We had an awesome time at this apartment! The location is great, about a 5min walk along the lake into the city centre. Ray was an excellent host and replied very quickly to any of our messages. We took up the free car offer and were pleased, the pickup is close to the airport and there is lots of on street parking. The apartment is tidy and quite spacious, with a lovely view of the lake! You can hear some of the noise from other rooms but it’s not bad (we barely noticed it). For skiing/snowboarding, you can get the hotel pickup bus from the hotel next door and go straight to and from the ski fields. We stayed for nearly a week and it proved to be a lovely base to explore Queenstown from!!
