Great apartment in a perfect location!

Absolutely great apartment! Exceptionally clean and well appointed. We stayed for a ski holiday, and the location was great for walking to shops & dinner. The enclosed parking space and gear room with glove/boot dryer were very nice additions. You will not find a better location in Queenstown. We highly recommend this apartment!
