About
St James Apartments
St James Apartments sits on Coronation Drive, a 7-minute walk from the Queenstown Lakes District Library and a few minutes' stroll from the gardens, waterfront, cafes and galleries. Despite the central position, guests describe the property as surprisingly tranquil, helped by a guests-only shortcut across a little bridge into the central city.
The property has 21 rooms across various configurations, from studios to four-bedroom apartments, most with balconies and some with fireplaces. All rooms include tea and coffee facilities, a flat-screen TV, and a washing machine or dryer – useful for longer stays. On-site parking is free, and the front desk can arrange tours and tickets.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Central but quiet setting — A few minutes' walk from the waterfront, gardens, cafes and galleries, yet guests note it is surprisingly tranquil – helped by a guests-only shortcut across a bridge into the centre.
- Spacious, self-catering apartments — Most rooms have balconies, kitchenettes or full kitchens with tea and coffee facilities, and in-room laundry – practical for longer stays. Several guests highlight the roomy living areas and comfortable beds.
- Free on-site parking — Parking is available on site at no extra cost, which several reviewers call a significant advantage in a town where parking can be challenging.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities score is modest — Guest ratings for facilities are lower than for other categories, so expectations for communal amenities should be adjusted – the emphasis is on the apartments themselves.
- Check-out is early — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, but check-out is at 10:00, which may feel rushed for a relaxed morning – though some guests report a late checkout being granted on request.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so it is not suitable for travelling with a dog or cat.
- Value rating is average — At the given price point, guests rate the value at 7.9 – solid but not outstanding – so it's worth comparing with other central options.

7.9Verified guest“We stayed in an executive one-bedroom for four nights. It was clean, warm and roomy, with a very comfortable bed. The location is brilliant for walking back after dinner, and there's a good coffee shop nearby for the morning. Would definitely stay again.”
7.9Verified guest“We got a free upgrade to an executive one-bedroom, which was a lovely surprise. The room was fabulous – couldn't have asked for more. Had a great stay and would return. Loved being so close to the shops and restaurants.”
7.9Verified guest“Very handy location in town, just a short stroll from the gardens, waterfront, cafes and galleries. Surprisingly quiet for a good night's sleep, and I liked the guests-only shortcut over the little bridge into the centre. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was large and well lit. The hot water was properly hot, which is always reassuring.”
