During the summer months in Queenstown, we can experience anything from mid to
high 20°C to the very exceptional day being over 30°C. It can then drop to as low as
5°C with snow on the mountain tops. Due to the nature of our climate the properties
are not equipped with air-conditioning units, as we spend most of the year warming the
apartments up - not cooling them down.
However, if you are experiencing warmer temperatures, we suggest you open windows
and allow wind-flow where possible. Keep in mind if you open the doors and windows
with all the lights on, this will attract insects.
Pull the blinds and curtains to keep the sun out. And turn off any under tiled bathroom
heating and heated towel rails and unnecessary lighting which all produce heat. There
are pedestal fans for air circulation – located in your apartment.
