Guest Reviews
- Yan (10/5): 非常棒,甚至想多在皇后镇停留几天 - 很棒的酒店,窗外风景非常美。空间非常大,住着很顺心 住的4号公寓车位非常小,并且在坡上。租的suv停着非常不方便。
- QIN (10/5): 开心 - 环境优美,房间舒适,厨具丰富 洗衣机在卧室旁边,噪音比较大
- Jenny (9/5): Really enjoyed our stay Staff were very helpful Perfect place to base yourself to play golf - The outlook was beautiful
Coonara heater great
Beds very comfortable Parking
- Jill (9/5): -
- Yubei (10/5): Highly recommended for couples seeking romance, stunning views, and picture-perfect moments in Queenstown. - Booking Review
We had an elopement wedding in Queenstown and feel incredibly lucky to have stayed at Spinnaker Bay during our trip.
The lake and mountain views are absolutely breathtaking—we even got to see the Aurora Australis clearly on the night before our wedding! The stylishly designed rooms added a wonderful artistic touch to our wedding photos. As someone who doesn’t exercise much, the small slopes between the street and our room were a bit of a challenge. However, my husband was delighted with this daily “mandatory workout.”
- Rochelle (10/5): Beautiful views, stunning location - Location The work on the path meant we could not use it for some of our stay
- Susan and Anthony (10/5): Fantastic. A real home away from home. Loved looking out on to the lake and mountains form every rro - The view was amazing. I stood in the kitchen every day, distracted by what was in front of me.
The apartment was spacious, very comfortable. We liked not being in the town centre, but a 20 minute walk into town was lovely. The little “ extras”, like kitchen provisions, plenty of towels, bathroom provisions, electric blanket, heating everywhere, reallly made this place feel like a home away from home. Nothing. But if you have any physical challenges, this apartment may be challenging. There are 3 sets of stairs , which means carrying your luggage up. The driveway is also very steep, but we managed, so it was not a negative to us, just a consideration………
- Yujin (9/5): Good spot - The view and two bathrooms Staffs working time is too short
- Liz (8/5): Loved the location and outlook. Would definitely go back. - Loved the location and the view Loved everything except the beds. Quite uncomfortable
- Hui (9/5): -
- Escalona (8/5): -
- Kseisler (8/5): - The walking path to town was closed, I wish we would have known that when booking.
- Nicola (7/5): An amazing place to stay! - The location was amazing with fantastic views of Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables. Parking was a bit of a problem
- Robin (10/5): - Beautiful location, wonderful stay
- Angela (9/5): - View stunning, apartment a very generous size and well appointed.
Track by the lake closed due to waste water upgrades but no fault of the apartments as affects all properties.
Sophia was so welcoming on reception and looked after our bags till check in time and on day of check out. Nothing
- NANDITA , (8/5): Excellent location - Location and scenery from the window Stairs, parking is narrow
- Sue (6/5): Disappointed for the price. - Location & spacious Rather tired, could do with an update in that price bracket.
- Michelina (9/5): -
- Wilco (8/5): -
- Michelle (8/5): -
- Barbara (10/5): Fantastic- we all loved the unit. - Clean, fabulous views. Could have used a bedside lamp in second bedroom. Very dark centre light and unable to read.
- Jenny (9/5): Unbeatable view - The view was exceptional. Every room had great view to the lake and the mtn Remarkable. All rooms were spacious. The kitchen was modern and functioned well. Very clean. The beds were very co.fortable.
The whole unit felt very relaxing.
Also, the staff's communication was great. The garage was quite tight, and the driveway had quite a steep slope. The sound proof of floor was not great, footstep sound on the upper floor living room can be heard from the lower floor bedrooms.
- Sabina (10/5): Excellent, you could stay sitting in the lounge just watching the view and activities on the water a - Everything. view was amazing, rooms were spacious and comfortable, bathrooms were big as well. Everything you needed in the kitchen was provided. Big living room with comfy furniture and nice balcony The Car parking, it is very tight, we were lucky that we didn't scratch the hire car but we came very close. The balcony could be extended out a bit more its not very big but that's about all. I would definitely stay there again.
- RUI (9/5): - 景观绝美,房子应该有些年头了,但是看得出保养很用心,厨房设施一应俱全,早晚温差大,还贴心配备了电暖器
- MINGFENG (10/5): - Very nice and supportive staff. We forgot our coat in the apartment and did not remember it after several days, the friendly staff suggested the way to post the coats back and made the whole process easy and pleasant.
- Andrew (10/5): Spectacular veiws, great location and comfy beds . - The location is a comfortable 20 min walk with a few hills from the centre of Queenstown. The views are amazing and our unit #15 was very well appointed, the kitchen and lounge was spacious and allowed us to cook a few meals. The beds are kin and very comfortable and again the view from the master bed is spectacular. The staff are lovely and very helpful and I even used the heated pool and sauna which was a nice bonus. The full appointed kitchen and laundry and comfortable beds.
- Anthony (9/5): -
- Georgina (8/5): We enjoyed ourselves. Modern style appartment with all the features that you would expect. - Good location, with great views of lake and mountains. Access was difficult due to busy road in and out. Car parking was difficult due to availability of space.
- Qing (9/5): -
- Eyal (10/5): דירה נוחה ומאובזרת בקווינסטאון - נוף לאגם. דירה מרווחת ומאובזרת הפן לא עבד. קצת רחוק מהמרכז.
- Colin (9/5): - The views were excellent.
- Cheng Tao (8/5): -
- Nina (10/5): Amazing stay at spinnaker bay apartments - Excellent location, beautiful views, amazing vista and apartment was very comfortable and roomy
- Peter (9/5): - Amazing views
- Valerie (9/5): Will stay again - The house has big space, face to lake and beautiful scene, comfortable bed, well equipment, near to Queenstown center but better to drive car. The dryer machine door was broken and could not use on the first day when we arrived but the management repaired it next day. No replacement of bath towel even we stayed for 3 days. Hard to carry the luggage as the living room and bed rooms were in 2nd and 3rd floor.
- Michael (10/5): - We like everything about the apartment, great views, a lot of space and privacy. We also got complimentary late check out at 11am what was really nice :) Be careful with parking if you’re bringing a bigger car, it’s a little tight. Also some kitchen equipment like pans should be replaced, apart from that it was perfect :)
- Sarah (9/5): Beautiful! Stunning, peaceful, spacious - Location, view, space If the spa bath worked
- Zhizhong (9/5): -
- Nelson (10/5): Amazing place with Great views and close to town! - this place was amazing! We loved that it had such great views right from the living room as well as the two bedrooms!It was also in walking distance from town and other dinning spots. It was a nice quiet location away from the crowds down town. It also has amazing outdoor areas to enjoy which is something we really look for when traveling. everything was very comfortable. Also Sue was very helpful with places to see and where to get good food. She was very friendly. We didn't really see anything that was in need of changing
- Sophie (10/5): This property was worth the money - The view and location was spectacular.
The lounge are was fantastic for a family and all the amenities were more than expected The back bedroom door didn’t close. Also oven and stovetop had no instructions of usage (we googled it) so it wasn’t a major issue but just a little’how to guide’ would help.
- Luyao (10/5): 整体很满意 - 湖景很美! 烧水壶需要换一个新的
- Qu (10/5): -
- Sally (10/5): Fabulous apartment excellent location - Spectacular views beautifully furnished beautifully appointed accommodation It was very hot in the lounge and needed air con but it was a hot spell when we were there
Couldn’t open the doors in the evening due to midges etc
- JIAFENG (10/5): - 位置很好 散步很方便
- YI HUI (10/5): - 很美很乾淨熱水也非常穩定 非常推薦
- Daniel (8/5): - Location is really convenient. The place is pretty spacious, with enough room to move around comfortably. Noticed some bed bug bites. The heating was poor with only a small portable heater that didn’t work well.
Everything else was perfect.
- Yiyi (10/5): 是我们到新西兰住的最好的酒店,太棒了! - 三层楼的公寓,一层有两个车位,对于不好停车的皇后镇非常友好。二楼和三楼的雪山、湖泊景观棒极了,我们在三楼阳台观星非常方便。
厨房电器设备、料理工具一应俱全。竟然还有BBQ装置,虽然我们没有用。
位置很好,我们去峡湾的大巴车经停点就在酒店入口附近,沿着酒店内的小路下去就能到湖边,还贴心的准备了简易秋千。 没有,非常好!
- Kellie (8/5): Wonderful stay at Spinnaker Bay! - Great location, easy access to walk beside lake. Close to city centre. Full kitchen, fire and heaters so always warm. Amazing views, great space. Very comfortable! Creaky floors and stairs very loud in bedrooms which are downstairs. Bathrooms need a little love. Very functional, but just a little tired.
- Yaxian (6/5): 房屋老旧,与价格不匹配。无法寄存行李,需要拖着箱子走到寄存点交费寄存。拿钥匙的地方在别家酒店大堂,晚上门无法自动打开,需要其他酒店人员开门。 -
- Curgenven (10/5): Spacious apartment with beautiful views, short walk along the water into town.. - Fabulous Apartments only a short walk into the main centre of Queenstown. Beautiful views, comfortable rooms and very spacious. We have stayed at this apartment several times when visiting Queenstown and appreciate the friendly service offered by the host such as leaving lights and heaters on for us when arriving after office hours etc.
- Craig (10/5): Everything was incredible - Location was amazing, well equipped and
Clean Aging slightly
- Maria (4/5): it was a disappointing ending to a 3 week holiday on the South Island - I loved the location and view The beds and pillows were uncomfortable
- Helena (10/5): It was a fabulous place to visit the nearby Gibbston Valley wineries, and enjoy lunch at Mora Winery, with the added bon - Very comfortable, well kitted out, and superb location, minutes from town with excellent views of the lakes and the mountains. Lovely walking path to the town centre. All very pleasant.
- Olivia (6/5): Not impressive - The view and the location. The amenities were not very clean or overly used. The filter of the dryer is full of dirt, the toaster was with breadcrumbs while the boiler was blacked ( look like burnt or boiled with coffee before). The coffee filter was still stuck with some coffee grounds。
The car park was difficult to park if you have a big one.
We paid on avg of NZD957 per night and we stayed for 5 nights. I do think we deserve something better.
- Avani (10/5): -
- Alexes (9/5): -
- Aaron (10/5): A wonderful place to call home while visiting Queenstown. - Location and views are incredible. The three bedroom apartments are very spacious. The pool and sauna are a nice bonus. Loved the 20 minute lake-side walk into town. Driveway is steep but easily navigable in a car.
- Marie (9/5): Excellent - Location, cleanliness & comfort Nil
- paul (9/5): - Location Steep drive
- Yvonne (10/5): Good location , quiet location , swimming pool and sauna, was a bonus - Spacious, clean well equipped Nothing
- Kim (6/5): Great location, fabulous view, very clean but very tired. - The view and the cleanliness. We were three adults but effort to contact the host apartments and requests for two bedrooms both with a double or larger bed in second room went unanswered. Staying in a child’s bed for 9 nights was not comfortable. The furniture was tired and the lighting in the bathrooms not adequate. Same for bedside table lamps. Towels and bedding great but we had doonahs in summer and it was very hot. The lounges were two seaters with no cushions, we think designed to prevent people sleeping on lounges. We also tried several times to contact the host re early check in but when eventually answered never got back to us.
- Hu (9/5): - 风景好,很安静 地理位置距离皇后镇中心较远
- Johnson (10/5): We also liked to walk into Queenstown along the foreshore and through the gardens. All in all brilliant. - Very well appointed. Glorious views. Nothing really. The drive was very steep but ok after you had driven it once.
- Yu-Chun (9/5): The view is beautiful and house is cleaning and comfortable. - Difficult to park and exit onto main road.
- Phil (10/5): Stunning vistas luxurious facilities - Location and facilities Zero
- Gwendoline (10/5): We had an amazing stay. We loved waking up to the amazing view! - The view. Nothing.
- Ying (10/5): - 位置,景色,设施都一流 床的被子不舒服
- Andrew (10/5): Beautiful place to stay - Perfect for our family Nothing
- Xinyi (10/5): Remarkable - Everything wonderful. My favorite place in New Zealand. No at all
- Anshul (9/5): -
- jin (4/5): -
- Vaibhav (10/5): View to admire from dawn to dusk - It's one thing to have a lake-view, it's another thing top have a lake-view without seeing ugly rooftops ahead of you. You see the lake side greenery and path leads to the lake-side walk, making a stroll to the town centre truly relaxing. The washer and dryer are next to the bedroom door and the vibration rattles the doors affecting your sleep. Don't use these during the night. Do it when you are going out.
- Anthea (10/5): -
- TING (9/5): We stayed 4 days there, love the stunning view in living room and 2 main bedrooms. But the furniture and other facilitie - Stunning view and comfortable bed Furnitures and facilities are a bit old and not the quality for the price.
- glenn (1/5): -
- Tracey (7/5): Great for larger group - Great views Remarkables and lake, lots of space Dated, old. Very hard to park car. Could feel electric blanket, not very comfortable
- Peta (10/5): Beautiful property & the outlook was amazing. We really loved our stay here. - The property was in a beautiful location. It was clean & had plenty of room & facilities.
- LI (9/5): - 景色宜人,厨房设施齐全、方便 无
- zhihai (5/5): - Not enough wash toiletries. Shampoo , body wash and hand wash seems to be no difference. Hard to get support from staff.
- Haupt (10/5): Great place to stay - Great view. Nice to have hot tub and sauna. Close to lake. I wished the swimming pool was open after 5pm.
- Tracey (7/5): - Views Very small balconies to enjoy views
- Jin (10/5): -
- Jiakang (10/5): Fantastic, I had a good holiday here. - The view is amazing. The room is very comfortable and the facilities are very complete.
- Don (8/5): - Views were spectacular
- Akihiro (9/5): 素晴らしい - ロケーション。街に出る湖沿いの道が楽しかったです。
静かで見晴らしもよく、快適に過ごしました。
- Gitte (9/5): - pool åbningstider 9AM-5PM er for lidt tid, har brug for at kunne svømme tidligt morgen, sent aften efter tur ud til særværdigheder - eneste, men store minus for stedet!
- Cynthia (10/5): Loved this property,would highly recommend - Gorgeous view Parking was difficult
- Nimanshu (10/5): -
- Jackie (10/5): Just wonderful - Stunning views over the lake from both the livingand bed rooms.. Easy walk into the city. Beautiful apartment, masses of space, everything you could possibly want including dishwasher, washer/dryer and BBQ. Just be aware it is on a steep hill with several steps.
- Julian (9/5): Great location, odd parking - Great views, good location Parking was tricky as the garages are extremely small and not designed for modern cars. The driveways are also very uneven so it's difficult to navigate into the parking bays
- Anna (8/5): Views to die for - Views to die for, 20 minute walk to restaurants, pubs, water activities, shopping & Gondola ride. The property was a bit tired, squeaky floors, hard to sleep in if you have an early riser, walking around the top floor.
- Debbie (10/5): -
- TAE YEAN (8/5): - 호수 옆에 있어서 산책하기 좋고 시내와도 가까워서 택시타도 12불정도임.
거실에서 바라보는 풍경이 매우 멋지고, 밤엔 별도 많이 보였음. 지금은 히터가 있어 좋았는데, 한여름에 에어컨은 있는지 체크요.
현재는 보이지 않음.
복층이라 오르내리기 약간불편.
- sharon (10/5): -
- Chunyang (10/5): - The view The garage small but it’s ok for this time. But next time I bring my family will drive bigger car, then it will be a problem
- yuwen (8/5): - 湖景很漂亮,设施比较齐全,全天候的暖气
- Tania (10/5): Third time at Spinnaker and its always perfect - Scenic beauty, stunning view from rooms, easy public bus from airport, pool, walking track to town
- Raitu (10/5): Top - Top Rien
- Kristin (10/5): I will definitely stay here again when I visit Queenstown - Great location with spectacular views. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. It’s a little difficult getting in and out of the garage.
- Tim (6/5): - Location This is advertised as an apartment. It's a hotel room. Apartment in the title is misleading a is a tiny room and no sink or cooking option
