Spent two nights here and we were lucky enough to be accommodated in their townhouse! Great views of the lake and very homely and comfortable unit. Nice friendly folk running the motel too. More

This was a really nice motel with good facilities.  It seems to be family run, and I think a lot of skiers stay here.  While not the newest in decor, they run a friendly, clean ship and gave us a small container of real milk with check-in.  We purchased four hours of wifi for $8 and got decent reception from...

Often photos of accommodation look very nice on websites but once you get there, you'll realise that they just got the best angle, therefore, somehow giving you a feeling of being dececived. With Archway, I was happy with all sort of unexpected delights that welcomed us during our stay there. Our chalet is very comfortable, it got everything we needed,... More

We had an overnight stay here. We were pleasantly surprised by the neatness, facility and spacious rooms here. Topping that was the unparalleled hospitality of the host - Mrs.Bridget and her husband. They we kind enough to recommend a good Indian restaurant just few minutes away - 'Ashraff's Restaurant'. We had a great time here. We did not know the... More

I love the hospitality of this motel. Bridgit was very very helpful and provided us with great service and upgraded my family to a larger unit without extra charges. I definitely love the warmth of the host, showed us around the place and helped us with turning on the heaters, etc etc. Plus, she advised us on what we should... More

It is not often that the hosts will help you out with your washing. Their thoughtfulness meant that my husband and I could go and enjoy a lovely Indian dinner just down the road, early rather than late. This motel is also clearly well set up for summer and winter seasons, and the instructions set out in the various locations,... More

We stayed at Archway Motels in Wanaka for two days. The rooms were spacious, though they were basic. Location was perfect and the motel offered ample parking space. However, towels were worn-out and old, and had numerous marks. When we requested the management to replace the towels, we were told that these are bleach marks and the towels otherwise are... More

Welcome And thank you for providing highly valuable feedback. You were 100% correct about the bleach marks that were on those towels and this is a new problem which has developed with our new supply of luxury towels purchased. Each towel cost $30 whereas most commercial guest towels are around- $6-$10 each. We decided to invest in better quality, bigger... More

My wife and I, along with our 18mth old baby, stayed at this motel for one night on our way to Queenstown. It was well serviced, clean and ideally located near the centre of town. Of course, it is not an expensive motel and therefore you cannot expect to get the 5 star luxury offered by other newer places in... More

Lovely stay! Pleasantly surprised by our beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped self-catering two bedroom motel room which can comfortably accomodate 6 people. Wonderful and friendly service at the reception and the kids were kept entertained with the DVD's that can be borrowed from the reception counter. The lovely room and the warm service more than made up for the fact that... More
