This is not an apartment, in fact it’s just a room with an attached bath which is fairly small but adequate. The amenities provided can be compared to a hotel room with an ensuite bath that’s comparable to a 4 star hotel. However there were no wine glasses,no iron and no microwave. Plenty of tea / coffeee.
A beautiful location with a great view of the Lake Wakitapu and the Remarkables. A nice window with bar stools kind of high chairs.
Just a travel tip.
For those without a car or those who choose not to drive their cars into town, you can use a the public bus which runs upto midnight. You should buy the ‘Go Card’ at the Adventure sports counter at the airport. The card costs AUD$5 and you can add cash onto the card. If you use the card on the bus, each trip costs you just 2$ as against paying for your trip on the bus in cash which will cost you $5.
Getting to the apartment from the airport
You can catch the bus at the airport in the direction of 1 Fernhill and get off after about 20 stops (40 mins) at Lordens Place. Then it’s just a 10 mins uphill climb from the bus stop to the apartment which is doable but tough if you have baggage.
Getting to the city centre
The bus from Lorden’s Place (1 Remarkables Park) takes you to Queenstown city centre; for which you have to get off at Queenstown ( Connells Mall / Camp Street ). There’s a bus practically every 12-15 mins.
The Glenorchy drive takes about 45 mins from the apartment.
There is free parking in the city centre in the evenings in certain car parks.
Overall , a.good location and well kept room.
