Apartments in Otago, New Zealand

The room was incredibly spacious and even had a microwave, which was great for heating up food purchased from the supermarket. It also boasted a large balcony with fantastic lake views. The only thing to be aware of is the steep uphill walk from town to the hotel, which could be a bit slippery in winter. Overall, it offers excellent value for money and a prime location.

A love-hate relationship with this place. The 180-degree lake view flat was amazing, and the in-room facilities were comprehensive, except for one of the stove burners not lighting on max heat and not being able to find the switch for the laundry room exhaust fan. There are also quite a few things to complain about: Getting from reception to the room requires walking along an outdoor driveway and through the garage, which is an unusually unpleasant experience! Luckily the weather was good; it would have been a complete disaster if it had rained. As for the service, the front desk staff acted like robots, seemingly doing nothing but checking guests in. Indian tour buses would block the entrance/exit for over ten minutes at a time, completely jamming the driveway, and no one did anything about it! They claimed to have a shuttle bus service to town, but they didn't control the number of passengers, which resulted in some people not being able to get on. The website said check-in was at 2 PM, but when 2 PM rolled around, they told us the room wasn't ready and we'd have to wait until 2:30 PM for the key card, without a single apology.

Really nice looking room and a very good price performance ratio. And you even get a complimentary drink. Room was nice and warm upon arrival. I didnt really understand the self checkin for a second, cause i didnt know the rooms were directly at the parkinglot, where the whiteboards and the name are written. Really easy and useful for a fast checkin and checkout. I would stay there again.

I checked in at 3:30 PM only to be given a dirty room, which was very disappointing. I immediately went to the front desk to report it, and they asked me to wait. I then asked if an upgrade was possible because the room felt very cramped, and the window only offered a view of the resort grounds, not the sea. It was room 213B, and all 'B' rooms apparently don't have sea views. You definitely need to pick an 'A' room for a good view. A little later, the front desk told me there were no rooms available and still asked me to wait. After another short wait, they said I could switch to room 201B. Upon opening the door, it was much better – it had a side window and even a partial sea view!

The room was on the second floor, level with the ground floor, which was great for carrying luggage. The front desk staff were very polite and there was no discrimination against Chinese people. The view was great, and the room was fully equipped. Considering that all hotels are expensive during the Spring Festival, this was quite good value for money. After closing time, the front desk staff would put an envelope with your name on it in the reception mailbox for self-service check-in, which was very convenient.

The views are stunning and the atmosphere is fantastic. Our room was on the second floor, which was a bit inconvenient with large luggage. You can always ask the front desk staff in advance if you'd like to switch rooms. It's super close to the Lonely Tree, which is incredibly convenient.

This hotel is located in the commercial and hotel district near the airport, and it has its own parking. If you're not driving, you can catch the #1 bus to the airport just a 2-minute walk from the entrance. It takes about 20-something minutes to get to Queenstown city center. There's a 'Red Super' supermarket about a 10-minute walk away, and plenty of local restaurants nearby, which is very convenient. The room itself is very spacious and fully equipped with pots, pans, a dishwasher, and even salt and pepper. It's perfect for cooking your own meals and then enjoying them on the balcony with a view.

We were in the“Seabreaze“ apt, which was very clean and had the exact great views over the beach as described. The bed was comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our breakfast. While it was cold outside, the heating inside kept us warm and cozy. Parking in the garage underneath, or right beside the building for a larger car. Important to mention the Italian restaurant just 100m away at the corner, which is our absolute favourite when coming to Dunedin! We highly recommend staying at the Esplanade Apartments and will book again in the future.

We LOVED this accommodation!  It was at a great location, walking distance to nearby cafe and the Hilton restaurant - which was amazing for sunset drinks overlooking the gorgeous lake and snow capped mountains.  It was close enough to the bustle of Queenstown but far enough away to relax and enjoy the surroundings.  The host was friendly and welcoming and provided really useful information that assisted our stay.  Self - paid car parking walking distance. Other dining options in the immediate area were limited but we had food delivered easily. Thank you!

Really enjoyed my stay here. The place was super clean, which is always a big plus. It’s in a great location – easy to get to nearby sights and attractions without much hassle. Having parking available made things even more convenient, especially since we were driving around a lot. One of the best parts was the view from the room – absolutely beautiful, especially at sunset. Overall, it was a super comfortable and hassle-free experience. Would definitely stay here again if I’m back in the area. Great spot for a relaxed and easy trip.
