Wakatipu View Apartments is about 5 - 7-mins walk to Queenstown CBD. It has one car space right at the front door. Its suitable for max 4 people. The two bedrooms down stair are small, not enough walking space for opening a big/medium suitcase. The lounge and kitchen are upstairs where you can enjoy a beautiful mountain from the lounge balcony. The staircase is narrow. The Kitchen appliances are limited but functional. The two sofas look tired, if they can’t be replaced, get new covers at least. I used the bed throws to cover them.
Booking and communication was smooth. Checking in was the opposite – the apartment was uncleaned from the previous guests. Host was informed but unable to come, the reason given was the cleaner was not contactable. The host doesn’t have a backup plan or a systematic ensuring the apartment is ready for checking in. We were exhausted from a long drive from Franz Josef to Queenstown, at 7:00pm we were sitting in the car searching for the accommodation and unfortunately nothing was available for my family on that night. I had no choice but clean-up using whatever available within the apartment, we used our neck rolls as pillows. The cleaner turned up the next day, they apologized sincerely and insisting on giving us an envelope for coffee. The host refunded the first night. I couldn’t tell where the root cause is originated but it’s definitely not something I want to experience on the holiday.
Not impressed!!
