"Great stay. Really lovely service and buffet breakfast. Room was nice and clean. We stayed in the Remarkables View King room, and whilst the view in the distance was amazing, you do look down onto another building, an empty pool, carpark and unfortunately they were doing some renovations during our stay so the big white covered structure was a bit of an eye sore from our rather pricey room."

"We booked a family ensuite room at what we thought was a hostel for our one night in Queenstown not expecting much, and were very pleasantly surprised at how comfortable, clean, and just generally nice the room was. It happened to be the night that the World Cup semi final was on at 7 AM, but we couldn't get it on the TV in our room. The lovely lady at reception had no idea how to fix that, but found us another, empty room where we could watch the important game, which was absolutely above and beyond. Would return here in a heartbeat. (Also, even though we arrived about 10 PM, we were able to park almost right outside our room, in the height of ski season.)"
