We were friends traveling together and loved the spacious apartment with several balconies over looking the lake. The views were amazing. It was a quick 5 minute walk to the center of town. The only complaint we had was that the WIFI was barely usable as we were the furthest away from the office providing it.

The apartment was great, roomy and very close to town. The parking was challenging and given the traffic it would have been helpful to have been forewarned. If we knew what to expect it would have been easier. All the chairs and barstools were old and broken or worn out. Replacements would be a great improvement

The images online were not representative of the properly which actually the lodges not lakefront apartments - it is in poor condition. Carpets a trip hazard. Leaking water through light fittings. No cooling in bedrooms. Slip hazard bathroom tiles. Quilt covers dusty. Would not recommend for the outrageous price - very disappointing property

We booked this suite 6 months out from our holiday. Then, 12 hours before we got on the plane, we got a one-sentence to say that the hotel was closed for maintenance, and they moved us to another "sister" apartment. The place they put us in would not have been our choice, but we had to take it because we had no warning. We checked this apartment while on holiday, and it did appear that guests were staying there. I would be very cautious dealing with this company.

Great value for money for a central apartment in Queenstown containing all of the facilities that you need including parking. The road noise is a little noisey but expected considering the location.

So nice to have a full two bedroom apartment! It would be perfect once the boil-water notice is lifted but it's such an easy walk in to the centre of Queenstown it didn't really matter too much.

apartment is very good and i enjoyed my stay overthere. Would put 2 problems to this property, no reception, took me 45 mins to find someone who told me to go to the apartments next door and get my key. Second problem, cleaning after the first night was bad, apart from that, great place to stay

Very old and tired property. Shouldn't be classified as an apartment. It's completely not the same as per advertised. The front desk person completely not concern about my complain regarding the apartment. Completely dishonest for the whole thing. Rooms can't be lock. Some handles completely pull out. Rooms smelly. Construction happening next door and downstairs. It's totally unsafe for residents. Will never booked with Expedia again or stay at this awful place again.

Property is good for what you pay for, but the parking is awful. The parking spots are too small for anything med size SUV or bigger, i saw many people park on the street (very limited) for that reason
