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.

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

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.
