Offering a garden and mountain view, Blackrock Apartments Queenstown is set in Queenstown, 1.5 km from Skyline Gondola and Luge and 6.6 km from Queenstown Event Centre. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The apartment features family rooms. Stayed at a two-bedroom apartment for two nights. It was cosy and spacious. Helen was the so kind and helpful. She helped us to store our luggage before the check-in time so that we could wander around. Check-in was easy and a parking lot was provided. Only downside is you need to be cautious when exiting from the premise, especially when there are cars parked on the roadside. It took about 12 - 15 minutes to walk to the town, and it's also easy to walk to Skyline from town.

Housed in a building dating from 2019, this apartment is 19 km from Lake Wakatipu and 21 km from Skippers Canyon. The property is non-smoking and is set 14 km from Queenstown Event Centre. It’s the second time I choose the Residence du Parc. It’s such a great location and the apartments are excellent! I like how comfortable the place is, the size of the apartment, the great views, everything.
