Property was up to standard. Little noisy but to be expected near main road. Small issue with water but resolved and made it up by giving us a late checkout.
Surprisingly large dbl story unit with view of Lake Tahoe. Largest twin room we had on our drive from aukland to Queenstown. Very refreshing to have all the space.
Nice enough room, though you could hear noise through the walls at times..
Unit was slightly tired around the edges, with the odd edge showing bare mdf where paint had rubbed off
Enjoyed the spa bath, and the good sized bed

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Location is great but a bit noisy. The building is older and lacks soundproofing and is creaky. But still recommended.
We loved how clean the property was. Close by to all the amenities walkable distance. Amazing views. The only negative comment i would say is the stairs. The stairs were very steep. It would be difficult for elderly people going up and down the stairs as the rooms are upstairs. I had my toddler and i was continously worried just in case she fell down the stairs. A suggestion would be to have a protective gate or door of some sort for safety. Otherwise, everything else was amazing. Would definitely stay again :)
Excellent place to take your family, especially if you wanted to go fishing. The owner was very friendly and helpful.

Look it was a bed late at night to break our journey. We needed a bed from 11:30pm until we left before 10am in the morning. There were 5 of us so plenty of beds. Space was quiet and dark. Met our needs

Disliked: Cleanliness
Room was average, however the bathroom hadnt been cleaned properly in a long time. Hair around the edges of the floor that wasnt ours and mould in the shower. Cutlery provided was filthy and lipstick marks on glasses. We paid for an extra person and the pull out sofa bed was as hard as rocks
