This place is clean, well kitted out, and an easy 10 minute stroll from town/5 min stroll to lake front. The best thing about it is the family running it, who are welcoming and very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Would recommend if you are looking for a good value and comfy base but plan to be out and... More

The rate was very good. The rooms very clean and tidy. The staff were helpful and friendly. I would not hesitate to stay here again and I would happily recommend it to anyone.

It is so small the bin has to be put in the bathroom instead of... More

I stayed at Bella Vista for 2 nights in early Nov 11, as it was hard to find other accommodation for the dates I wanted. I've stayed in Bella Vista Queenstown and didn't like that either.
