Fantastic apartment close to town

Warm and cozy apartment within easy walk of central Queenstown - which would be even easier once the roadworks are done and direct access up Ballarat St becomes possible again. Will definitely keep in mind for a future stay.

Great location, very close to town centre. Had all the amenities needed. Best part was the fantastic view from apartment. Amazing! Property is probably not suitable if you have mobility issues as the apartment is on the second floor and only accessible by stairs.

Great property

Property was great, nice and comfortable. Managers friendly and easy to deal with. We really enjoyed our stay. Has a car park too. Only downside was the roadworks which started early in morning and made walking into town longer and with hills - but this is temporary and not the properties fault. Should be completed in next few months. We would stay here again in future

Couple of things for attention

Need to advise you that we couldn’t get cook top to work or the TV in lounge. May need attention.

Stunning view road noise can't be ignored

Nice place, easy access, clean and no issues but the road noise is a problem especially in the front bedroom. First thing in the morning it gets loud. Back room (2 beds) somewhat protected and folks can sleep better there. There is construction underway and in a few months access will be improved. Close to downtown, stunning view of the lake from the living room. Recommend if the noise isn't a big deal. If sensitive to noise look elsewhere.

Thank you for the kind words about the location and the view, glad both added to your stay. On the photos, they're taken by a professional photographer and are an accurate representation of the space, we always aim for the listing to reflect exactly what guests will find on arrival. Hope to host you again on your next visit to Queenstown.
