    The hotel was an excellent place for enjoying a peaceful area, just next door to Queenstown Event Centre and the waterfront and the lake and walking path. I liked the room with a beautiful view, the bed was comfy. The location was comfy and unbeatable, the staff was friendly.

    hot tub
    shared bathroom
    cold walk

    Amazing hot tub experience with great lake views.

    I stayed for two nights, and managing shared bathroom access with children was a hassle, especially during cold nights. The chilly walk to the facilities hub was uncomfortable, and the lack of extra maintenance for shared spaces often left the bathrooms less than inviting. Having to navigate the dark pathways.

    The views from the rooms are fine. Plus, the hot tub experience was a real highlight, especially since it was conveniently located right next to our unit.

    The shared bathrooms, while clean, can be a hassle for families, especially when kids wake up in the night. It can get a bit chilly walking in the dark, so you'll want to keep your robe handy. Some design flaws like the bedside reading light switches being at head height and the metal door heating up the room were a bit bothersome.

    panoramic views
    friendly staff
    tv placement
    lack of sheer curtains
    limited privacy

    The panoramic lake and mountain views were amazing. The studio was well-equipped, and everything was communicated clearly. The TV placement made movie watching a bit awkward, and the absence of sheer curtains reduced daytime comfort, restricting both light and privacy. Staff were responsive.

    What a fantastic spot! The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the cabins are warm and cozy. Loved the communal kitchen and game room. Staff were super friendly, and everything is spotless. Just a small trek to the bathroom outside, but it's totally worth it for such a lovely experience!

    amazing views
    super clean kitchen
    hot tub experience
    shared bathroom access

    Amazing lake views right from the room, and the hot tub was a great touch! The kitchen was super clean, awesome for convenient family meals. Outdoor dining with tables by the lake made for lovely evenings! (Definitely recommend.)

    The shared bathroom setup could be a bit challenging at night for kids, especially on colder evenings. A little more lighting along the paths could improve the experience.

    Family with children Paradise

    We had this great hot tub experience man, it was half price since we stayed there. Waking up to the fine view of the lake every morning. The shared bathrooms were super clean like you wouldn't believe, no waiting to get in which, trust me, when you got kids is a big deal.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but honestly it was worth it.
