Our 3 night stay in March 2011 at the The Waterfront Breakfree was chosen for it's location and views. We arrived in Queenstown early morning by plane, and pleased that we were able to check in on arrival to the hotel. Our apartment was very clean and we were surprised at how spacious it was. The view from the lounge... More

One word....horrid. These apartments are tired to say the least. Very dirty and in need of new everything. Not much in the kitchen cupboards, the cutlery looks as if it was purchased at Woolworths 25 years ago...didn't even want to eat with it. Beds uncomfortable and tiny bedrooms, lounge area a good size. Towels were so discoloured and old......should have... More

As you will note a few reviews refer to the place being a bit tired and some of the units no doubt fall into this category. The units are privately owned but managed by Mantra. Some units have recently been refurbished and are fantastic. We have stayed they on three trips and have had 2 great units and one older... More

The location was perfect. 50m to some great restaurants and the main action. Very nice view from the very generously sized room. We had a 2 bedroom unit. There were a few things that detracted from the experience. The cupboards were missing a few things - only 1 bowl. 2 wine glasses. Bathrooms were very nice. Kitchen was a bit... More

We have stayed here a number of times as it is close to town, is fully self contained and has good parking.

Located just a few minutes from central Queenstown across the road from the lake. Lake views, friendly staff and roomy apartment. Have stayed there twice.

Just completed a four night stay here and were very impressed with everything. Had a two bedroom/two bathroom apartment on the 4th floor - amazing views of the lake and mountains. Facilities were first class - room was spotless and everything you could need was provided. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Stayed over xmas on 2 separate occasions. Both 2 bedroom apartments were pleasantly furnished with adequate amenities for a short stay. There was some minor problems with towels and second keys which took a bit of persuasion but were eventually sorted out, this was probably the only downside of the stay. Location is probably one of the best you could... More

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment for 2 nights. Good Points : large and comfortable living area and kitchen. All the utensils and gadgets needed to cater yourself. Short walk to town and parking onsite. Clean with good showers. Bad Points : furnishings getting a little dated, entrance is through the carpark which is difficult with suitcases. Beds are... More
