What a beautiful vacation rental! Everything was practically brand new, comfy bed, and well stocked pantry with everything we needed. Couldn’t ask for a better location or view of the lake, just down a few steps to the Frankton walking trail. We even saw an aurora right from in front of our patio! Highly recommend.
It was a great apartment to stay in, very quiet and midpoint to Frankton and central Queenstown. No fault of the apartment but I should have checked the location of the apartment within the complex and how many stairs there were, to get to our apartment. I took my elderly Mum, and she had difficulty with the amount of stairs there were.
