The room itself was wonderful. The instructions after hours very clear. Maybe due to Public Holiday, the réception opening hours were restricted. The room view was ok for a night arrival and 1 day stay.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, the hotel rooms are spacious and great for families. There is no daily room cleaning unless you pay extra for it, and it is a fair walk into the city centre. Parking at night can be extremely difficult during peak season and there isn’t enough parking for everyone and we had to find parking on the street which is difficult in Queenstown in general.

Perfect property

This property was amazing. The views from the large patio were spectacular! I loved the ability to open the huge sliding glass door that was actually the wall that faced Lake Wakatipu. The property was very clean , the bed was very comfortable and we had all the amenities that we needed. The property was also close to town so it was easy to just walk in to town. I would highly recommend this property.

If you’re looking for a superbly equipped, very clean and comfortable living space a short walk from town with amazing views, this is it! Excellent communication, nothing in the apartment left to chance, would recommend this as a base and will stay here again!

Stunning apartment and views!

The apartment was large, with a full kitchen, comfortable lounge area with fire, very comfortable bed and a large bathroom which included both a bath and separate shower. The views were absolutely amazing! Everything was extremely clean, it was very quiet and parking was provided. It is an easy short walk into the centre (uphill on the way back). Our stay here was unfortunately cut short due to Cyclone Alfred, as our flights were cancelled twice. Rene and his team were amazing and very understanding. Communication with them was excellent and they went out of their way to try to accomodate us when our dates had to change. We can certainly recommend Highview apartments and will definitely stay here again whenever we get the chance.

Fabulous apartment and views.

Loved this apartment and the beautiful views across the lake to the Remarkables. Very comfortable and had everything we needed for a 5 night stay. Easy walk into town but the bus also stops near the door (I believe). The apartment was very clean but there were a couple of obvious stains on the carpets, otherwise I would have rated excellent for cleanliness.

Eric’s 2 night stay

We enjoyed our 2 night stay here. Although the room was described as no-view, we found there was a view of the Lake and the Remarkables from a large window. The staff were so helpful and kind. Parking on site is a real plus in Queenstown. The room was clean and comfortable. Its a bit of a walk to town but not too bad.
