5.0 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (1003)
"This hotel is not located so close to the town but has access to the beautiful lakeside trail that you can easy 30min stroll to the town. Booked for “Hotel Room, Lake View” expecting a full undisrupted view of beautiful Lake Wakatipu, but was only a partial view as there was another building across our balcony, so was quite disappointed as I specifically chose this room over cheaper room just for that lake view prestige. Although the building doesn’t looks so old, noise seems to easily travel...
