Parking was right outside our room. We had a slight hiccup with our room. However the Manager Jackie was very quick to kindly move us to another room. Jackie went out of her way and nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely stay here again

A great place to stay in Queenstown. The motel was clean, comfortable, and well suited to a small country town. The room was warm and quiet, the bed was comfortable, and everything we needed was there. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the location was convenient for getting around town. Good value for money and a pleasant stay overall.

Nice place to stay if you're staying in the very quiet town of Queenstown. The room is spacious with a kitchenette and dining table, sofa, and large bed. Parking is right in front of your unit. Oddly, the restaurant is closed on the weekends.
