I would recommend this hotel, beautiful location outside of Queenstown. Friendly and helpful staff. The front desk staff were very accommodating and lent me a charger. Parking available. Great studio apartment with wonderful few of Lake Wakatipu. Had a great walk around the lake from the hotel to the Boatshed Bakery and beyond.

Had such a wonderful stay at this hotel the bed was so comfortable to sleep on had a very restful sleep. The room was nice and cosy, very convenient to have a mini kitchen in the room to make your meals if you dont feel like dinning out. The service is definitely 5 star and the buffet breakfast was well worth paying for.

Bond of $100/night taken, with it taking up to two weeks to be refunded. Unexplained extra costs. Parking provided, but we had to pay $32 for two days parking. We could get the same amenities, plus a washer and dryer in Frankton for half the price. We will not be staying there again.

Giz at reception has to be the most helpful receptionist I have ever dealt with, seriously welcoming when you arrive, and nothing was ever to much for her.. Loved the place from arrival, and the cookies are yumm! It’s abit out of Queenstown, say $40 uber ride each way, but UberEats also works and the location is amazing.

Clean and comfortable rooms, however hardly any hot water lukewarm at best. Staff were attentive, would have been practical to know before booking that we couldn’t use the adjacent swimming pool at the Hilton without incurring an additional cost.
