Quick stay in QT
just one night stay. location is great. right in front of the lake wakatipu in QT. A small kitchenette comes handy to cook or warm up food. Water pressure is good. We stayed on the ground floor, so the window in the bathroom is not suitable to be open as motel's workers walk pass through the hallway frequently. No privacy.

This place just needs a bulldozer put though it. Luckily the only clean things were the towels and the sheets. Blood on the chair, hair in the shower. Only frosted glass in the bathrooms so the backpackers can basically see though. Woman turn the light off in the bathroom when you shower. Door to the communal deck broken so you had to lock it from the outside then pull shut. For $300 a night disgusting. The timber doors etc dirty and kitchen from the 70s. One electrical cord not properly insulated so who know when the last fire and safety check was done.
