Amazing views from apartment. Massive balcony and apartment itself. Was surprised how big the room was. Didn't understand what some people were talking about the service, I found the service to be nothing but pleasant and helpful. Bus stop right out the front which is good because the town is about a 45min walk. Overall extremely happy with my 2... More

Firstly the view from our balcony was amazing! We only got a hotel room which was quite nice but if your staying for longer than 4 or 5 days then I'd recommend upgrading to an apartment. The service was good but nothing flash. BBQ area was nice & kept very clean & was great to go out to for a... More

So my tour members were quite tired with long rides and this place was so perfect for our 2 nights stay. I could finished all laundry with the washing machines and seperate... More

A friend and I booked a hotel room for our 12 day stay in Queenstown and were very pleased that we could see the lake from our room and even had a small balcony!We had two single beds and really,for us,the room was plently big enough. The kitchenette is very basic and only includes a toaster and kettle. Some of... More

We stayed here as part of our Honeymoon, and WOW what a place! The location is just spectacular overlooking the lake and mountains. Our room was simply wonderful, it totally made our holiday, beautiful views, spotlessly clean and spacious, with every amenity available (including a kitchen area, and a log fire). The staff were so friendly and accomodating, and it... More

Recently stayed at Oaks Shores with my wife for 5 nights. Upon arrival the man on the front desk set the tone for the rest of our stay - he was completely disinterested. We stayed in a hotel room - this came with 'tea and coffee' making facilities. There was a small bar fridge, and toaster. If you wanted to... More

Pros: beautiful view, plenty of space in the two bedroom apartment, laundry, and Jack, who works in the bar and restaurant. Cons: poor service. We stayed here for 5 nights. The second day housekeeping did nothing more than make the bed. The bathrooms did not appear cleaned, towels unchanged, and the dirty dishes left in the sink. The bed linens... More

We booked the 4 bedroom penthouse expecting it to be spread across the top of the apartments as most penthouses are - very disappointed to find it was actually 2 x 2 bedroom apartments with an interconnecting door on two different levels!! Whilst the views were spectacular the configuration split the group up (3 families). The 2 bedrooms on top... More
