We didn't plan to stay in Wanaka but thank God we did. Turned up on spec and the owner could not have been more helpful. Very comfortable tidy room and great location to walk to everything you need to walk to. Recommendations were perfect and had the best meal in New Zealand that we might not otherwise have found.

We stayed here overnight and found the room to be well equipt,clean and comfortable.The gentleman at reception was very helpful,giving us information about things to do whilst in Wanaka.We were close to all the amenities, Perfect!

We stayed here 2 years ago, and returned because of its central location (close to shops, restaurants and the lake) and its VFM. We found the place under new management, who'd done a good job in making the rooms lighter and brighter. The motel rooms are large, with a well equipped kitchen. The staff did their best to make us... More

We phoned ahead to secure a room and spoke to a woman who offered a studio for $130, and we negotiated $120. This was obviously not recorded on the reservation. On arrival we were asked for $140 by a man in reception We politely corrected him. His response was bad-tempered muttering while our credit card was processed, then a key... More

We looked around Wanaka fore the right place that suited us for a two night stay at a reasonable price and this is where we stayed. There was enough room for the two of us and the room was very clean and comfortable. We loved the location too because it is a short walk to the restaurants , the lake... More

We also had a balcony. Secondly, the motel is in an excellent location; 1 street back from... More

We originally booked for 3 nights but stayed for a 4th. Our itinerary took us away but we we enjoyed our stay so much we found time for another 2 nights a couple of weeks later. The hotel owner/manager could not have been more helpful, and we took up his offer to drive us 12 km out to Glendhu Bay... More

The room was clean and basic, albeit a bit old and rundown. Right next door to the supermarket. The lake and restaurants a short walk away. Some rooms would have a good view. Enough wifi for emails and bit of internet surfing. The building creaked at night which constantly disturbed our sleep. Like most places, the checkout time is 10am.... More

This motel was just a stop over, which turned into a several night stay! The lovely new owner gave great suggestions to fill up the day as well as a very good recommendation for dinner. The room was very spacious but warmed up very quickly once the sun went down. Also the central location could not have been better! just... More
