“Magic view/ location, spacious & comfortable apartment, warm pool”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 March 2010

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment sitting just above the lake. The lake view and mountains were spectacular. Even though its a short walk to the centre of town, the location on a steep incline with surrounding vegetation meant it was remarkably quiet and private.

There was a well equipped kitchen, spacious lounge and bedrooms, and a balcony overlooking the lapping lake which was very pleasant accompanied with sunshine and a glass of wine.

The children spent time in the heated pool. The surrounding garden needed a bit of work. But the car enjoyed a garage. The free internet access was an added bonus.

This definitely falls into the luxury area of the market. Its not cheap, but the comfort it offers for the whole family was worth it. If we return to Queenstown, this is where we will be wanting to stay.

“Brilliant - a real home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2010

Stayed one week with 3 adults and 1 2 year old. The best equipped apartment I have ever stayed in with every kitchen instrument you could want, even your own outdoor bbq and patio, log burner, stereo, dvd, magazines. Fantastic luxury apartment but with a comfortable homely feel rather than the sterileness of most. Garage included. Definitely worth the price compared to others.

“Stunning views, lovely apartment”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2009

person found this review helpful

Stayed two nights and had a lovely comfortable unit. Well decorated and equipped, glorious views of the lake, clean and well maintained. More than we had hoped for. Perhaps a bit more pricey than many motels but we decided to pay a little more as we were here for two days and felt this was good value. Drive is steep and quite hard to manouever but just take it slowly. Did not realy encounter staff very much, service on check in was fine, Efficient rather than welcoming. Would recommend.

“Nice accommodation, but overrated on tripAdvisor”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2009

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 to the internet and little help was offered. We were attracted by the heated swimming pool, but found it's open only in summer.
We would return again, with more moderate expectations.

“Third stay at this wonderful place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2008

person found this review helpful

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 units are different. Each has a log burner, heaters, electric blankets so being cold will not be an issue. All apartments have fab views over lake Wakatipu and all our very very comfortable. It also gives us the choice to eat in instead of looking for somewhere to eat.

There is a heated pool, sauna, the driveway is heated in winter months to prevent it icing over. The driveway is steep, just takes a little skillfull driving to the garaging, we have a huge 4wd

Queenstown centre is a an easy 15 min walk along the lake side and through Jubilee park.

It is a great place to stay and I do not bother looking anywhere in QT for other accomodation, its a little expensive but two hotel rooms of equal standard would be the same and we would be separated, and another point, one of the local supermarkets provides online shopping and delivery, so you can have any essentials delivered.

  • Liked — good quality, views, pool
  • Disliked — nothing like it all
