Highview Queenstown Apartments

Good modern design, with all the amenities you'd expect. Parking may be a bit tricky if all rooms are occupied, and ensuring you get a room on level 2 should you have any disability or difficulties getting up and down stairs. The bathrooms have heated floors which are much welcome in winter, but the overhead shower water temperature is difficult to maintain, best to use the smaller shower head.

Awesome apartments close to Queenstown. We parked the car and walked everywhere. Apartment complex had everything you need from coffee machine to gym. Worth booking a room with a view.

We stayed at their 1 Bedroom Apartment for 4 days and the room balcony lake/mountain views were by far the best we could find in Queenstown.The hotel is situated further and higher than most other hotels, hence the views from the rooms are uninterrupted and better than other hotels that are near the main city center.The room was spacious and House Keeping was done at our request. We had asked for trash cleaning to be done on a daily basis and the hotel obliged. The kitchen is well equipped and the room has a gas heater as well. The toiletries here were much better than the ones we've used in other hotels so far.Among the negatives were:1. Parking is limited and if you arrive late, then you could have to park on the streets.2. There isn't sufficient lighting in the room3. The room gets stuffy at night due to lack of ventilation/AC. Opening the windows at night is not an option due to the bugs outside.Overall, the hotel is a really good place to stay at Queenstown for the amazing views it has and the good quality rooms.

How wrong you can be. Contacted the hotel directly instead of through Expedia and explained more fully the situation. They couldn't be ore helpful, really appreciate the extra mile.Beware cancellation charges.We didn't get to travel due to severe flooding in Auckland. The hotel retained $260 from the booking so I would recomend booking with a more understanding company. Very disapointed and won't be booking again.

The best thing about Highview is the view. It is perfectly located on the lower hills just to the south-west of the town centre offering views across the lake and The Remarkables that are quite simply stunning. I spent much of our time when we were in the room sitting out on the spacious furnished balcony just soaking up the morning or evening landscape. I couldn't get enough of it!We booked a Lake View 1 Bedroom Apartment for our three-night stay, and I think it would be hard to make a better choice. The apartment was spacious, well laid out, modern and clean, and had a terrific bathroom. Everything was comfortable, and it was well equipped with all you might need during your stay. There is no daily servicing of the room, but whenever we needed anything the room maids were only too happy to help.It's an easy downhill walk of 800-1,000m to town, about a 15-minute stroll. Coming back up is a little harder, but if you are feeling lazy there is a great work-around pointed out by another reviewer. Walk along the waterfront to Rydges Hotel: cross the lobby and take an elevator to the 6th floor, then walk into the QT Hotel section and take the QT elevators to the 8th floor; from here you exit via the QT Hotel lobby onto Thompson Street and are only half a block away from Highview.Highly recommended

Pros: quiet location past busy Queenstown, beautiful view of town and Lake Wakatipu, 10 mins walk into town, staff very friendlyCons: no conditioner provided (only 2-in-1 shampoo & conditioner - shower gel also provided but no lotion or shower cap), toilet makes running noises when someone from other floors use their bathroom (doesn't happen at night when everyone is sleeping), shower temperature fluctuates (almost got scalded each time I showered), need to pay for extra coffee pods (instant coffee provided for free), milk only in pods, would be nice if a little more was provided (was told I had to I go buy my own)Consensus: would risk the shower scalds and stay here again because the views are amazing and it's quieter than staying in town - I'll just need to bring my own conditioner, coffee pods and milk! But please fix the plumbing!

Awesome friendly service, great communication and they really go out of their way to put their customers first. The lake view one-bedroom apartment is fantastic and well worth it. Good amount of space with an elevated view of the beautiful lake and a cosy gas fireplace. The bathroom and kitchen were modern and very clean. The free carparking is great but it gets full quickly as they are unassigned, so we have had to park on the street on some nights after coming back from dinner around 9pm. It would be great if there was access to the lake closer to Highview, e.g. stairs via another property, so we didn't have to walk all the way around to get to the bottom.
