The bed was super comfortable and had a great sleep however was a bit underwhelmed by the place. Room was quite small we could barely walk in it with our two suitcases, there were no outlets near the bed, and the fan in the bathroom was super loud but we couldn’t turn it off so had to keep the bathroom closed. First come first serve parking is not ideal as finding parking was a challenge offsite and we thought it was closer to the lake or had lake access and was instead a hill climb to and from town.

Great spot for an extended stay

Amazing stay & amazing location views. The room itself is a bit like a studio, with a foldable wall to close off the bedroom area. The apartment has a really nice living room with a fireplace, fridge, kitchen, washing machine all built into one.

The check in process was a little stressful as their office hours do not align with what I think would be needed for the area, considering it is a stopping point for many continued travelers, many of which have late arrivals, early departures, and/or tours. I was not given instruction on how my out of office hour check-in would be accommodated so I had to reach out during our travels to find out the process. Other than that, the place was relatively nice except there was a lack of flat surfaces to place our toiletries on in the washroom. There were also an extreme amount of dead bugs around the entry to the hallway but thankfully we didn't run into any live ones.

A clean and nicely decorated apartment with a great view of the lake! Walkable to the main parts of Queenstown but a little bit away from the busy main tourist area, which we preferred because it was quieter. We really enjoyed our stay there and would definitely stay again!

Clean & comfortable but our room was below ground level, no lift & 2 flights of steps. The room wasn’t serviced & the only way to wash your dishes was in the bathroom basin which we didn’t find acceptable. Location & parking great.

Highview Apartments abundantly validates its name. It is situated on a hillside overlooking the lake, with a splendid view of the lake as well as of the tourist center of Quennstown. The location, although within a 10-15 minute walk of shops and restaurants, is quiet and private. The corner unit that we occupied features a balcony conducive to viewing the lake while having lunch or dinner, and the interior is clean, bright, spacious and features a full kitchen. Stay was a pleasure.

Lovely view

Exceptional place to stay - room spacious and wonderful view of the lake. It has a steep hill to walk up from the town centre - but not bad. Did expect the rooms to be serviced for the price you pay to stay?

The property is 15 mins walk uphill from the Queenstown city center. Room is clean but no kitchen counter top to use with a microwave that is not working. The room is also pretty small. The bed is comfortable and shower is good. Ample towels and toilet paper for our stay. Parking is free which is a plus. Overall did not feel much different for a VIP access hotel.

We had a fantastic stay at a 1 bedroom Lakeview Apartment. Excellent place to watch the sunrise, the ever changing sky, mountains and even the NYE fireworks from the balcony. Staff were friendly and helpful. The carpark can be be busy when the property is full, similar to finding a car park anywhere in Queenstown at peak tourist times.
