Definitely value for money. Better than the hotel next door which is more expensive. But Oaks is closer to the lake.
Response from Property: Dear Zhou,Thank you for your outstanding review. We’re delighted you found great value in your stay and appreciated our proximity to the lake. It’s wonderful to hear that the amenities, cleanliness, and service all met your expectations.We hope to welcome you back for another memorable stay soon.Sincerely, Santiago Oaks Shores Resort Queenstown

We stayed for three nights but the shower heater wasn’t working in our last night, we called the receptionist and the receptionist on duty said that he will be assisting us to find a new room and asked us to wait for his call, we waited for a long time and he did not even call back, we called back but there was no answer and couldn’t find the receptionist at the counter, we are very disappointed by the irresponsible act by the receptionist on duty as it caused us to shower with cold water in winter.
Response from Property: Dear Teo,Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us at Oaks Shores Resort Queenstown.We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the amenities, cleanliness, and beautiful surroundings of your apartment. However, I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience you experienced with the hot water on your final night.The issue was unfortunately a general one affecting the entire building, caused by a temporary gas outage following a fire evacuation. Our team was under considerable pressure managing the emergency response and restoring services, and I’m truly sorry that this impacted your stay and that communication fell short during this time.We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a smoother and more enjoyable experience.Kind regards, Santiago from Oaks Shores Resort Queenstown

Service great (incl. shuttle to the city)
Location is semi good, shuttle / Uber necessary
Clean room, however seems hastily assembled to fill with guests (tap handle fell of, bathroom door randomly opened)
WARNING: MAIN BUILDING STILL A CONSTRUCTION SITE

The staff members are very warm and friendly. The are very helpful. The hotel is currently under renovation and so the location is not very convenient to get in and out. The room is using air refresher of which the artificial scent made me hard to breathe.

We understand the renovation work and temporary access limitations may have caused some inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience.

The apartment had everything that I needed, from comfy beds, cosy living area with a fireplace, a very good kitchen with oven and dishwasher, to a clean a minimalist looking bathroom. However, the only downside was the parking space. Even after reserving parking space, we could not get one after we went out in the night as groups of tourists from China took up the parking space without reservation. Not trying to be racist, it’s just facts.

Rest assured, we take your feedback seriously and will look into ways to ensure that reserved parking spaces are available for our guests as intended.Your feedback helps us improve, and we appreciate your understanding. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future.Best regards, Santiago from the Oaks Shores Team

One of the best stays one can have! The accommodation is situated right next to the lake, so there is a superb view of the mountain and lake the moment you open the window blinds. You can take a walk from the accommodation down to the lake and the path connects to the city centre an easy 15 to 20 mins walk away. The accommodation is clean and spacious with washer and dryer within the apartment itself, making it really convenient for us. Although there was renovation ongoing, there wasn't really any great inconvenience other than the steep slope going down to the reception. The accommodation also provided complimentary shuttle to the city centre at given schedule, but it is also easily reachable by public transport. I would love to stay here again the next time I am back in Queenstown.
Response from Property: Dear HuiMin,Thank you for your amazing review and kind words. We're thrilled to hear that you had one of your best stays with us and enjoyed the stunning lake and mountain views, the convenient location, and the comfort of the apartment.We appreciate your understanding regarding the ongoing renovations. As always, we ensure all updates are clearly communicated across our online channels and the Oaks website to help guests plan ahead.We’d be delighted to welcome you back to Oaks Shores Resort Queenstown on your next visit.Kind regards, Santiago Oaks Shores Resort Queenstown
