We loved the Alley apartment. It was spacious, light, and clean. The bed is huge and comfortable.
While it's not a long walk to the central business district, be aware that it's hilly and there's some road construction that requires detours.
Overall we enjoyed our stay. There were some discrepancies with the listing that the property management team resolved after my follow up. The place was clean and well kept. Only issues were that the street parking was a bit challenging to find and the apartment is behind the main house, which resulted in a couple awkward moments where our gaze met the people staying in the main residence as we walked to the apartment entryway.
If you are looking for a property within walking distance to all your excursions, restaurants and the shops in downtown Queenstown, this is your place. It had everything we needed for our 10 night say. The king size bed was very comfortable and the hotel sheets made it even better. Our unit did not have parking, which due to all the construction in the area was a challenge. Make sure and understand all the street parking restrictions as the do enforce the parking and tickets are issued frequently.
Quaint place, good location and views however thatâs kind of where it stops. The bed is two singles pushed together so youâll sink in the middle making it very uncomfortable. The bedding is also very interesting, the doona/duvet is a bare doona/duvet with two sheets either side so not very hygienic as youâll end up touching the doona/duvet itself. Pillows are terrible and thin and the pillow cases donât even fit. Kmart is down the road, no idea why you wouldnât buy a cheap bedding set for the property?
The stove top had only one burner working and the hot water for the shower was lukewarm at best.
Despite what the listing says, there is no parking for the apartment, street parking is very limited. You have to park at least 5-10 min walk awayâŠand up hill!
There are far better places to stay in Queenstown for the same price, we unfortunately wonât be returning to this accommodation.
Fantastic location with everything we needed for a family of four, with two under the age of 7. House was very clean and comfortable. Water pressure in the shower wasnât great but it did ensure we didnât run out of hot water. All in all a great place that weâd rent again.
