I LOVED the Whistler in Queenstown. The owners were just wonderful and so incredibly friendly and interested in where we were from and where we were going. They had a wide selection of DVDs available at reception and they left clear instructions of how to find our room, as we arrived too late to check in with them.

The apartment was fab too, large bedroom with large wardrobes. The bathroom was perfect for the two of us and the living room was also very spacious. The balcony was massive and could have easily fit a large table with 8 chairs around it. We had an incredible view of the lake and mountains and watched the sun set every night. The bed was comfortable as was the sofa and we never had a problem parking close to our room. The hotel is a 1 min walk from Queenstown center and you are close to all the restaurants, pubs and wharf. The gondolas are also only a 10 min walk away or a 3 min drive. We also drove to the shotover jet from the hotel and we were there in 15mins. The only thing I would have changed (and this is clutching at straws) would be the metal blind in the bedroom. It was very warm while we were there and so we had to have the window open, this made the blind bang contantly against the wall which did wake me up a few times. If there was aircon or a fan I could have shut the window but it was also light so ealry we couldn't leave the blind down. This was literally my only conplaint!

Thank you so much Jan and Wayne for a fantastic visit!

We stayed at this holiday apartment during our recent trip to Queenstown. The staff were helpful, warm and friendly people who recommended a number of nice activities to do in this area. The rooms were very clean and in excellent condition. We were very comfortable staying there.

We stayed in the Whistler Holiday Apartments for 4 nights and we must say that this motel is one of the best accomodation that we have had as we travel around the amazing South Island. The rooms were especially clean and spacious with white modern designs, offering us an extremely pleasant and comfortable stay in Queenstown. The balcony also offers a fantastic view of the famous Skyline Gondola (and paragliders) as well as some of the rugged mountains surrounding Queenstown. Whistler is conveniently located on Gorge Road, which is just a 5 minute short walk from the city centre (where most of the shopping is), the FreshChoice supermart, and also the petrol station. What really impressed us was the quality service provided by the staff. The knowledgeable staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Not only did they help us book most of the activities that we wanted to do in Queenstown, but they were also very willing to help us book our accomodation for the subsequent days of our trip. The best thing is, we only paid an easily affordable price of NZ$145 per night! However, there's one slight drawback. The laundry machine would take a couple of hours before it completes one whole process and it also leaves the laundry rather damped even after drying them. Other than that, we find ourselves very lucky to book this apartment through Queenstown's i-site and we absolutely recommend this motel to anyone that's visiting Queenstown, be it a short or a long stay.

We stayed in the Whistler for three nights whilst in Queenstown on our trip around the south island. The rooms were very comnfortable clean and modern. We had a nice view of the mountains from the balcony. The only thing we would comment on is that the bedroom is located closest to the walkway and that the light remains on all night which makes the room quite bright. Other than this the stay was perfect. The Whistler is in a great location with a short 5 minute walk to the CBD. The hosts were very friendly and were great at helping us find things to do in and around Queenstown. The cooking facilities were more than adequate for making a great breakfast.
We would definately reccommend and would return to the Whistler any time!
