3.0 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (13)
"Overall good place but issues were as follows: - lockers in room were unusable as the beds backed onto the lockers so you couldn’t actually open the locker doors. This led to major storage issues in the 8 bed dorm and a rather cluttered room. - quite a walk into town compared with other places (I hurt my ankle on a trek though so may have felt longer than it actually was)"

5/5 Excellent
"Our studio unit has the lakeside view of Lake Wakatipu. It was very convenient to have a full kitchen and washer/dryer for our 4 nights stay. The place is very near and walkable to the Central Business District. Very quiet too."
