Unfortunately, I booked accommodation early March 2026 and received a phone call a week prior to going to Queenstown to advise they had overbooked. I then had to follow up a couple of days prior to leaving due to lack of communication. They stated they had sent confirmation of booking via email alas I did not receive until I reached out again! They had organized alternative accommodation with their sister company - The Lofts which we were not happy with the accommodation due to lack of cleanliness, bathroom marks and stains, very old looking and doesn't even compare to the photos on their website. Money definitely needs to be spent to upgrade ... and clean under the cushions! There is a cherry on the top, the location is perfect and everything at your finger's tips, walking easy. Very disappointed knowingly we had booked for that time being Mother's Day weekend.
