I think I scored a good rate as there were a lot of vacancies in Queenstown. Beautiful view of the lake. About a 40 minute walk outside of town which was nice in that it was so quiet but a bit inconvenient if one wanted to go back to the hotel for a rest before venturing out again. Buses run... More

Just spent a wonderful few days at the Oaks Shores in Queenstown...a 2-bedroom apartment Room 703 with amazing views of the lake and mountains. Woke up the first morning to find it had snowed and the tops of the mountains were dusted in snow.. a lovely view from very large windows in a comfortable and clean accommodation. I especially liked... More

We stayed in Oak Shores for the first leg of our trip. The only unfortunate thing about the trip was that we did not stay in Oak Shores long enough. It's set up like a one bedroom apartment. Its clean, has all the amenities one may need including a washer and dryer. The view was spectacular. We stayed on the... More

My wife and I had a wonderful 5 nights at the Oaks Shores in our 1 bedroom apartment, 3rd floor, Room 308, wonderful for a romantic vacation. The view was absolutely beautiful, facilitated by lots of windows and the apartment was large that is for sure with a full kitchen, better than ours at home. The balcony was used almost... More

We stayed three nights in a 'lakeside' room which was small, dark and had only a very limited,oblique view from its single small window. The complex is a large 'rabbit warren' like maze which is difficult to find your way around with a trip from our room to the reception / restaurant area needing to involve two elevators, two lengthy...

There were seven of us. We got 2 adjoining apartments, one upstairs and one down on the lake edge. Perfect for us as each lounge was large enough to accommodate the 7 all together. Bedrooms large and bathrooms fine. You could lie in the bath upstairs and look at the view towards the Remarkables and the lake. The kitchen was... More

I have to agree with some of the previous reviewers that the service from reception was somewhat lacklustre and a few of the staff could do with a few weeks at charm school. However once you have managed to check in and found your way to your room you will be greeted by a large and pleasant space with ample... More

Once you get past the cool greeting of indifference at reception and negotiate the rabbit warren/maze to get to your room (in our case, down the very steep driveway, thru the underground carpark, thru a hallway and down a lift) you will be greeted with an exceptional room, and an even more breathtaking view. We never got sick of looking... More
