Very homey and very close to the city center. Okay

Kathleen New Zealand

Good property with excellent views of the lake,very close to town centre

Sri United Kingdom

Clean, large & modern. Great view from balcony

Michael New Zealand

Located about 10 mins from center of town on a ridge besides the lake (and hence with better views of the lake and mountains than from the lake shore). It is roomy and very well furnished.

Rrjini United States of America

Only a seven minute walk into town, albeit up a steep hill. Stunning views

Anonymous United Kingdom

This property was well setup for the traveling family. Truly a pleasure. We could see great care in setting up each detail to ensure the property and its assets were cared for. Down to the small details such as bedside cup mats to ensure drinks did not burn furniture. We really made sure we took care of this lovely apartment . Thank you so much for having us.

Fantastic view Under floor heating and glazing made the climate very comfortable Nice ambience from the gas fire

The facilities were good at this property but we really paid for the amazing view. That was worth a million bucks. We were so conveniently located close to everything also that we grew confident commuting around the town whenever we felt like it then escaping the business to our comfy little home for the time we were there.

Fontaine New Zealand

Located short walk from city centre it was ideal for going out for lunch and dinners to the fabulous restaurants we found in Queenstown. Views over lake provided constant changes of scenery and activity

    Many thanks for your enquiry All the apartments at LakeRidge Queenstown have 3 x king double beds (1 in each bedroom) Bedrooms 2 and 3 have splittable king beds, so we can make them up as 2 single beds if required Kind Regards From The Reservations Team

  • Is there a front apartment available for arrival June 29, depart July 7. There was 1 available yesterday, but nothing appears to be available today.
    Kia Ora, We have bookings in both of our front row apartments starting on the 6th July that have been in our system since the 7th November therefore we do not have availability for those dates I am afraid. Please let us know if we can assist with a slightly shorter stay or bookings in our standard lakeview apartments. Kind regards The Team at Staysouth
