Lakeside Motel

Only thing good was the location, right opposite the lake and only 2min walk into town, the room itself was ok size but the place was dirty rubbish under couches benches and between cupboards and shelves. Most of the crockery and utensils were dirty and needed washing before we used them, fry pan had oil and grease still in it. mould and dust around windows and doors, had access to the balcony but no seating. multiple damage to walls, one couch was broken and sank to the middle. no AC or fans, limited onsite parking

This was a last minute booking and a room was ready. Great views, hot shower, the tv worked. I could walk everywhere, it has onsite parking. The stairs could really do with some maintenance or even replaced with something safer.

Incredible view at a great price. Balcony was a bonus and eoukd be great in warmer weather. The bathroom was large and immaculatly clean. The kitchen was a bit tired but perfectly functional and there are so many options to eat out or grab a takeaway within easy walking distance it realky wasnt a problem. Perfect location for getting to all the attractions in town. Overall if youre on a budget and want yo spend your money on going places and dling things but would like a nice view and a comfy bed yo return too with no frills then this is the place for you. Late check in by lockbox was easy too. Staff were happy to accommodate this.

This property is close to town which was very handy and the view was great. However, the kitchen area looked like a 1960s kitchen i.e very dated. Bathroom had a weird sour smell that didnt go away and was quite off-putting. Didnt feel very secure with the door locks either. Lighting at the back door at night was very poor. Smoke alarm was missing and was reported to reception who did not replace it. Surely illegal not to have smoke alarm in room.

The location and view were superb, the only downside was that the balconies weren’t private ie one long undivided open balcony ran across the whole floor. The apartment though was lovely and the staff very helpful .

Most of it was ok but the structure is quite old and there are no stairs. There is no heatpump/AC unit but relies on an electric wall plug and warm blankets to keep the place warm. The views from the balcony are outstanding. Check out time is quite strict though (compared to others where it isnt an issue). I think if they spent some money on upgrades it would be well worth the money but at this stage i wouldnt recommend for the price.

The back stairs that lead to balcony rooms could do with more night time lighting and early checkout departure winter time otherwise an enjoyable stay walking distance to main center

Stayed in October 2023. Very basic accommodation, had microwave, kettle, cooktop, but microwave was precariously placed in kitchenette. Our particular room was very close to the street and the footpath, the lock on the door was about the quality you’d except on a bathroom door in a house, really needs a deadlock or something. Very noisy. Blankets were not clean, overall cheap feel nothing in great condition.

レイクビューの部屋は素晴らしい。素泊まりのみだが、ガスコンロ、電子レンジ、冷蔵庫、調理器具、食器完備。隣室からは朝食を作る良い匂いが漂ってきていた。 なお、空港送迎ありと記載があるが、問い合わせたところ提供していないとのこと。1番のバスでバス停からすぐなので特に不自由なし。 全体的に海の家に毛が生えた程度の作りなため、セキュリティには念のため自衛策を講じた方が良い。ベランダはフロア共通、部屋のドアは外廊下で誰でもアクセスできてしまう。ドアの鍵は押しボタン式の鍵一つでフロントも夜間は不在のようで少々不安だったためガスコンロでブロックして就寝した。

Excellent staff, Convenient location, jut 7 min walk to the city, Parking was great just outside the hotel. We cooked most of our meals here The overall hotel is a bit dated but it served our purpose cant complain. To the hotel management, please defrost the fridge, provide proper pots,pans and cutlery in your kitchen

Basic motel - a bit dated but it has everything you need, is clean and walkable to town. Staff are friendly. Have been there several times and will go again.

This place just needs a bulldozer put though it. Luckily the only clean things were the towels and the sheets. Blood on the chair, hair in the shower. Only frosted glass in the bathrooms so the backpackers can basically see though. Woman turn the light off in the bathroom when you shower. Door to the communal deck broken so you had to lock it from the outside then pull shut. For $300 a night disgusting. The timber doors etc dirty and kitchen from the 70s. One electrical cord not properly insulated so who know when the last fire and safety check was done.

Two power point sockets were loose and hanging - dangerous. Light bulb hanging out of socket. Toothbrush (not mine) left on floor under TV table. Windows covered in hand prints. Kitchen area smelt musty.

The room was clean, the staff very helpful and it was a great location.

The newly updated bathroom was very efficent and sparkeling clean. Overall the property is quite old and the exterior boarders on shabby. But the location can't be beat.

Location was excellent. A very old motel but the bedding and bathroom were clean, the kitchen very basic.

Big older style 2 bedroom apartment. Comfy beds and a lovely view but could be a bit cleaner. Very nice staff.

Great location and price but cleanliness needs improved.

Beautiful view of the lake.

Great location….easy walk to town. However the property is old and badly needs updating. Only a key lock on door….no deadbolt….room was very noisy due to proximity to street. Lost power in the room the morning of our departure.

The motel is a short walk from the centre of town and an even shorter walk from the lake. On the ground floor the view is blocked by a hedge so book an upper floor if you can. It is on a main road, an issue for a light sleeper like me but my husband was fine with it. All the other motels we used had a coffee press and we missed that

balcony offered great view The room was outdated cupboard doors didn’t close bit dirty

Older motel but great location! walking distance to town center and lots to see and places to eat. Great view of the lake, but not very private.. folks on sidewalk could see right into room

Hotel is older and facilities are a bit dated, but good-sized room (with a nice balcony overlooking the lake) and clean. Very pricy, but that should be expected for Queenstown during the Christmas season. Excellent location across the street from the lake and short walk to central Queenstown.

The location and view were superb, the only downside was that the balconies weren’t private ie one long undivided open balcony ran across the whole floor. The apartment though was lovely and the staff very helpful .

The best part about this place is the location. Right on the lake, fab views, also decent price. But very, very noisy from the road. Room windows so badly insulated that even the sparrows chirping loud! Some simple maintenance would fix this.

Balcony had the best view!

Very cold room so need the heater on all night as no extra blankets. No toiletries provided so make sure you have your own. Despite being opposite the lake and in a prime location its very noisey with foot traffic and vehicles from 6.00am.

Nobody at reception, rooms not ready. Very untidy. Didn’t stay Need refund

Keep your expectations realistic and you won’t be disappointed. It’s an older property and in a state of disrepair. It could definitely benefit from a major renovation. Kitchen is a bit primitive, bathroom ceiling could use some work. However, you can’t beat the location and the view. Comfortable bed and great staff. I’d stay here again despite the rustic qualities.

Not worth your money. Staff lack communication skills - very poor english. Mould in bedroom, no hot water for our stay- went to/ contacted administration multiple times to address the hot water need in winter, to no avail.

After a long trip, we arrived 1.5 hours early. We asked if it was possible to check in early because we needed to use to restroom. We were informed we could not check in early, yet the young woman at the front desk asked if we would like to complete the paperwork for our room, while we were there. We did so. We asked if there was any way we could use a restroom, we were told no. We asked if she could point us in a direction for the closest restroom available. She said back in town. We ended up back in town at a restaurant to use a restroom. That night when walking the park across the street from the hotel, we found a restroom approximately 2.5 blocks from the hotel, when walking across the street and to the right. Much closer than walking back to the town area. Also, the doorknob to the door entering into the hotel room kitchenette was almost completely disassembled. Because of the tumbler for the key just turned and turned. Because of the helpfulness, poor professional interaction with the desk clerk, and her less than helpful personality, I took a knife from the unit's kitchenette and screwed the screws holding the doorknob back together so we could use the doorknob to access the hotel room again. I would not stay at this location again or recommend this hotel to another person due to the overpriced cost to purchase a room during the holidays, the condition of the property, and the lack of professional interaction with hotel staff.

I would like to give a huge thanks to the team at this motel. This was a last minute booking, and when I arrived, they told me that they had tried to contact me to advise that they had no rooms. While waiting outside, in the cold, they came and found me to advise that they had a sister site down the road, that they would find a room for me. Turned out to be much bigger and right in the middle of town. Thank you to the team at Lakeside Motel and Lofts Apartments. You saved me.

Was convenient place for me to travel on for work. Quick check in an was welcomed with a smile.

Walking distance to all we wanted.

Close to town awesome views of lake whakatipu

beautiful view and close to shops.

Great accommodation looking over the lake. Easy walk into town for cafes, restaurants, and activities such as the gondola and boat cruises on the lake

Proximity to city centre was a BIG plus. Views from the neat room, balcony, helpful staff. Everything was good. Thanks. We had a great stay.

Location was excellent. A very old motel but the bedding and bathroom were clean, the kitchen very basic.

Great to be beside the lake so close to town.

Nice location.
