This was a last minute booking and a room was ready. Great views, hot shower, the tv worked. I could walk everywhere, it has onsite parking. The stairs could really do with some maintenance or even replaced with something safer.

Quick stay in QT
just one night stay. location is great. right in front of the lake wakatipu in QT. A small kitchenette comes handy to cook or warm up food. Water pressure is good. We stayed on the ground floor, so the window in the bathroom is not suitable to be open as motel's workers walk pass through the hallway frequently. No privacy.

Two power point sockets were loose and hanging - dangerous. Light bulb hanging out of socket. Toothbrush (not mine) left on floor under TV table. Windows covered in hand prints. Kitchen area smelt musty.
