Nice view of lake, and nice but dated apartment. Not as nice as the pictures. The location is excellent. Management of property tried to put us in dirty and awful smelling property until we threatened to file a complaint.

We had a three bedroom apartment due to our family size. Apartment was of a good size and well equipped. Great view overlooking the lake and location was just a short 10 minute walk into the centre of Queenstown.
