“The resort struck me as a balanced experience, where stylish alpine design meets Asian culinary flair at Me and Mee. I envision a place where one could easily spend a vacation enjoying spa treatments, though some may find the rooms themselves a little dated. Its lakeside setting also provides convenient water taxi access to Queenstown itself.”
