Apartments in Otago, New Zealand

The room was incredibly spacious and even had a microwave, which was great for heating up food purchased from the supermarket. It also boasted a large balcony with fantastic lake views. The only thing to be aware of is the steep uphill walk from town to the hotel, which could be a bit slippery in winter. Overall, it offers excellent value for money and a prime location.

We stayed at this hotel apartment for three nights during our South Island road trip in Queenstown. The two-bedroom, two-living room lake-view apartment (with two separate bathrooms) was excellent! Make sure to choose a unit on the 4th or 5th floor, as the 3rd floor's lake view might be partially obstructed by other buildings. The kitchen is fully equipped (though you'll need to bring your own seasonings). On the evening of April 18th, we were able to see both the aurora and the Milky Way right from our room's balcony – no need to go out and brave the cold, which was absolutely amazing and so worth it! The hotel parking was also very convenient; we paid 45 NZD for three days. However, it might be inconvenient if you don't have a car, as the hotel is located in a lower area off the main road, and the front desk is a bit of a walk from the other two apartment buildings. It's about 2.5 kilometers from Queenstown center.

Really nice looking room and a very good price performance ratio. And you even get a complimentary drink. Room was nice and warm upon arrival. I didnt really understand the self checkin for a second, cause i didnt know the rooms were directly at the parkinglot, where the whiteboards and the name are written. Really easy and useful for a fast checkin and checkout. I would stay there again.

This hotel is a 10-15 minute walk from Queenstown center, offering a quiet escape while still being close to the action. Parking costs 10 NZD per day, which is worth it for the security. The hardware is top-notch, definitely boutique hotel quality. Breakfast is included and conveniently placed in the fridge and minibar area for self-service. The 'only' lake view is across a road from the lake, but the window view is still stunning enough.

Walked out onto the balcony and we were met with these stunning views. The time that we visited (May) meant that it was slightly too cold to be out on the balcony for too long, but the views that we enjoyed out of the window were magnificent. When the first arrived the lady on the front desk was very friendly, and helpful. We had asked for a double bed and had been allocated two single beds. She quickly contacted the ladies from house keeping and they very kindly sprung into action to help rectify the situation. The housekeeping staff were nice and pleasant, and the location was just right for us to get out and about visiting some of the local attractions like the Kiwi birdlife park. The big plus about staying at the highview apartments was having a parking space. When you visit queenstown you'll soon find out that in some places finding a parking space is like gold dust.

This hotel in Wanaka has very new and well-maintained rooms. They're bright with great views of the surrounding scenery. The service details are excellent; they confirmed my needs before check-in and proactively asked if I needed any assistance during my stay. Overall, a great experience.

I was very satisfied with the hotel. It's about a 15-minute walk from the airport, and there's a New World supermarket on the way where you can buy groceries and cook. The hotel provides all cooking utensils, including pots, pans, an oven, and a microwave. The free washer and dryer were a great bonus, and the room was very spacious – a one-bedroom apartment with a living room, bathroom, and balcony. Everything was perfect, except for some construction noise starting around 8 AM from next door.

We were in the“Seabreaze“ apt, which was very clean and had the exact great views over the beach as described. The bed was comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our breakfast. While it was cold outside, the heating inside kept us warm and cozy. Parking in the garage underneath, or right beside the building for a larger car. Important to mention the Italian restaurant just 100m away at the corner, which is our absolute favourite when coming to Dunedin! We highly recommend staying at the Esplanade Apartments and will book again in the future.

We LOVED this accommodation!  It was at a great location, walking distance to nearby cafe and the Hilton restaurant - which was amazing for sunset drinks overlooking the gorgeous lake and snow capped mountains.  It was close enough to the bustle of Queenstown but far enough away to relax and enjoy the surroundings.  The host was friendly and welcoming and provided really useful information that assisted our stay.  Self - paid car parking walking distance. Other dining options in the immediate area were limited but we had food delivered easily. Thank you!

All good. Mayb we do not familiar with the dryer. So after washing the clothes still wet.🤣 Other challenges would be driving at a quite steep access road to parking and move our luggage. For families with elderly, it is recommended to request owner to provide one floor instead with stairs room stay as will make elderly have leg issue some difficulties.
