"Front office staff was attentive and available 24/7 for any needs. Grounds were clean, quiet, slightly removed from the main downtown of Queenstown but only a short drive away and it was nice to be on the other side away from the action a bit. Good if you’re looking for a little more privacy and relaxed pace. "
