Clean, comfortable, walking distances, and unbeatable view

As other reviewers have said, the furniture is a little worn, but the duplex was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a good mattress, fluffy white towels, and a washer & drier as a bonus. (Nice kitchen but no coffee maker and cherry scented body wash in showers.) We enjoyed the stunning view from the large terrace and the short walk to town. Parking requires some precision steering, but is manageable for a midsize car and a confident driver.

Bliss in Queenstown

Amazing apartment, walking distance to the city centre. Very clean, warm, with beautiful veiws of the lake. The only downfall was communication with the host. I had to message to get access details. I would definitely recommend this accommodation. I would even stay again.

Great Location for Four Days in Queenstown

Cute property with an easy 5-10 minute walk into town. The parking space was very tight but we did not have to go in/out much so it was fine. Great views from the balcony and there were basic essentials for coffee, cooking, and laundry left by previous visitors. Four stars only because the property could use a little TLC. The water pressure was nonexistent and there was a sewer smell coming from the main floor bathroom. Other than that, everything was perfect.

The Best!!

We could not have chosen a better location and condo. We were so pleased with the cleanliness, location, ease of check in, departure and the view was outstanding. A quick walk to the wharf, restaurants, shops and meeting places for many of the tours offered. I was also grateful for a designated parking space. Definitely would return to this location!!

Awesome lake and mountain views

Great location and gorgeous views. Condo is well kept. But couches need to be replaced. Very old and not very comfy cause it lost its firm cushions. Kitchen should have more knives. Only had one.

Many small maintenance issues. Eg door falling off tracks in wardrobe, broken door handle in bathroom, broken fridge tray, poor drainage from bathroom sink, towel rail falling off wall, broken washer on kitchen tap. Could only connect three devices to wifi at any one time. Living room furniture stained and in poor state of repair. Dining chair broken. Excellent location and great views. Host did not respond to messages.

Beautiful views and comfortable stay

Absolutely amazing views at this very comfortable, spacious, well equipped spot. Easy walk to town, and did I mention the view?! Some of the furniture could use an update (the couches were pretty squishy), but overall the place was perfect for 2 couples. We cooked dinner in a couple of nights and it had everything we needed. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Amazing Views!

This is a fantastic Queenstown property, you really feel a part of Lake Wakatipu with the amazing views. A very short walk to town, easy check in, clean and tidy. Large living area and well appointed kitchen. Great for our family. Watch the carpark with sharp angles and limited height, but fine for our Xtrail with ski rack. This place definitely enhanced our Queenstown stay. A
