Quest on Kilmore
The rooms are great, stayed twice while travelling. Very spacious and so well equipped we had everything we wanted. First room had washing machine and dryer - top models! We took our own breakfast things but also walked to nearby breakfast venue- Laneway. Tops. Evening meals were right next door ...

Swiss-Belsuites Pounamu Queenstown
Rooms were great. Clean and spacious enough for our needs. The beds are showing their age though and are a bit uncomfortable but not enough to make the stay unbearable. The laundry facilities were a definite plus!!
