We were disappointed to find out that there was construction going on at the hotel. No noise but very inconvenient due to access to the hotel. No one informed us of this. We did receive an email asking for our bedding configuration, parking requirement and time of check in. We asked for parking spot as we had a hire car. We were told no spots available but no information was given to the accessibility of local parking to this hotel. Our room was near the fire escape and access to stair well to the front of hotel and the lake. This was inclined to be noisy. We just felt a discount could have been offered as it wasn’t a cheap hotel. We thought we were paying for a better experience.

Was not informed this was under construction. There was no parking, needed to park 10-15 min walk up steep hills and park on public road with no security. Room was small, no wardrobe even. Balcony was covered in bird poo (Which was only a meter away from the supposed kitchen. Overall very disappointing and I will not be back. Staff were uninterested and seemed sick of all the complaints.

Frauds

There was no clear warning about the extent of the renovations or that I needed to book parking in advance. It is imperative that the extent of the disruption caused by the renovations needs to be clearly advertised, the fact you have to park across the main road and in a side street on a steep hill is outrageous, you then have to cross one of the busiest roads in Queenstown and the walk down a steep unprotected walkway before you enter the hotel is also terrible not to mention dangerous, if it was wet or icy it would be so dangerous, what if I was mobility impaired or worse fully disabled, the fact that this was not clearly advertised when booking is very misleading. Out of principle for the dishonesty I would never recommend anyone stay at this hotel.

Great option for Queenstown

The hotel has been recently refurbished to a very high standard. Apartments are spacious and comfortable. Our only gripe was that cleanliness could do with some improvement. The basics (e.g. toilets, sinks, kitchen bench etc) were all pristine, but the deeper cleaning had significant room for improvement. For example, the floors were sticky, and most of the window and mirrors had streaks, fingerprints etc.

I have regularly stayed at Oakshores in Queenstown since 2010 and it’s my No1 choice of where to stay in Queenstown . Apartments are very large and beautiful views of the lake and mountains . Our apartment was recently refurbished and it was very nice . The staff were exceptional especially with the check in . Nothing was too much trouble . There is currently some building works going on but our unit was very quiet and parking was provided on site .
