The location is excellent- the property itself is very old and rundown, but comfortable.
We regarded it like an old Kiwi bach (we are Kiwis) rustic, but comfortable in it's own way.
Reasonably priced for Queenstown!

Hotel is older and facilities are a bit dated, but good-sized room (with a nice balcony overlooking the lake) and clean. Very pricy, but that should be expected for Queenstown during the Christmas season. Excellent location across the street from the lake and short walk to central Queenstown.
