The accommodation is overdue for updates including new carpet and freshing up. Good location if you need to park a car and pricing is very reasonable for Queenstown. Room was quiet and bed was comfortable. Needed to ask for the shower base to be cleaned with bleach. Good common area balcony at the front of the lodge great for a drink with a view of the lake.
