While the location is fantastic for walking to town and the hosts were excellent at answering any questions I had, I'm not sure if this place is really value for money. Unfortunately, the apartment is more tired and basic than retro and in desperate need of an upgrade. The bed and pillows were very old and uncomfortable which made sleeping very difficult. The apartment is also next to a main road which has a lot of traffic, including trucks going past throughout the night. Would highly recommend bringing ear plugs if staying here. Shower drainage was also very poor, the fridge thermostat was faulty and so loud I had to switch off the fridge at night to try and sleep. The lock on the balcony door is faulty and I came home from a day skiing to find the door wide open, which was a security risk.
If you are looking for somewhere cheap as a base for a trip to Queenstown, I think there are other places that are better value for money in Queenstown to stay.
