The best part about this place is the location. Right on the lake, fab views, also decent price. But very, very noisy from the road. Room windows so badly insulated that even the sparrows chirping loud! Some simple maintenance would fix this.

Poor english communication from staff. Not very accommodating. Very transactional and does not want to understand their clients need.
Beautiful lakeside view.

Great location. Road noise was quite loud and people walking past at all hours. Also curtains pulled having a nap in the arvo and housekeeping bashes on the door then walks in, there was no do not disturb tag to hang on the door

Very near in the town

It’s near the central street and Lake Wakatipu. The view is so great. The main defect is it’s a little bit old hotel.
2.0
just one night stay. location is great. right in front of the lake wakatipu in QT. A small kitchenette comes handy to cook or warm up food. Water pressure is good. We stayed on the ground floor, so the window in the bathroom is not suitable to be open as motel's workers walk pass through the hallway frequently. No privacy.

Two power point sockets were loose and hanging - dangerous. Light bulb hanging out of socket. Toothbrush (not mine) left on floor under TV table. Windows covered in hand prints. Kitchen area smelt musty.

Although the property is looking a bit tired, it was clean and suitable for us. Great view of the lake and an easy walk to shops and dining options. I would stay here again.

This place just needs a bulldozer put though it.
Luckily the only clean things were the towels and the sheets.
Blood on the chair, hair in the shower. Only frosted glass in the bathrooms so the backpackers can basically see though. Woman turn the light off in the bathroom when you shower. Door to the communal deck broken so you had to lock it from the outside then pull shut. For $300 a night disgusting.
The timber doors etc dirty and kitchen from the 70s. One electrical cord not properly insulated so who know when the last fire and safety check was done.

Good Lake view even from ground floor.

My stay was excellent. I messed up and thought I had booked for 3 nights. Oops, only 2! They handled it very professionally and pleasantly. The location is perfect for wandering about town. Just park your car and leave it!

The only reaaon stay here because of Location, location is good ,clost to city and nice view , but room really need to upgrade, kitchen was old and dirty , bathroom had a smell , the most important thing was the lock didnt feel very secure.
2.5
Probably one of the better value for money places in town. The location is amazing with it being just a 100 meters from downtown. Ample parking onsite and large rooms. It's not flash but who needs that when what you are looking for is an amazing view and a comfy bed. Again....it's not flash but it is clean, friendly reception and it has killer viewsmn

This property is close to town which was very handy and the view was great. However, the kitchen area looked like a 1960s kitchen i.e very dated. Bathroom had a weird sour smell that didnt go away and was quite off-putting. Didnt feel very secure with the door locks either. Lighting at the back door at night was very poor. Smoke alarm was missing and was reported to reception who did not replace it. Surely illegal not to have smoke alarm in room.
2.0
Check in was good, it went down hill from there cleaning of the room could be better empty gin bottle left by last occupancy, had no TV due to no power cord, rang and asked as no one was on-site and was told a cord would be dropped off, it never happened, last time I will stay here.

Great to be beside the lake so close to town.

Stayed in October 2023. Very basic accommodation, had microwave, kettle, cooktop, but microwave was precariously placed in kitchenette. Our particular room was very close to the street and the footpath, the lock on the door was about the quality you’d except on a bathroom door in a house, really needs a deadlock or something. Very noisy. Blankets were not clean, overall cheap feel nothing in great condition.

Great Location

The location and view were superb, the only downside was that the balconies weren’t private ie one long undivided open balcony ran across the whole floor. The apartment though was lovely and the staff very helpful .

This property requires a makeover. The door to our unit was water damaged due to blocked drainage that needed repair. The ageing cooker was smelly and needed replacing. Single glazed windows did not keep out traffic noise. A floodlight designed to illuminate the building illuminated our room at night. Great location and lake views.
3.0
Most of it was ok but the structure is quite old and there are no stairs. There is no heatpump/AC unit but relies on an electric wall plug and warm blankets to keep the place warm. The views from the balcony are outstanding. Check out time is quite strict though (compared to others where it isnt an issue). I think if they spent some money on upgrades it would be well worth the money but at this stage i wouldnt recommend for the price.

I would like to give a huge thanks to the team at this motel.
This was a last minute booking, and when I arrived, they told me that they had tried to contact me to advise that they had no rooms.
While waiting outside, in the cold, they came and found me to advise that they had a sister site down the road, that they would find a room for me.
Turned out to be much bigger and right in the middle of town.
Thank you to the team at Lakeside Motel and Lofts Apartments. You saved me.

Great traditional breezblock Motel in great location and with gret views

Only a short walk from Queenstown center. Lake view even from the ground floor. Beds equipped with electric heaters. Electric heater on the wall will dry any clothes in minutes.
4.0
This place has everything you need for a short trip in my opinion, I liked having a fridge and a microwave and some cooking utensils, a proper bathroom door that has a lock, hot water, and the view was a bonus. The biggest downside for me was the room reeked of bleach (from being cleaned before us I'm assuming) and needed to be aired out for most of the day which isn't great in such cold weather but not a huge deal. No room service other than towel replacements but that isn't a priority for me.
