We had a great stay here, perfect for 2 couples or a family. The lake view from the deck is spectacular!! The unit is as it shows online. This part of Queenstown is always our first choice, being a short and flat walk into the wharf and town area.

Yes, every thing was clean and well maintained. Great location, comfortable beds, everything you needed to prepare a meal. Awesome views from the patio. It was a very easy walk to bars and restaurants. Tour operators were able to you up about 300 ft from the apartment. The host provided check in instructions well ahead of our arrival.

Great location near the lake & town but little road noise despite being close by.Apartment seemed to be partway through a renovation, so not perfect (eg missing switch covers, cupboard door handles, basin plugs) but the areas completed (by comparison with photos on listing) were fine. Patio furniture is a bit tired.
