This was a delightful place to stay. The unit is light and spacious, with very pleasant (and private) outlooks, one across to the lake, the other to the courtyard and spa pool. The interior layout is sensible and attractive, with all the essentials well positioned. The bed’s really comfortable, and the table and chairs are a decent size for breakfasting or whatever. The bathroom is excellent, in particular the shower. All in all, a very easy place to be and enjoy.
Kathy was always helpful beforehand, and quickly replied to our preliminary enquiries.
The traffic is fairly constant for much of the day, as we had expected, but we didn’t find it too intrusive from inside the building (and we’re from a rural property, so are normally used to peace and quiet). It’s fairly noisy when sitting on the front deck of course, but the view’s lovely and one can “switch off”.
We had a car, but also wanted to try out the new bus service. It’s great, and you can forget the frustrating traffic and parking hassles of getting to Queenstown if you use it. The ORC website - which Kathy will direct you to if asked - has all the information you need. Get off in the centre of Queenstown (or wherever else you want to go), and do the opposite for the return journey. Easy - relaxing and interesting too!
So taking everything into consideration, this was a great choice for our stay. We’d read the reviews beforehand, and to those few visitors who have left negative and niggly comments over past months, I’d say the “problems” you experienced are of your own making, and you should have just read (and followed!) Kathy’s information beforehand.
