We enjoyed being 5 mins walk from the Remarkable Shopping Centre with good supermarket, eateries and bus transport to town centre and Arrowtown. Also there are fun indoor activities for kids, summer market and a good library just up the road. The apartment itself has all you need, including washer and dryer though not internet/tv connection which was frustrating for kids. Also the good cafe downstairs was closed in this peak holiday time which was very disappointing. Although there was initially poor communication with reception staff I was impressed at their handling of a midnight fire alarm crisis - fortunately a false alarm but evacuation went perfectly.
