Apartments em Otago, New Zealand

The hotel was a little bit old and remote with the town center. We did not find the TV remote control at the arrival day and finally found the same under a bed. One rubbish bin was disappeared after the room service and my USB cable got stuck by the wheel under the bed.

We stayed here for just one night having left the dreadful accommodation in Haast that we were booked into. It was a lucky find as we had a large suite complete with lounge, dining area, kitchenette and washing machine & tumble drier neatly tucked into the bathroom. Although quite a big resort our rooms were quiet. There are plenty of facilities on site, but we didn't use any of them so cannot comment.

1. Location: It's convenient and great if you don't have a car as it's only 10 mins away from the city centre. There is a bus stop to go to the airport and city just next to the hotel. There's the Queenstown Trail track just down the road if you wish to have a pleasant walk along the lake. 2. Service: The guy who did our check-in did it like he was repeating a song that he was fed up with singing. Good for those in a hurry who like express check-in with 0 personalization or care but that was NOT a 5* check-in. 3. Room: Booked a standard room on Luxury Escapes, but I don't think the hotel should be on this ”high standard” booking platform. Our room was on the ground floor, so everybody could see us and our belongings. The room was old and small. We had very little room left being 2 people with 2 big luggages. One of the two glasses in the bathroom was still dirty from the previous guests. The blinds didn't work properly and we had to find tricks to close them so people wouldn't see us get changed or sleep! Your sleep might get disturbed if passersby are loud and drunk lol. The washing machine was literally just in front of our room door (a thin door) and woke us up super early one morning. The TV didn't work. Big lack of plugs outlets. Overall, if you're planning on spending the entire day outside and getting back to the room just for sleep then you're fine but don't expect anything fancy.

We were on the ground floor with a beautiful view of the mountains. Once the patio door was shut, couldn’t hear the helicopters nor planes. Given the airport is minutes away the lack of noise was great. Kitchen has a bar fridge, dishwasher, plates etc (however some was 2 of, 3 of or 4 of. Would have been better if all was 4 of so you didn’t have to wash every day), pots/pans, toaster, kettle and some tea/ coffee. Also a clothes washer with the right setting, is a dryer. Dining table room for 2 and 1 single lounge chair. Huge bed and good room for clothes. Bed was huge and comfortable. Floor width glass door/ window to balcony overlooking the mountains. Across the road the land is currently vacant so private and no car traffic. Bathroom is comfortable and great shower but no heated towel rail. It’s about a 5 minute walk to shops including a large supermarket and some food venues. There is a public bus service to Arrowtown or Queenstown but it’s very sporadic sadly and services are cancelled. But it took 18 minutes to get to Queenstown and cost $2/adult instead of a taxi at about $40! Room cleaning was sometimes very late in the day but it didn’t bother us as we actually didn’t need it. Parking is available out front but first in gets it. So during peak season I’d imagine it’s a problem. Overall: pros are comfortable with everything you would want, close to airport, quiet location, near supermarket. Cons: it’s a 15+ minute drive to Queenstown, no heated towel rack in bathroom and parking could be a problem.

Booked a 6 bdrm apartment, in one room we found a pair of disgusting slippers under the bed, a pair of socks left inside the wardrobe, and a bath towel hanging behind the door. Window latches gone off 2 windows and tv in second lounge didn't work. To their credit they did fix one window and taped the other shut - note, sellotape does not keep a window shut for long... There are also no plugs to any of the bathroom sinks - it's pretty disgusting brushing your teeth and looking down the sinkhole at previous guests hair :( We went for the 6 bdrm apartment so we could all be together (& also booked a 2 bdrm for extra family), I certainly paid a premium for this as we could have got a couple of 3 bdrm places for a lot less. I did expect it would be overall cleaner and nicer than what it actually was so was pretty disappointed. The bathroom items provided are basic and no facecloths provided. Only 2 dishwash cleans could be done with what was provided in kitchen. No coffee sachets except decaf, and while there was a hot choc tin, it was almost empty and I’m not using something that many others have stuck their hands in. The dining chairs fabric is disintegrating and bits of the white material end up all over the floor (we would have like to have vacuumed halfway thru our stay because of this but there was no vacuum cleaner or broom). Nowhere on their website (that I found) did it say the apartment was over 3 levels – something my 75 year old mother did struggle with a bit, again this would have been a flag for us. So overall, it was handy being together but the apartment seemed old and tired and really not worth the price we paid. I did email the place to relay all my concerns, they have chosen not to reply to me. I also see on their website they only have reviews that they have sourced from elsewhere (I can't leave this there direct) so they choose the good ones...

We were pleasantly surprised to find such beautiful accommodations in Dunedin but as usual using Tripadvisor’s suggestions, we thought we did very, very well. Beautifully appointed refurbished hotel with absolutely first class Fisher and Paykel appliances, a stunning view of downtown, and beautiful location right in the heart of the city. With an unmanned desk and everything conducted by text Internet or phone this location could be challenging for the not so savvy traveler, but we found it to be amazing. Probably the nicest hotel I have stayed in. Whoever developed this hotel has an extraordinary eye for design. Negotiating the no contact check in, the key card codes, and the adjacent carpark were all challenges, but with someone always available from a phone, this was accomplished. The very contemporary layout and color palette may not be too everyone’s taste, but we found it extraordinary and a rare find. We stayed in room 307 during shoulder season so heat was not an issue for us. Tip: if you are technologically challenged, this might not be your best bet since it is not traditional. If you are able to negotiate using a phone, text, etc., then you will probably be all right but our “no desk check-in”was rocky with information not gathered correctly, but after negotiating that we were more than pleasantly surprised by this extraordinary property. Certainly a pleasant surprise in a beautiful city.

Very close to the center, convenient transportation, great room facilities, public restaurant on the first floor, large, complete tableware, good boss, highly recommended

We were looking for a good 2 bedroom self catering cottage or apartment and were pretty staggered by the high prices for a five day stay in early March 2024. Eventually we found the Clearbrook Motel online and were pleased to snap up a two bedroom apartment because it had everything we wanted and offered more bang for our buck than alternatives we'd seen elsewhere. Having our own clothes washer and dryer was also very welcome. Price was not cheap but for this town it was very good value for money. Location is excellent with shops, restaurants and lake within 100 - 200 metres and we had a lovely view from our living room over a babbling brook and even snow capped mountains. Reception staff and cleaning staff were extremely nice, respectful and helpful.

The accommodation is very comfortable. You can directly see the beautiful lake view on the upper and lower floors. There are parking spaces, suitable for self-driving friends! It's easy to cook and travel, not far from the center of Queenstown! Personally highly recommended!

I would probably hesitate to recommend this place, as it still has a way to go with the small touches that make you overlook larger issues. We booked a one-bedroom apartment, and when we showed up, were given a one-ROOM studio with a door leading to kitchen and lounge facilities shared with six other studios. Absolutely not what we booked; we are not backpackers and would never book something with shared anything. To be fair to property, this appears to be a *********** error with the description rather than the property’s fault. And the lady at reception was genuinely lovely and helpful throughout our whole stay. That said, it was a bit grim. The studio was SMALL, and had a bar fridge - with the previous occupant’s half-eaten food still in it- (!!!!) that rattled and buzzed so much we turned it off. No space for anything but one small bag. We were then asked if we’d like to upgrade to the only remaining apartment; a two- bedroom affair that cost another 100 dollars. We chose yes, obviously. Much more spacious, but several issues. The living room had air con but was missing any blinds, and with sunset not till 9pm this time of year, the sun blared straight in and made the TV unwatchable till dark. An otherwise well-stocked full kitchen was missing oil, milk, cold water, any kind of water jug, and anything at all to clean with after cooking - the only cloths on the room were tea-towels. The listed washer and dryer were not present at all. All manageable till bedtime. The bedrooms - jeeeeeez. No air-con upstairs, and what feels like no insulation. I have a travel thermometer. The bedrooms were stuffy and hot as hell- 28 degrees celscius with no way to cool them down. No air-con, not even a standing fan. A tiny window that could only be opened a few centimetres. After several sleepless hours I went downstairs and tried to sleep on the couch in the living room. Which due to the missing blinds was lit up like a Christmas tree by the streetlight directly outside. I got three hours sleep. I appreciate that the property was trying to rectify an error not of their own making, but that townhouse was not ready for guests and we should not have been offered it until their furnishings and fittings were complete. BYO fan, I guess.

We stayed in Apartment 4 - family of 3 in a 2 bedroom penthouse with kitchen - arrived New Years eve 2023 for a week. All the apartments are different apparently. The location of this property is excellent. Just a stone's throw from the centre of town - 2-3 minute stroll. View was spectacular of the lake and mountains - clear view and no obstructions. Apartment 4 has been recently renovated. It was a spacious and comfortable apartment. Very clean. Carpet in great condition; kitchen well-appointed. Nice comfortable lounge and dining table/chairs. Beds and pillows were comfortable. Shower had great pressure and great heater in the bathroom. Staff were excellent and obliging. Very easy place to stay and no complaints. It's not cheap over the new year period, but nothing in Queenstown is. I recommend this property - apartment 4 anyway. Can't vouch for the other apartments. The big plus for this place is the view from the penthouse apartments - the higher you go, the better it is. Also the proximity to town - perfect. It is on the main road that passes through town, but the bedrooms are back off the road so traffic noise didn't really bother us. Lastly, it has a washing machine and dryer in the apartment which were great. Fridge and microwave. Car park downstairs (locked with code) and also out the front if you have a car. Very pleasant and comfortable stay at this property and we're quite fussy where we stay as a family. We expect everything to be pretty spot on and it was. Apartment 4 has no balcony but has 2 big sliding doors that open the living area right up to the outside breeze. Some apartments do have larger balconies that you can walk onto and sit out there. You should call them and ask to confirm what apartment has a balcony before you book if that's important to you. It didn't worry us at all.

The location is across the street from the center of Queenstown, and the last slope is here. Facilities are all complete, kitchenware, dishwasher, washer dryer. The hotel's requirements for guests are relatively comprehensive. There is an error in the translation of the instructions. If you lose the key, the English version will pay 30 yuan. The Chinese version will pay 50 yuan.

It's very convenient over there.

There were lots of great things about this place, and at the same time it's the strangest place I have stayed in! First the great things - immaculate, amazing bed and super amazing shower. Large room, All of that was perfect. Then the not so great - nothing in the room to read about where to go for food, whether any place might deliver, wanted to order breakfast and it didn't seem to be an option. Ended up googling, then not finding the place I was looking for in Mosgiel (maybe it's shut down? It was all dark) so was happy to find Countdown and a soup for dinner with some food for breakfast. Then the terrible - they say they are contactless, which is all fine in this new world. I didn't know this before I came. As a result I didn't see a soul and as a traveller from out of town who was on her own I felt a little unsafe at having no contact with anyone (even at a distance would have been OK!). It felt a bit post-apocalyptic. I was wondering if they are scared to see people! This is New Zealand and there is no COVID in the community, so it seemed a bit over the top. I had trouble locking the door (it's a European lock and the instructions weren't enough for me), so went looking for help. Rang the door bell. No reply (there was a car outside and the lights were on). Then saw a notice saying I should phone. Did that and the recorded message said no one was available to talk to me Then got a text saying ”Please text me”, did that saying I can't lock the door. No reply. I texted again asking if someone could please help me. Then I got a text back with better instructions which worked. That was the sum contact I had. If I had a serious problem would anyone have helped me? I didn't feel safe, as it felt like there was no one who would help out at all. In this regard I found the place quite unwelcoming. If they had reading material in the room with helpful info and including some warm and welcoming words, and so I could know that someone was there and actually cared, it would have helped a lot. I would have been quite happy not to see anyone, but to know they were there in the event of an emergency. So the summary - this was the most comfortable place I have stayed in for a long time. But as a single female traveller who needed some help with the room and a pointer as to where to get food on a winters night, I didn't feel safe.

I was here for two nights. Due to my plane arriving early, I had planned to leave my bags at reception and go off exploring until check-in time. I was very surprised and pleased that the girl in reception had managed to get my room ready early, so I was able to freshen up after the flight down. The girl at reception was also really knowledgeable about the area and was able to supply maps and offer advice re cafes to try. The room itself was middle of the range, but very clean and tidy and the shower pressure just amazing! Fully recommend this hotel for solo travellers, and business people sue to the central location.

The apartment was unable to move in after 8pm, and when we really couldn't get to the hotel before 8pm, the hotel asked us to arrive at the hotel before 10pm, but a late check-in fee of $30 would be charged. Said that if you still can't arrive before ten o'clock, there is no way to check in, and the room rate is non-refundable... So if you choose this hotel, you must be optimistic about the time! As for the room facilities, it is clean, and there are induction cookers, microwave ovens and tableware, so you can make simple meals by yourself

The apartment hotel is fully equipped with a full kitchen unit, duplex room, large space and self check-in. The location is super good and it is convenient to go anywhere. There is a parking space in the room outside the chapel, and other rooms need to solve the parking space themselves.

市中心八角廣場旁邊，陽台正對大教堂，景色無敵，去哪裡都很方便。室內佈置很温馨，有家的感覺，還提供了雞蛋、麪包、牛奶、現磨咖啡和酒，還有給孩子玩的各種桌面玩具，非常貼心！廚具齊備，我們在超市採購做了一頓晚餐，體驗很好！

就這個價格，除了地段符合，其他都偏高了

Very good location, quiet apartment, small and charming house. The facilities are convenient, the living room, kitchen and bedroom are separated, suitable for a family of three. For extra beds, you only need to set up a bed in the living room. The space is very spacious, although the kitchen is not suitable for Chinese cooking, simple breakfast, boiling and baking, and microwave heating are still acceptable. It's clean, the bedding is comfortable, and it's interesting to see the sea from the corner of the window. The room is very warm, so you don't have to worry about being cold. The bathing space is not big, but it's not cold either. The corner Italian restaurant is worth trying. The only small drawback is that the parking space is very crowded and SUVs tend to scratch the walls.
