A verified traveler stayed at Peppers Beacon Queenstown
"Very nice property, amazing views indeed… close to city and they offer a shuttle service to and from the CBD which was an excellent option for us.
Room is very clean and equipped with everything we needed.. kitchen and bathroom are both spotless.
Nice and friendly staff.. construction is still going on but didn’t bother us at all. The only downside is Parking which is a big problem due to ongoing construction, but apart from the parking issue, we enjoyed our stay. Will be back for sure"
A verified traveler stayed at Oaks Queenstown Shores Resort
"Beautiful and comfortable room. Staff was awesome, they even helped thread a needle. Breakfast was included in our package but the second day we had to leave before breakfast was served. We requested a boxed breakfast and it was amazing. Juice, apple, banana, yogurt, small sandwich, granola bar and 3 small pastries. Yummy!
In room coffee and tea was superb and refrigerator was a nice amenity.
Beautiful views and plenty of complimentary parking. "
