Breathtaking views - beautiful apartment

The apartment was perfect for our stay - 6 adults. All the little details were very appreciated - even chocolates on our beds when we arrived! Perfect location for walking into the main town centre, unbelievable view of the lake and mountains.

Great central location and certainly beautiful views. Very comfortable. As the accommodation suits up to 6 people you will more than likely be in a car too big to park in allocated garage. We couldn't even access the garage - other guests couldn't close the doors. Other reviews have mentioned this so just be prepared to find alternative parking.

Great rental

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. It was spotless, well furnished and had the plushest, most comfortable bedding. The location is perfect for an easy 5 minute flat walk to town…no hills to climb. Our proprietor furnished shampoo, conditioner, body wash, laundry detergent, all kitchen accessories, coffee, tea, spices, etc. We loved our place and highly recommend it. Plus the view from the balconies was spectacular. Because of our length of stay, towels and bedding were changed halfway through our stay which was wonderful. I can’t say enough good about this rental. I will definitely stay again if I return to Queenstown.

Queenstown accommodation

The accommodation was on the smaller side for five adults, however the positioning was excellent in that we were walking distance to the city centre. This proved to be a real advantage as the garage was very small with a difficult access and as we were travelling in a van we were unable to make use of the garage. The instructions as to the whereabouts of the garage in relation to the apartment were a bit confusing as the garage was at the opposite end of the complex to the unit. Overall, we were happy with the accommodation, clean and suited our purposes. .

Great apartment in perfect location

We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was clean and the linens were nice. Beds were comfy. The two negatives I have are that the heat was very difficult to manage, this wouldn't have been a problem except it was very cold out. There was NO heat in the bathrooms, the little space heaters did not work, and the heat in the bedrooms turned off automatically after a time period of an hour or so. But the big disadvantage was the parking. There is zero chance of finding offsite parking and the access to the garage was so narrow we damaged our vehicle trying to get into the alley behind the apartments. I didn't read the advisory we got from the managment company so it was my fault, but there should be a way to find this out ahead of time and secure offsite parking.
