This hotel features a hot tub, a ski drying room and shared lounge and laundry facilities. It’s interesting to sleep in such a famous place. Hotel is renovated and clean.

Ski storage facilities are available, along with ski equipment tuning and waxing tools. In-room continental can be delivered to the rooms each morning. One of the best accommodations we’ve ever stayed! The room was very spacious and comfy. The beds were extra comfortable so we could sleep in all day long! The hosts were so kind and friendly. The laundry facility also helped a lot!

Housed in a building dating from 2019, this apartment is 19 km from Lake Wakatipu and 21 km from Skippers Canyon. The property is non-smoking and is set 14 km from Queenstown Event Centre. Away from the traffic and crowds of Queenstown but close enough for groceries or a visit. Super convenient for visiting Arrowtown. Couple of dining options within walking distance. Jennifer (host) is friendly and accommodating. She provided clear directions for the apartment, easy to check in and out. Beautiful apartment with plenty of space to spread out. The bed was the best we've had during our trip, we slept well. Great bathroom, kitchen, spacious living area and outdoor patio seating. The washer/dryer came in handy too. We actually cooked two meals in and ate at two of the walkable restaurants nearby. We wouldn't hesitate to book again, we couldn't have enjoyed it more.
