This place has great views across Lake Wakitipu and the Remarkables. It is a 20-25 minutes walk into town, otherwise about a 5-10 minute drive. The no. 11 (yellow) bus is another option on Frankton Road. Reception is open 9-5, but there is a resident manager onsite.

When you enter the property there is a sign that says "luxury apartments" - these may have been luxury apartments when they first opened but they are starting to show signs of wear and tear. The apartment I stayed in was nice enough and had cable TV with 50 channels. However the appliances were dated (and a bit smelly e.g dishwasher), carpet was worn in stairwells, light globes needed replacement and some basic utensils like a chopping board were missing. There was mould in the shower recess and some mirrors were not clean. The balcony was tiny and I did not feel safe on it. There was no internet access. Apartments are not serviced so you need to empty bins etc and keep place clean yourself. There is no restaurant on the premises. The apartments in the complex are staggered on a hillside. The roads leading to the apartments are very steep. Reception is located half way down the complex and not at the entrance which seemed strange. Walking up and down roads is perilous. There is no path with steps and railing, just the road, so in winter if the road surface freezes over if it's wet, it's quite slippery and dangerous.

I probably wouldn't stay here again unless some improvements were made. There are better properties to stay at offering the same views but better quality apartments and service.

We stayed here as a family of four in August. We had a hire car whch was very handy as there is no way we could've walked into town. Also having roof racks on the car meant we couldn't get into our allocated carpark which meant leaving it out overnight to frost up and have the windows covered in ice in the mornings. Found the reception helpful enough but they are only there during certain hours. They were not there on Saturday morning when we left even though it was during opening hours. We left the keys in the room and left. Found the accommodation nice enough, the heater in the childrens room didn't work without rattling, no way you could use it. Yes the walls are very thin, could hear the man next door snort and snore all night - not pleasant. The views are magnificent though, and laying in bed looking at the mountain covered in snow was wonderful. Very steep hill into the accommodation and quite trecherous getting in and out of the carpark. Not sure we would stay there again only because it's so far out of town for us.

This is one of the best apartments I have ever stayed in. Sure you can sometimes hear through the walls but take a look at the view. It is quiet at night, You will sleep well. The owner will help you with your luggage and anything else you need. I am hard to please but this is one I would recommend. I would stay there again.

Having spent many long hours reviewing apartments in Queenstown prior to our arrival, we were reasonably happy with our choice of BreakFree The Point for a 5 night stay for our family of four in a 2 bedroom apartment.
GOOD: fantastic views from large windows and small balcony over the lake to the Kelvin peninsular, reasonably spacious townhouse style apartment with undercover car parking. Well equipped kitchen, lounge had leather sofa and 2 chairs and a full size dining table to seat 6. Downstairs were two bedrooms, the main with a view over the lake. The apartment was serviced on the 3rd day of our stay. Although located on the low side of Frankton Road, traffic noise could not be heard in the apartment.
BAD: very steep driveways between the apartments to negotiate both by foot or in the car. You need to be very fit - no good for anyone infirm or with any disability. The apartment's balcony was disappointingly far oo small, could only seat 2 people and would have loved to have spent more time out there soaking in the sunshine and the views. Fairly expensive at $298 per night but maybe this is because of peak holiday time in Queenstown (Christmas to New Year). Too far to walk to Queenstown but not a problem if you have a car.
OVERALL: not quite as plush as we had hoped, but still worthy of being rated as a 4 star apartment and the uninterrupted 180 degree lake views made up for those things that did disappoint. If only that balcony had been twice the size it was!!!
