We had room #3A which was the top floor with a large balcony, incredible views of the lake and The Remarkable’s mountain range. We loved Queenstown, great town with lots to do and see. The hotel was super convenient and nicely stocked with everything you need. We had great happy hours on the patio:deck.

The property is beautifully located. However, the staff is non responsive. Despite my daily requests to add shampoo (my only request during the stay), it was not provided. The shampoo bottles stayed empty until the end.

Good location, very convenient to walk to town centre. It would be nice if there are additional basic items such as salad bowl, non-stick pan and a bottle of diswashing liquid. Otherwise, it is a very nice apartment with good laundry facility.

Great location and comfortable apartment with stunning views. Two bedroom, one double and one king. Two bathrooms, a kitchen and living room space. Two minute walk to the centre of Queenstown.
Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023

Nice and big apartment, close walking to all the restaurants and bars. Only downfall being on the first floor is if a van parked outside you lost part of the view other than that if we are in Queenstown again we will definitely be staying at the Waterfront again.

Really good location. The front desk staff was helpful. The apartment is a little dated, and I don't think the carpet was particularly clean. Otherwise spacious and comfortable stay.
