I'd only read very positive reviews of Spinnaker on TripAdvisor so my expectations were high. They were mostly met. Great location, my family stayed in a spacious 3 bedroom apartment. The 5-star accommodation rating doesn't match with what 5-stars means in Austraila; the decor was quite dated and the kitchen utensils were minimal. Service was average, we had trouble connecting... more

This is our fourth stay at Spinnaker, we didnt want a hotel experience, been there done that. My children are early teens and wouldnt appreciate being cooped up in a hotel room. We have stayed in 2 of the three bedroom units and 2 of the two bed units. All have been furnished to the individual owners taste, so all... more

Stayed here in August for 2 weeks. We were two couples. Appartment was perfect, full kitchen/ laundry etc, plenty of space. The view was unbelievable, right on the lake. I would definitely stay here again, much better than an ordinary hotel. more

This was the perfect place to stay in a large group. Although compact the house felt spacious and gave people room to get away from one another. Although a little twee in decor everthing was wonderfully clean and comfortable and the kitchen really had everything one could need. The DVDs and music were a nice touch as was the log... more

Stayed in 3 units with 15 overseas visitors, couple managing these units very unfriendly and nearly spoilt New Zealand holiday, luckily beauty of Queenstown and friendliness of typical Kiwi made up. Good points: great view of Lake, large rooms, price paid had 30% discount due to very low occupancy, big TV and fireplace with plenty wood. Bad points: Managed by... more

We made a booking here for July 2005 for two nights. After finding cheaper accommodation elsewhere we cancelled our booking in April, 2005 (acknowledgement was received). Was disgusted to discover that they had used my credit card to charge us NZ$860 anyway. To make matters worse this charge was done in May, 2005 and we weren't even supposed to be... more

Having cut short an unsatisfactory stay at a competitor up the road, I chanced upon the Spinaker Bay apartments. Compared to where I'd been before it was like stepping out of a Holiday Inn to a St Regis. Good architecture, orientation, natural light and furnishing, with stunning views over the Frankton arm of lake Wakatipu. The secret I think is... more

We haven't even arrived at this property and we are already greatly disappointed. We rang to confirm our booking for this coming Sunday and were told that the price we were quoted (and the deposit we paid) was incorrect and we now owe them an extra $35 per night. We questioned this and were told that we must have stated... more

This was the perfect accomodation at this point in our trip. We were two families, one week into a two week holiday and Spinnaker Bay provided everything we needed, including a washer and dryer in our three bedroom unit. The furnishings were comfortable and top notch, and the kitchen was fully equipped. The view of the lake and the Remarkables... more
