The location is excellent- the property itself is very old and rundown, but comfortable. We regarded it like an old Kiwi bach (we are Kiwis) rustic, but comfortable in it's own way. Reasonably priced for Queenstown!

Great location….easy walk to town. However the property is old and badly needs updating. Only a key lock on door….no deadbolt….room was very noisy due to proximity to street. Lost power in the room the morning of our departure.

The motel is a short walk from the centre of town and an even shorter walk from the lake. On the ground floor the view is blocked by a hedge so book an upper floor if you can. It is on a main road, an issue for a light sleeper like me but my husband was fine with it. All the other motels we used had a coffee press and we missed that

Hotel is older and facilities are a bit dated, but good-sized room (with a nice balcony overlooking the lake) and clean. Very pricy, but that should be expected for Queenstown during the Christmas season. Excellent location across the street from the lake and short walk to central Queenstown.

Amazing location, but ..........

The best part about this place is the location. Right on the lake, fab views, also decent price. But very, very noisy from the road. Room windows so badly insulated that even the sparrows chirping loud! Some simple maintenance would fix this.

This was a last minute booking and a room was ready. Great views, hot shower, the tv worked. I could walk everywhere, it has onsite parking. The stairs could really do with some maintenance or even replaced with something safer.
