Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We were extremely impressed with this accomodation and would definitely stay again. We stayed for seven nights, the unit was clean, warm, had a lovely gas fire and a heat pump. The views over the lake and snow capped mountains from the living area were spectacular. The kitchen was well equipped with quality crockery and cutlery, pots and pans. Location was excellent. You have your own lock up garage too. The bathrooms are clean with underfloor heating. Cannot fault our stay. Would definitely go back.

LakeRidge was perfect for our weeks holiday in Queenstown. The apartment was really nice and had stunning views. It’s an easy walk to the town centre. Everything we needed was there. I thought it was a very nice touch to arrive to the tv and gas fire going as it was an icy cold day that we arrived on. The tv had a weird volume issue but there were clear instructions on how to fix it if it happened, it happens every time you turn the TV on so became a bit annoying but not a huge issue. The only thing that could have made the stay better and got a 5 rating was softer beds, the beds were extremely firm, they had toppers that were too thin or worn to work to alter the beds firmness.

We had just walked the Milford Track and were looking for a comfortable place to relax for a few days before continuing our trip.
The apartment was perfect. Three large double bedrooms with good showers and a nice bath to soak away the aches and pains.
Upstairs, the open plan lounge/ dining/ kitchen was well appointed and comfortable. The view from the deck and sitting on the lounge was perfect for quiet resting and enjoying a nice wine.
We were able to wash and dry all of our tramping gear and feel clean again
It was a short walk to the shops and cafes.
Highly recommend and would definitely go back. Everything we wanted was supplied, even a good hair dryer 😀

The underfloor heating, gas fire and heat pump ensured we never felt cold, even when it snowed overnight. The apartment is very spacious and had everything we needed. This was our third stay here and we will definitely be back again.

Lakeridge Condos could not have been better. The views of the lake and mountains are staggering. The enormous open plan upper level has a full kitchen, fireplace, giant TV, outdoor patio and high ceilings. The lower level had 3 king bedrooms. Everything about Lakeridge Condos was sunning and beautifully appointed. The management was excellent and so helpful, and it was an easy 5-minute walk into town. I could not recommend it more highly!!!

Excellent amenities and very clean, the staff managing the property were fantastic, easy to contact and quick to help when needed. And the views were AMAZING. There were 3 of us in a 3 bedroom apartment, it was perfect with 2 bathrooms and separate toilet. The apartment was always very warm. I could happily live in this apartment!

Awesome location - walk to city.... beautiful views of the lake and 5 star apartment! Was perfect for our group of 5! We will definitely stay here again next time. Communication was outstanding, we knew anything we needed was only a phone call away - this was much appreciated. Very safe and secure place - lots of families in the area too which was great to see. Thank you

This is a superb property with the most amazing views and facilities. Perfect for a group or couple.. the apartment is fully furnished and has everything you could possibly ask for. Location only 10 mins walk to town max, so no need for a car if you are only visiting for the weekend.
Staysouth was very accommodating and followed up on every request, communication was fantastic.
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a more luxurious self contained accommodation.

Hi and thank you for your enquiry.
The apartments at LakeRidge Queenstown are tiered as you go up the driveway. From the upper open level (kitchen/dining/lounge room) all apartments can enjoy the fabulous mountain and lake views.
The FRONT ROW apartments also see the views from 2 of the bedrooms.
Please let us know if you have further queries.
Kind regards
You don't really need a car if you don't mind a short walk. It is up a hill but my 3 kids didn't mind the walk. There plenty of convenience stores in the town which is. 10 - 15 min walk. Although groceries a cheaper a little further away, maybe another 15min walk past town.
There are more places to choose from in the Queenstown area.
