Wotif Verified Review
5 / 5
Hotel was surprisingly nice. We had a studio apartment with a washer and dryer. That came in handy for our extended trip. Location was very convenient to the city and all the activities and dining. The only opportunity for improvement is that the mounted soap dispenser was adjacent to the electrical outlet. I could not use the plug along with my adaptor. Considering Queenstown is a tourist town and many people use adapters, they really need to reposition their soap dispenser by an inch or so.
