Our room was not ready at check in and when we got to our room there was no toilet paper. Arrived in room to find the photos in no way reflected the room we were issued as it was much older and not refreshed like rooms in the photos, it had floor tiles that were cracked, workers were repairing structural damage under the unit making incredible noise for the 2 days we were staying there. We were not offered a discount or room upgrade which would have been appropriate given the nightly cost of this room. Really disappointed and would not recommend.

Rooms were pretty dirty. We saw walls were covered with filthy dirt. Bathrooms weren’t even clean enough. Bedsheets had hairs as if it wasn’t changed. Not very impressed with this proposal. Looks like it’s been rented to young kids

Booked a studio appartment with lake view. Was abit disappointed that the room was so far from the lake but it had views looking inbeetween other appartments buildings. Room was clean but old and run down. Highlight was the friendly reception staff who were very kind.

Dear valued guest, Thank you for your review on your stay at The BreakFree the Point. We very much appreciate your comments. I was pleased to read that you enjoyed the lake views. Naturally, I was also disappointed to read that the room allocated was not up to your expectations. I would like to pass on my sincere apologies for this. We do acknowledge that there are varying degrees in terms of the standard and fit out of our apartments and this is something we are actively working with our owners on to address as a priority. This is challenging process and one, which will take some time as we attempt to justify to each individual owner why they need to re-invest in their apartments. Most owners are receptive and are investing towards refurbishment work, again however, this is to varying degrees, some are well over and above expectations and others are to reach our minimum standard that we would expect. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to serve you better in future. Sincerely, Hotel Manager Vinod Azad

The property had odd rundown furniture and odd crookery. Couple of chairs were wobbly. One chair was broken and had to be replaced. Electric kettle was also broken and had to be replaced. Daily cleaning service was not offered. Bathroom toiletries, tea/coffee etc.were insufficient and were not topped up everyday. washing power had to be asked for washing machine.. Very disappointed as we stayed there for four nights. Won't stay there again. Overall the property needs renovations and replacement of furniture/appliances.

High price for not much comfort
Apartment style room as opposed to a typical hotel. The bed was 2 singles pushed together so had a big hump in the middle. Overall for what we paid ($300 for one night) we weren’t really happy as would normally expect a lot more for that price - but it was a last minute reservation so we had no choice as everywhere else was booked. Staff were really lovely and certainly were a credit to the establishment.

Larger space size than expected, but kitchen area was lacking in size and items to use (ie. dishes). Bathroom needs renovation as floor tiles are coming up and sink needs replacing.

The location was perfect for us. We could easily walk to town along the lake without being in directly in Queenstown. The views from the apartment are outstanding. It's directly on the lake with beautiful mountain views. The apartment is very well equipped with everything you need. It's getting a bit rundown and needs some updating.
