We came to stay in Queenstown for the first time to explore its beautiful surrounds . Even though the motel was a little out of town it was an exceptional surprise.The convenience of in house dining at Mimso Kitchen was great where the service and food was exceptional - a most enjoyable experience. Highly recommended.
