The room and bathroom were spacious, clean and modern. I loved the lighting in the bathroom as well as the rain shower. Even though I didn't book a 'lake view' room, I still had a nice little view of the snowy mountains and lake with a little balcony. The heating was fabulous! Floor heating, a heatpump and a wall heater if you need it. Since I just booked a standard hotel room, I was pleasantly suprised to have a microwave, Nespresso machine, dishes and a decent fridge.
The location was great for public transport as bus stops were very close to the top of the driveway. The complimentary shuttle to and from Queenstown city was fantastic! Make sure you call in advance to book your seat on a shuttle as they can fill up.
One thing that was a bit of a downer is that you can hear noise through the interconnecting door. My room had a door that connected to a larger room next door.. I could hear their TV loudly until about 1am as well as clear conversations. I needed to put on some earbuds to be able to sleep. I can't imagine that all rooms are like this though. I would have spoken to the front desk however it was only bothering me for one night as people were very quiet the following night.
Prior to booking, I luckily went directly onto the Oaks website and read that their restaurant/bar/gym were all closed due to the current construction and the reception is in a temporary location. I am sure everything will be even more wonderful once the construction is complete!
