The hotel had rooms constructed in pairs, offering a mix of an apartment with a kitchen and a spacious bedroom suite. While the views of the lake and mountains were lovely, the expensive pricing for a two-night stay may not have represented value for money.

The hotel offers fine rooms with a gorgeous view, though they are somewhat basic compared to properties in North America at a similar price point. You pay more for the location and facilities. The rooms were spacious, clean, fully self-contained, and exactly as portrayed in pictures. The free shuttle to and from the bustling CBD every hour is convenient, and the staff is friendly and helpful. While the view overlooks the rooftops of rooms below, the focus is on the stunning lake view beyond.

The hotel had stunning rooms with exceptional views, although we had noisy neighbors during our stay. The rooms were nice in size, modern, and comfortable, but somewhat hot. They featured fantastic beds, bathrooms, and a great kitchen. The service was professional and friendly, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, even during busy times. The location was quiet with great views of Lake Wakatipu, making it very convenient to both the airport and town center. The dining experience was average, but the service disappointing for a hotel of this standard. Overall, a lovely place with minor noise disturbances.
