that high. From the hotel standards to the customer service. There was nothing to fault."

"Room was clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. Buffet breakfast was ok not the best but not the worst we have had. Our bed was a bit worn as it sunk down in the middle. Apart from those minor things we really enjoyed our stay."

10/10 Excellent
"We booked a family ensuite room at what we thought was a hostel for our one night in Queenstown not expecting much, and were very pleasantly surprised at how comfortable, clean, and just generally nice the room was. It happened to be the night that the World Cup semi final was on at 7 AM, but we couldn't get it on the TV in our room. The lovely lady at reception had no idea how to fix that, but found us another, empty room where we could watch the important game, which was absolutely above and beyond. Would return here in a heartbeat. (Also, even though we arrived about 10 PM, we were able to park almost right outside our room, in the height of ski season.)"
