Mantra The Point

A perfect accommodation to stay in Queenstown.

酒店似乎像是印度人經營的，但整體很整潔，衞生條件也不錯。位置絕佳，房子就在湖邊，在客廳和我主卧可以直接欣賞美麗湖景。缺點是設備老舊，廚房枱麪都很久，烤箱像是1980年代的，客廳還放着一台老舊的錄音機和DVD機，可見它的老舊程度😂

一打開窗户超級美

Me decepcionó nuestra habitación, pero no me quejé. Estaba muy deteriorada, con moho en el baño. La habitación en sí estaba ordenada, la cama era cómoda y limpia, pero la cocina americana necesitaría una buena limpieza y renovación. El wifi junto a la cama no es muy seguro. ¡Aunque las vistas desde la ventana eran preciosas!

Most people write a review after they’ve left, but we’re currently five nights into a 16-night stay—and for the price, I admit I did (or rather, do) expect more. We booked a two-bedroom apartment for the convenience of being able to cook and do laundry. Unfortunately, cooking is proving to be a challenge. The stove requires the power to be turned off and the oven reset before it can be used—every single time. Even then, it doesn't always work right away. It has taken more than 10 attempts on some nights before the stove finally kicks in. The kitchenware is a mismatched collection of pots, lids, and steamers. We’re making do with what’s there, but it’s far from ideal. Despite requesting one from reception, we still can’t even get a plug to fill the sink to do the dishes—honestly, how difficult is that? We were supplied three coffee pods at the start of our 16-night stay—beyond that, it’s $1.50 per pod. Not a huge deal, but again, given the length and cost of our stay, it feels stingy. Streaming anything on the TV is another challenge. During a movie, we often have to turn the TV on and off five to ten times, depending on the time of day, because it continuously buffers. The room is advertised as including robes—there are none. It mentions a safe—we’ve yet to find it. And "high-speed internet" must only apply if you don’t want to watch Netflix. I’ve never thought of myself as someone with high expectations, but I don’t think basic things like a working stove, a sink plug, or being able to watch TV after a long day skiing are unreasonable—especially not at this price point.

Wonderful relaxing stay with the most amazing views. We met up with family from Australia and spent 4 days. This was our second stay at this hotel. Management and staff were very friendly and helpful. Apartment was very comfortable, quiet, clean and warm with a wonderful kitchen which was extremely well fitted out. The views os the Remarkables and Cecil Peak are amazing. The driveway access into the hotel is steep but that is so that all the rooms get the view so its worth it. Its close to Queenstown CBD and has access to the walking and cycle trail around the Lake. The apartments are self contained so there are no dining facilities on the premises, which is fine as there are restaurants nearby. We got a mini bus/van taxi that seated us all into town to save parking hassles and it was only $21.00. We will definitely be staying here again. Thank you.
