Comfortable and convenient
We enjoyed a relaxing two night stay here. Our room was large and very comfortable. Nice amenities including snacks in the room, a breakfast bar (for an added fee), and full laundry facility. Friendly and helpful staff. The paid parking on the premises is highly recommended as street parking is not easy to find. The hotel location is extremely convenient- a short walk into the village.

An Interesting, Hotel with it's own sense of style
This is a good well located and reasonably priced hotel in Queenstown. But it is worth noting the hotel is a steep clime up from the lakeside and town. We booked parking which worked well. at the time we stayed there was no nearby on road parking.
The hotel and room decor is very style conscious and my wife loved it. I confess I was rather less convinced!
The staff that we met were universally friendly and helpful.
Overall a very good stay and we would not hesitate to use it again.

Great 3 days! Only thing that could possibly have been better was the morning coffee.
Great location and managers on site were very attentive. Happy hour was great as was the bottle of wine in the beginning to relieve the stress of our flight etc from Australia.
Highly recommend, and already thinking about coming back and spending a week there. Queenstown was great!

Absolutely beautiful little hotel within walking distance to restaurants and the water. Lovely staff and they even provided complimentary snacks and drinks (including a lolly bar!) and complimentary happy hour for all guests at 5pm each day. It’s little things like that that make it special and memorable. We’d happily stay here again.

Staff was friendly, helpful and lovely. Our room was quite large and included a bathtub which was great to soak in after a few weeks hiking. The decor is unique and vary fun. Away from the busy part of queens town but just a short walk 5 minutes to get to dining and shops.

Staff extremely polite and welcoming. There is a guest lounge which is very convenient if you arrive before you room is ready (mine was ready by 12 - I was very impressed). Rooms large and well equipped. About 5 mins walk from town. Would stay again.
