9/10 Wonderful! (850 reviews)

Spacious accommodation (we had a 2-bedroom apartment), super comfortable beds, and the most incredible water pressure in the shower! Full size fridge, well equipped kitchen. Stunning views. Nice hot tub & sauna. Convenient indoor parking in a private garage adjacent to the apartment. Very friendly & helpful staff. Location is a little bit outside town but easily walkable. We had a fantastic stay. Highly recommend!

8/10 Very good! (555 reviews)

Great stay for the price. Very close to Coronet Peak for skiing and sightseeing. One complaint I have is we bought food outside but it got cold real quick, so we wanted to heat it up. There was no microwave in the room so we asked staff to help in the reception. They declined saying they don't have a microwave either. I think customer service could be improved. We had to go door to door to about four cafes and shops and finally found one. They provided water from a tap outside so I went to fill the water instead of filling from my bathroom tap, but their water was empty 4 times in 5 days of stay. An indian looking lady was generous to fill my bottle from the kitchen. No complaints on the room, bed, bathroom. It was clean. I would book again given the proximity to Coronet Peak.
