A must stay in Queenstown.

Beautiful location right on the lake, with the ski bus stop right in front of the hotel. There’s also a convenient shuttle service to town, or you can take a short Uber ride. The team provided excellent service, especially Fuka and Max who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We will definitely recommend this hotel.
