Was Gäste sagen

Im The Moorings Motel and Apartments loben Reisende durchweg die Lage am See, die gute Erreichbarkeit zu Fuß und die schöne Aussicht, zusammen mit generell sauberen, komfortablen Zimmern und hilfsbereitem Personal. Es wird jedoch auch auf eine Mischung aus kompakten Studios und geräumigeren Apartments hingewiesen, die für Familien geeignet sind.

Viele Zimmer verfügen über Küchenzeilen oder Selbstversorger-Einrichtungen, Balkone oder Terrassen und eine Waschküche vor Ort. Parkplätze sind verfügbar, aber oft begrenzt oder ungünstig gelegen. Die Meinungen zum Service sind gemischt: Viele Gäste fanden das Personal freundlich und hilfsbereit, während andere von distanziertem Empfang und ungewöhnlichen Zahlungsgesprächen berichteten. Häufig genannte Nachteile sind an manchen Stellen veraltete Einrichtung, gelegentliche Geräusche oder Sanitärgeräusche, sehr feste Betten oder Kissen sowie mehrere Kommentare, dass die Zimmergrößen oder das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für den Preis enttäuschend waren. Es eignet sich für Reisende, die schlichten Komfort gegenüber Luxus bevorzugen.

Stayed in this conveniently located room selection for two nights. Perfect for walking to town for a wide variety of dining options and shopping choices. Fabulous views of the lake and mountains from the private balcony. Simple kitchenette and comfortable bathroom with shallow but appreciated bath integrated with a shower. Easy access for sightseeing and leisure activities. Parking close to rooms very convenient. Stairs only access to upstairs rooms but downstairs rooms available.

Loved this property, it was like home away from home in that all the essentials were there, clean, warm and comfortable and we were finally able to cook something to eat instead of eating out all the time.

Property is a little dated, but in a prime location and very walkable to everything in town. The balcony was great and the view was unbeatable.There is a dedicated parking spot for each room and additional parking on the street if needed. The only downside for us was the staff barely acknowledged us at check in or check out and were just very aloof.

The Moorings has a lot going for it. The location is excellent, right in town and just steps to the lake, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. We had booked one of the studios. It had amazing views of the lake and mountains, was very clean and had a kitchenette and a small balcony which was a great place to sit in the mornings with our coffee/tea. Our room had AC which we really appreciated on warm days. The staff were very nice and the room was very quiet despite being right in downtown. However, we felt like it wasn't a very good value for the price. We usually stay next door at the Lakeside Apartments. Those units are much bigger (huge luxury 1 BR apartments with full kitchens, in-unit washer/dryers, and large balconies/patios) for almost the same price: it's $375 NZD for a studio at the Moorings and $379 NZD for a 1BR apartment on the pool level (not as good a view) at Lakeside. Also, our room at the Moorings had a few quirks. The door to the adjoining room couldn't be locked so we ended up moving a desk in front of it. There's also some obvious wear & tear (marks in the bathroom and on the walls) and quirks (the bathroom sink is almost at knee level). In addition, they were not offering daily service to the rooms due to a staffing shortage. There is free parking but the lot was pretty cramped and took some careful navigating to get in and out of. Overall, the Moorings is a great option, just not at the price that we paid.

First impression upon check-in, greeting lacks warmth, appeared to be untrained in hospitality - or may be just can’t be bothered kind of attitude. Check out staff was someone else with laissez fair attitude. Staff were not rude. Property was spacious with steep stairs to upper level. Bathroom upstairs, shower closet/corner can only fit a child. Both bathrooms have heated tiles and water pressure was very good. There were children or a child next door who frequently run/stomp creating noise through common wall, even at night. Sheets appeared to be clean but I found bugs in my bed the morning after. Very good amenities for group/families. There is a common coin-operated laundry room. Good location, close to lake, restaurants and shops.

The Moorings is in a great location where you can walk to all the shops and restaurants. The condo was clean and comfortable but smallish for four people. It was really nice to have private parking and the staff were very helpful and cheerful to deal with. I would recommend this place if you want to spend several days in Wanaka!

When booking the Moorings I prioritised the lake view over other options that may have been cheaper and/or more spacious. The lake and mountain view from the room and balcony was certainly worth any premium, despite the road in the foreground, although a small table on the balcony permitting outdoor meals would have enhanced the experience. The studio room was smaller than other hotel apartments we booked on our trip but was perfectly adequate and to a good standard (albeit not luxurious). The location is very central in Wanaka which is certainly an advantage.

The room was clean, location in proximity to the town was great and it certainly met our need. However, the reason for my rating was the price, being one of the more expensive hotels we stayed in yet the room was quite small. Pictures on-line were deceiving, yet perhaps there are better equipped and spacious rooms available other than Room 6 that was arranged for us.

We reserved one of their 3-bedroom lakeview units because (supposedly) it was the only room they had left while we were in Wanaka The owner/manager had us sign a contract for a 3-bedroom - and prepay our entire stay - before he put us in a 2-bedroom until with a mostly obstructed lakeview. When we asked him to refund us the difference for taking a smaller unit, he refused. Don’t sign or prepay for a room here until you see it. The management has no integrity.
