Everything was new, clean and beautiful. We had access to a fully functional kitchen with everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable, the bathrooms were new and clean, and Victoria at the front desk was incredibly lovely and helpful. The view was stunning and proximity to all the amenities, but far away enough to enjoy the peace and quiet. Loved every minute of our stay.

The room itself was a fantastic find, a comfortable suite overlooking the lake with a fireplace and plenty of room for my family. As of my visit in December 2025, the campus is undergoing significant renovation, so the internal aesthetics aren't ideal, and it's not really easy to move around the complex, but that was only a minor inconvenience. The on-site breakfast is overpriced for what you get, but you can choose any number of other options within walking distance. The quality of the room and kindness of the service well outweighed those modest downsides.

Loved our room and view. Understand that there is a building programme but that really impacts access and parking. Great walk lakeside in to Queenstown. Shuttle takes away most of our transport issues during our stay.
