Negative Reviews
negative:
Frustrating Wi-Fi and phone service
Along with the annoyance of potential charges, the Wi-Fi supplied by the accommodation was lambasted by most former visitors for its reliability and speed. In addition, it has also been noted that mobile phone signals can be unstable.
negative:
Location not ideal
According to overall opinion, and despite its apparently peaceful and secluded setting, the location of the lodge is not ideal in terms of its proximity to the town centre. The centre of Queenstown is some ten minutes away by car, while it has also been stated that there is a limited amount of shops, restaurants and attractions within walking distance.
negative:
Issues with parking
For those that visited in their own car, the accommodation's on-site parking was seen in a negative light at times. It has been claimed by former guests that the parking is tight, while there is also a supposed lack of spaces available.
