Review summary

Based on recent reviews

St James Apartments enjoys an amazing central location, placing you within a short walk of Queenstown's attractions, including the lake and shops. Guests frequently appreciate the spaciousness of the apartments, often equipped with full kitchens and laundry service. The convenience of having covered parking is a definite plus for many visitors. Some guests have noted that the parking spaces can be quite narrow, but the proximity to the town centre via a private path more than makes up for it, especially when the apartments also feature balconies with views of the teleférico and surrounding peaks.
