It’s in a beautiful but somewhat inconvenient location unless you have a car. Staff are spread thin. Long waits for check in and check out and they don’t always answer if you call etc… difficulty scheduling the shuttle, cleaning was ok but not great and while the suites are wonderful, the regular rooms are just ok.

The property is under construction. The entry to the property is a construction entrance. We received no advance warning of this situation and would not have stayed here if we knew in advance. Almost no parking available.

Gorgeous area, nice rooms. Under construction and horrible smell of sewage… transportation is also an issue and while they have a shuttle it isn’t ez to use or convenient— they are reluctant to give anccess to it and make it difficult to reserve and it must be reserved.

We were disappointed to find out that there was construction going on at the hotel. No noise but very inconvenient due to access to the hotel. No one informed us of this. We did receive an email asking for our bedding configuration, parking requirement and time of check in. We asked for parking spot as we had a hire car. We were told no spots available but no information was given to the accessibility of local parking to this hotel. Our room was near the fire escape and access to stair well to the front of hotel and the lake. This was inclined to be noisy. We just felt a discount could have been offered as it wasn’t a cheap hotel. We thought we were paying for a better experience.

Was not informed this was under construction. There was no parking, needed to park 10-15 min walk up steep hills and park on public road with no security. Room was small, no wardrobe even. Balcony was covered in bird poo (Which was only a meter away from the supposed kitchen. Overall very disappointing and I will not be back. Staff were uninterested and seemed sick of all the complaints.

Frauds

There was no clear warning about the extent of the renovations or that I needed to book parking in advance. It is imperative that the extent of the disruption caused by the renovations needs to be clearly advertised, the fact you have to park across the main road and in a side street on a steep hill is outrageous, you then have to cross one of the busiest roads in Queenstown and the walk down a steep unprotected walkway before you enter the hotel is also terrible not to mention dangerous, if it was wet or icy it would be so dangerous, what if I was mobility impaired or worse fully disabled, the fact that this was not clearly advertised when booking is very misleading. Out of principle for the dishonesty I would never recommend anyone stay at this hotel.
