Spacious apartment overlooking the lake. Great spot close to Airport and retail shops in Frankton. The 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom apartment was excellent for our family holiday

Large and spacious rooms with all facilities

Pros: room are large and waterfront
Cons: hope can have fly-screen door in front.
Location: Location is nearby bus-stop, cross road there are fuel station, very easy to find the resort when we drive the rent car from airport.
The bedrooms were large and comfortable. The living room was spacious with a dining table, TV and sofas. The kitchen was fully equipped with all utensils and machinery present, such as microwave oven, stove, fridge, freezer, kettle and cutlery, and high quantity cookware.

Great accomodation for two couples!

We enjoyed our stay. It was clean, modern and perfect for us! It was a short walk to restaurants and shopping. The facilities were exactly what we needed.

Up the hill from town centre which was good as you were out of the hustle and bustle. Was relaxing to come back to. Loved the fireplace. Apartment was nicely furnished warm and cosy. Two separate bedrooms with bathrooms. We travelled with our teenaged son who could chill in his own space when he wanted to. Few minor maintenance issues which didn't affect stay. Good parking. We definitely would stay here again and would recommend to others.

Thanks for leaving a review. Sorry to hear you found the apartments cleaning not up to standard. This is unusual for us to receive this kind of feed back as we do have a great cleaning company that looks after our apartments. However we will send this report onto them. Thank you

Tidy large apartments on the lake.

Lovely clean and large apartments. A little out of town but close to the airport. Stunning appartments are well maintained. With lake access, some undercover car parking, laundry facilities and a bbq area nestled on the large. Like all the accomidation we stayed in in NZ there was not sharp knifes insight the chefs knife provided couldnt cut a tomato if its life depended on it. However as the apartments appear to be privativly owned and furnished it wasnt that big a deal. There didnt appear to be a way to lock the main door from the inside to stop kids getting out a simple chained would be ideal other then that not alot to complaint out.

Thanks for your feed back. We have just this week replaced all apartments with new self sharpening knife blocks complete with 6 steak knives. We apologise for the inconvenience of the poor knife quality. Thank you also for mentioning about the chain locks, we think this is a great idea and we will be making enquiries today about getting them put in place. We thank you again for choosing to stay with us. Kind regards The Element Escapes Team

Close to Queenstown

Pros: Location and space (we had a 1 year old with us who needed roaming space)
Cons: Only air conditioning in the main living area. 2 bedrooms had heaters,3rd had neither. No exhaust fans in bathrooms.
Location: Easy drive into Queenstown ( 5km - too far to walk). Great cafe nearby, "the Boatshed", only about 3 minutes walk.
Excellent communication from Elements regarding our stay. They had no staff on site, but were contactable if required and accommodated our requests. Rooms were clean and well located, with excellent views across lake to Remarkables. Some road noise in front bedrooms, but living/dining/kitchen area was perfect.
