Good apartment with great facilities. Modern and spacious. Kitchen was great and had everything required. About a 15 minute walk into town and uphill on the way back to the apartments. Worth getting a cab (about $10) at night. Amazing views of Lake Wakatipu and The Remarkables.

I've thought a lot about what to write and want to represent Alta fairly. Here's what I experienced. The two bedroom apartment was clean, tidy and had a fantastic view. It's close to town and therefore close to lots of great activities. Upkeep wise, the apartment seemed to be suffering from water damage and there were a few cracks in... More

Couldn't believe my eyes when we saw the apartment. Modern, stylish, and lots of room to move around, Even the car had a garage. The view from the apartment was spectacular. Self catering saved us lots of money. I would recommend this apartment to anyone. I definately would be staying here again.

Yet again another great stay at Alta apartments. Part of the reason my family and I keep coming back is the size and standard of the apartments. I'm never disappointed and the kids love the fact that they can spread out and have room to move. So much better than a hotel room. Of course, self catering also helps us... More

This is a new apartment with modern interior. Nice view from the living room. The location is not easy to find in the dark but overall its still ok. Like the design with dining and living room at 3rd floor. It won't disturb others member who rest in the room at 2nd floor.

I read all the reviews about Alta Apartments with interest. I went into other travel sites and read more reviews prior to making my decision to stay at Alta Apartments and am amazed at how wrong some prior visitors have been.

The photos look great on the website but the next minute after we checked into the studio room, it was very disappointing. The room was at the far end, entrance at the back of the building with a very small downhill sloping walking track, no light at 11pm when we came back after dinner. We had to use our cellphone...

We stayed at the Alta apartments for four nights in October. We had a three bedroom apartment which was spread over three levels. Generally the apartment was spacious, clean, well appointed and and in good condition. Views of the Remarkables from the balcony were excellent. We felt that some TLC and basic maintenance items really let Alta down eg blown... More

Lovely two bedroom apartment for our family. Clean, comfortable, with everything we needed. The kids loved the game of Monopoly! It was 10 minute walk for the centre of town, but this was no problem with a view of the lake and the snow capped mountains.
