Reviews and Ratings
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel with its well-appointed rooms featuring schist feature gas fireplaces, fully equipped kitchen, and breathtaking views. The friendly and helpful service made my experience even more enjoyable, though the dining options were a bit limited. The location, close to restaurants but away from the crowds, was perfect for a relaxing getaway.
The hotel provided a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks. The rooms were cozy and clean, although not as dark for sleeping as expected from the website. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to assist us. The location was convenient, albeit a bit noisy overlooking the car park. The dining experience was satisfactory but could use more variety. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor inconveniences.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The location was perfect, away from the hustle and bustle but close to restaurants. The rooms were cozy with underfloor heating, although a fan would have been nice. The service was outstanding, from helpful porters to a knowledgeable concierge. The dining experience was decent but could use improvement. Overall, a great value for the money with beautiful views of the lake.
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.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with its nice, clean rooms offering a beautiful view of the lake and mountains. It was a bit noisy at times, but overall, the rooms were spacious, had modern furnishings, amazing views, and great facilities. The experience was exactly as advertised - beautiful view, comfortable, cozy, and paperless, just like in the pictures.
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.
My stay at the hotel was simply amazing. The rooms were fantastic and had a huge balcony with a big table, perfect for enjoying breakfast under the morning sun. The view from my room was stunning, and the apartment layout made it extremely comfortable and clean. The service was top-notch, with staff being attentive and extremely helpful. The location is beautiful, providing amazing views and a convenient distance from Queenstown. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, being crowded and chaotic at times. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor hiccups.
I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel is in a great location, just off the main thoroughfare and close to the lake, offering a perfect place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The rooms were really nice, with a balcony, though the blankets were a bit light. The staff's service was outstanding, going above and beyond to make our stay special. The dining experience, while lovely, could have offered more variety and buffet options. Overall, a wonderful experience!
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.
