Hubby and I stayed here for 3 nights. Paid more than other places in NZ but the apartment was truly stunning. Large lounge room and kitchen, well equipped. Large balcony with bifold doors which overlooked the lake. Good bedroom and small e suite bathroom. We loved having some space after a couple of weeks on the road and also loved... More

Thankyou for your review. Our apartments are well equipped and have stunning views. I apologise you found the room dusty and with dirty glasses. This should not occur. I have sent you a message separately to find out further information regarding your booking so I can investigate and discuss with the housekeeping manager.

Apartments very very well appointed with everything you'd need in the kitchen and bathroom. Lovely gas fire and electric blanket to keep you cosy. Very comfy beds and pillow.... More

Very good hotel. Lovely views from the 2 bedroom apartment of the lake, with balcony and lovely bifold doors. The apartments are well designed with easy access from the car park.

Mid May 2012 my brother and I (both adult children) had a spur of the moment thought to go to Queenstown to hit up the slopes. This then turned into a family holiday with our parents also wanting to come along. We were planning on going for a week at the end of July/first week August - thus peak season... More

We were in Queenstown for three nights and four days. Our room was room 200-something. What this meant was that after our shuttle backed down the steep driveway toward the reception, we had to go on the elevator to floor 1 to the car park.

Hello and thankyou for your review. Our property is terraced down the hillside rather than high-rise style. Thankfully the local council building requirements restricted high rise development. This means we are spread out. The special offer we have with the local bus service for return tips to/from Queenstown is well priced. The service operates every 15minutes during peak periods of...

Oaks Shore was a pleasure to stay, I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again when we return in winter 2015. It was close to transport and offered comfort and space for 5 adults. The walking track took you into Queenstown if you are keen enough. Overall excellent accomodation.
