The photo you see of the wooden chalet by the lake is the view *from* this apartment, not *of* it. Nevertheless, the apartment does have an amazing view. It has a superb location, perched atop a gentle hill just a few minutes walking distance from downtown.
The living area is very tastefully decorated, the kitchen is well-equipped, the beds are super comfortable, and the bathrooms have well-designed modern fixtures.
Everything about this place is fantastic, worthy of 5-stars... except one thing that is in fact a complete show-stopper. The internet speed always hovers around 2 mbps with the top speed I ever experienced in my 3-day stay being 6 mbps. This makes it unlivable. Whether you are an adventure vacationer trying to upload your photos and videos to social media, or an executive trying to get on a VC call, frustration is guaranteed.
This is a first-class place with third-class internet. For this reason, as much as I'd like to recommend this place for all its great qualities, I can only do so if you are among the 1% people in the world who don't care about internet access. For the rest of the 99% of you, I recommend ensuring that this issue has been taken care of, before booking this place.
My best to everyone including the property. Queenstown is an amazing place and you should not miss it.
