New Zealand day 2

Bastard of a mistake to book into Pounamu Apartments in Queenstown. I've got the cold and I really want to be well enough tomorrow to shoot a whole day wedding, so I spent most of the day in bed reading in my studio. Without the lake view I might as well have been cooped up in a flat in London for all I know. Crap. It's only this morning when I woke up that I realised what had gone wrong. I had read reviews of this place on TripAdvisor and I remember having read that "all apartments have lake view" which made me book it as the price was good. Well, apparently that particular reviewer was unaware of the existence of the studio apartments that DON'T have a lake view. Oh well. I asked what it would cost to upgrade to a room with a view, and was told $150 or something per night. What!? Piss off.... you can keep your stinking view.
