We stayed here for originally two nights but extended to a third because we enjoyed Queenstown and the Alexis so much.
Let's start with the location. On the Main Rd into Queenstown from Frankton. It's less than 1km from the centre of Queenstown. Arriving at the hotel you access the basement car park from a steep but not difficult side road. Up to this point I have not mentioned anything about the views, and they are very special. At the rear you can see the mountain with the Gondola ride to the top, at the front are the views of the wonderfully, almost surreal blue colour of Lake Wakitipu, while the views of the mountains including the Remarkables is simply stunning. It does not matter what the weather is like, the views are quite incredible.
Checking you will find the hotel run by a really friendly down to earth couple who go out of their way on recommendations both in Queenstown and further afield. They are more than willing to spend time talking to you even while they have racks of brochures in the reception showing you ways to spend your time in the vicinity. There is no substitute for this level of communication.
The rooms are very comfortable, with plenty of space including a kitchen area. With thin Singapore blood in our veins, we found we needed the heater and it did a great job of warming up the room. Cleanliness of the rooms was outstanding, as were all aspects of our stay here.
Very highly recommended.
