We made it clear we were coming from a noisy place before arrival and had had an active time so far on our trip so were looking forward to a relaxing a quiet stay, as per advertised.
Our first impression was a cold, damp and pungent apartment. The smell, we think, was due to it being unheated and left shut off for a while, the smell clung to the bedding which was thin / poor quality and didn’t make for a “cosy” stay, again as advertised.
The other major issue was the noise. You can hear people walking around above you very clearly so when they are doing DIY and hammering etc it travels through the building and doesn’t make a relaxing environment. On the last night we had to message at around 11pm as they had friends over and again could here them as if they were in the same room.
Other things to note:
- The water pressure is awful
- The shower door doesn’t shut properly
- The bathroom door isn’t fitted properly
- No outside light at the door to find the lock to open the door
- Tiled floor areas are freezing cold
- No small supplies in the kitchen like oil to cook with or a small milk for tea.
On the positive side this place had;
- Good view
- Well stocked kitchen utensils
- Netflix
- Good wifi strength
- Lots of storage
- Plenty of communication prior
- Good location to drive into Queenstown
Overall we were quite disappointed with our stay here. It didn’t feel it had value for money or was a super host status apartment which lead us to book.
We wouldn’t recommend until they fix some of the issues and unfortunately, this is our first ever negative review on here.
