The hotel offers fresh, modern rooms with thoughtful amenities, but a late-night disturbance affected the experience. The terrace overlooking the lake and a spacious balcony were highlights, along with the bathroom featuring heated floors and a towel rack. However, the late-night disturbance was a setback during the stay.

I stayed at the hotel, located just a short walk from the main building. The rooms, though needing refurbishment, were spacious. The service was exceptional, with staff always ready to assist with anything you needed. The location, hidden on the lakefront of Wakatipu, was perfect for privacy and stunning views.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were dark and dated, the stunning Remarkable mountain view from the deck was a highlight, perfect for group stays. The lack of double panes was a downside. The service was exceptional, especially in organizing outdoor activities and local recommendations, but the dining was subpar with slow service. The location overlooking the lake was superb, with easy access to tourist activities and adventure sports.

The hotel rooms are amazing, equipped with modern amenities like a telly, SkyTV, and Netflix for some downtime. However, the booking reference to Attica Bar not having a mountain view can be misleading. The service is consistently friendly and professional. The location, right on the waterfront in the heart of Queenstown, offers privacy and stunning views. The dining experience, especially the poached eggs, was brilliant. Overall, a prime location with top-notch service and dining.
