The lakeview is excellent, eventhough it's not seeing from room, but you can have it at the balcony. We can also see the sunset as well. It's only 15mins walk to the downtown area, but the supermarket in Queenstown is quite far, around 25-30mins walk from Alexis, but it's alright, as the view is good and just enjoy more walking. The owner is helpful, and you can book all the outdoor activities through him as well. The washing machine is at the basement, and it's cheap, so it's good for long stay travellers as well.
