⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Great communication from Manata from the initial booking to checking in. A great location just out of town to enjoy the beautiful views but close enough should you want to head into Queenstown. A short drive to local supermarket to make use of the great cooking facilities provided in the apartment. The onsite laundry was very handy as well. Would definitely recommend a stay here. The airport is not to far away as well."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Great location and enough space for 24 of us for a special celebration. Very comfortable beds and plenty of room in each guest bedroom. Didn’t use spa or oool as winter time but imagine it would be fantastic in summertime. Loved the fire in lounge. Thoroughly recommend it."
