Poor english communication from staff. Not very accommodating. Very transactional and does not want to understand their clients need. Beautiful lakeside view. Walking distance to city centre. Highly recommended in terms of location and accessibility.

Quick stay in QT
just one night stay. location is great. right in front of the lake wakatipu in QT. A small kitchenette comes handy to cook or warm up food. Water pressure is good. We stayed on the ground floor, so the window in the bathroom is not suitable to be open as motel's workers walk pass through the hallway frequently. No privacy.

Two power point sockets were loose and hanging - dangerous. Light bulb hanging out of socket. Toothbrush (not mine) left on floor under TV table. Windows covered in hand prints. Kitchen area smelt musty.

This place just needs a bulldozer put though it. Luckily the only clean things were the towels and the sheets. Blood on the chair, hair in the shower. Only frosted glass in the bathrooms so the backpackers can basically see though. Woman turn the light off in the bathroom when you shower. Door to the communal deck broken so you had to lock it from the outside then pull shut. For $300 a night disgusting. The timber doors etc dirty and kitchen from the 70s. One electrical cord not properly insulated so who know when the last fire and safety check was done.

Simple but covered all bases
Probably one of the better value for money places in town. The location is amazing with it being just a 100 meters from downtown. Ample parking onsite and large rooms. It's not flash but who needs that when what you are looking for is an amazing view and a comfy bed. Again....it's not flash but it is clean, friendly reception and it has killer viewsmn

This property is close to town which was very handy and the view was great. However, the kitchen area looked like a 1960s kitchen i.e very dated. Bathroom had a weird sour smell that didnt go away and was quite off-putting. Didnt feel very secure with the door locks either. Lighting at the back door at night was very poor. Smoke alarm was missing and was reported to reception who did not replace it. Surely illegal not to have smoke alarm in room.
