貝爾韋代雷公寓(Belvedere Apartments)

Belvedere Apartments are good value for money in a very popular town. Set back on the hill overlooking Wanaka the Belvedere is only a wee walk to the Town Centre, however the only downside is you have a slight grade to negotiate on the return journey. Wanaka is not a Queenstown yet because you can still actually drive your car & find spaces in town, either on the street or in the car parks. Belvedere Apartments being set back on the hill allows you magnificent views over the surrounding Alps & Lake, this makes the Belvedere the value for money over the more costly & closer to Town Centre motels/hotels that have limited views.

Modern two bedroom apartment for our family of 4 but was lacking in some key areas. Firstly, the modern apartment had one wall heater in the lounge to heat two bedrooms and an open plan lounge & kitchen. This made a winter ski trip very uncomfortable and not worth the expense of this apartment. Yes, it had underfloor heating in the bathroom and electric blankets but needed a heat pump for this space in winter. Secondly, the cookware was cheap - I felt like we were back flatting as a student and not in an expensive apartment. Very hard to cook a meal for the family. The positives include great parking, separate cupboards for ski gear, very close to central Wanaka and modern feel. Just don’t stay here in Winter!
