"It was very quiet, great for stargazing, we loved being close to the hot pools and the lake and the town. Our family really likes having the 2 bedrooms. "
"Generally well located. Never got communication about check in, which would have been very inconvenient if I didn’t have an active mobile number to call to get instructions.
Room was large, but noting fancy. The view was of the neighbouring empty lot, with old mattresses piled up.
Did the trick, but probably wouldn’t stay again."
"The studio was fantastic with a huge flat screen tv and a host of futuristic features and appliances.
Only bad point was a shocking uncomfortable matter, we neam a really uncomfortable bed.
Really spoilt our night and our sleep."

"A one-night stay en route from Queenstown to Methven on a ski trip. Great place to stay, new, well equipped and warm, which is amazing in the coldest town in NZ. Super views from the unit, friendly host and a midday check out was very civilized (this applies only to some units). Highly recommend"
"Absolutely loved our stay. Has a functional kitchen, we were able to make ourselves pasta for dinner. Fantastic, peaceful location. You can’t go wrong booking this. "
"The only downside was that we were next to a room being renovated. This did not spoil the view from the room and the closeness to the lake. Absolutely loved it."

Very highly recommended "
"What an absolutely fabulous, beautiful place!!! We stayed in a 3 bedroom family lodge, it was just unbelievable. Felt so luxurious and absolutely all details were perfect, for example lovely quality toiletries. So spacious, we were 3 adults and 2 children. Immaculate stay! Washing machine and dryer in the garage were super convenient. Fully kitted kitchen. Would highly recommend. "
