4.0/5
Well priced, free WiFi on arrival.
Facilities were old but always clean. Reception lady was lovely. Real community vibe there. Not much in the area - just residential - so a good spot to stop if you don't want to be in town or before flying out the following day.

2.0/5
Overpriced with no real benefits.
Felt paranoid the whole stay because of all the rules and restrictions. No free Wi-Fi. Needs more facilties for the amount of people they host. They have the market cornered so they can do what they want really. Only really worth one night stay to try see the lights then move on with your journey.

3.0/5
Average place, limited facilities but does the trick and much cheaper than the Top 10 in the area.
We stayed en route to Milford Sound but it snowed overnight so we were snowed out and had to change up our travel plans as it was our first night/day in NZ. The lady at reception gave us an earful for still being there at 10.10am changing our travel plans. Rules are rules, yes, but we were trying to leave asap.
South Island ▷ Queenstown Region ▷ Queenstown Township ▷
3.5/5
Really friendly staff, generous free WiFi on arrival, quite a few kitchen stations, bathrooms and showers but due to the amount of van sites dependant on them, you may have to wait during peak periods
. The facilities do get cleaned daily, but once again, due to the number of people using them, they get dirty quickly - especially the showers. Probably overpriced for what you get, but it's the cheapest in Queenstown

Clean, quiet and a pleasant short stroll to town.
Paid Wi-Fi only. The facilities were always clean and warm which is a plus

4.0/5
Not a bad spot, no amazing views but the sizes of the sites were generous and the value for money wasn't bad.
Large kitchen with clean facilities. Short stroll to town/lake
