Excellent place to relax and chill out.

Pros: Spacious and clean and everything is all there.
Cons: Nothing really of any note.
Location: Golf is the main activity . Waking is great too and generally enjoying the marvellous views of the surrounding countryside.
Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay which should have been longer.

Spectacular views and great amenities in the villa

Pros: Location and amenities are all great.
Cons: The food and beverage options are pretty limited and with little choice avaiable
Location: There is plenty to do and choices for different tastes and interests
Terrace Downs is on the pricey end of the spectrum but the views and tranquility make it worthwhile. I would say that the restaurant and cafe areas need to be rethought as the food was not up to the standard set by the rest of the experience and the change made to make breakfast a buffet style without any notification meant we checked out early and went elsewhere.

Beautiful getaway

Cons: Very windy & quite cool, so pack a jacket etc.
Gorgeous fully self contained, lovely large 1 bedroom unit with spa bath, modern, comfortable furnishings, a gas log fireplace was lovely, 2 wing backed chairs - nice to sit by the fire. The views were amazing. Large windows overlooking the huge mountains & lake, golf course & countryside. everything is green - looks like a postcard - just beautiful! Can imagine how it would look with snow everywhere, would love to come back in the winter. The restaurant was very good - really enjoyed our stay. A golfers dream! Loved it!!

Amazing so beautiful

Beyond the luxurious chalets, the breathtaking views and the total peace and quiet are the excellent staff, first rate service and desire to stay much longer .

Fantastic views, large spacious rooms

Pros: View of the snow capped mountains, large villa, warm beds
Cons: Dinner at the restaurant was nice but expensive so potato croquettes with the steak was a disappointment.
We used the Hotel for a stopover between Queenstown and Christchurch and wished we had stayed a little longer-maybe next time!
