“Delivered everything we expected for a great holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

Was pleased to find this place for a last minute summer holiday with our daughters dog in tow.We thaught it was going to be a problem finding a pet friendly property in Wanaka but not so.This place was great.Clean and tidy and if my wife said so you know it is.During our five day stay all the dogs there were not seen or herd .I think what also made our holiday this year was the weather was settled and sunny over the New Year period for a change no wind.There is a small pool in which I took a daily dip.Could have used a ladder as getting out was a problem for this old boy.

Manuka Cresent is in a quiet part of town within walking distance of lake and Lake Side walking track which is set up for dogs with water fountains and po bags for good dog owners.If you wanted to go to town you need transport as I think most people there did have.There is a great assortment of shopping in the Industrial part of town not far away so no need to join the ques in town.Try the Mediteranian Deli or butchershop with much more.Try Relish for a nice meal in town.

Room Tip: Just remember your paying 3 star prices and don't expect to find a five star Hotel

“Pet Friendly, oh wow oh wowie!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

Where to begin, I was so well behaved for ever since Owner mum and Owner dad went down to Wanaka and Queenstown last time and it paid off!!! I got to go too this time. Owner mum wanted me to have some fun on a holiday too so she found the Manuka Crescent Motel especially for me. When she was searching the interweb and making phone calls I made sure stayed close to her and helped all I could. I know how stressfull booking trips can be; I looked at the screen with her and sat by her and eventually she smiled at me and gave me the best cuddlehug, my tail did wag so many times.

We got there and a nice lady gave us free milk, how nice is that?! My room was nice and big with another small room inside it with a comfy big bed in it there were 2 smaller beds for 1 human each in the main room, where the couch and TV were, not that this mattered to me, I had my bean bag. There was a humans shower room and a toilet inside for them, I still had to go outside for my toilet, and I don't care much for showers, but all my human pack were happy, so I wagged my tail for them. All of the humans had towells, I did not and they could have coffee, different teas or hot chocolate to drink, made all the better for the free milk they'd been given. There were nice grounds for me walk around and I found a baby hedgehog so I told Owner mum and she moved him to safety, I'd seen cats about, you can't trust cats, I learned that lesson.

It was nice not to be right in the town of Wanaka, cos I get spooked buy lots of noises so this was just nice for me. The pack drove into the town which takes about 6 minutes, that's your human minutes, don't multiply it by 7, it's not necessary in this case. We could have all walked but the rain put some of the pack off this idea, I was secretly quite glad, I just hate the smell of wet human.

We had a nice time in the clean big room with small rooms inside it. I am now trying really hard to be just so very good that I can go on another holiday trip with the rest of my pack next time they go. Pet Friendly is the bestest, thank you.

Room Tip: They are so friendly on the phone so if you are not sure if looking online, call them, simples.

“Really good value accommodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 December 2011

This motel must be the best value in New Zealand, just $125 for a largish 2 bed apartment which was clean and tidy and had sky tv. It's a bit of a walk into town which we enjoyed and wifi was not available in our unit although I understand that it was in others. I would highly recommend this motel and will certainly stay there again.

Room Tip: Check that your room has wifi as not all do

“Basic but good value for money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

This turned out to be one of the cheaper motel stays but it is a little out of the town. Our unit was very clean and efforts had been made to refurbish the interiour, we had a lovely view of the mountains from our window. A healthy walk into town or a car which takes a few minutes. Overall, no complaints and good for those on a family budget.

“Excellent motel in beautiful town!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2011

We were really pleased with this well kitted-out motel. It was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a week's stay in Wanaka. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and it was easily the best value we found here (confirmed by the local iSite office). Fast Wi-Fi connection!
Highly recommended
