My family and I enjoyed our stay here. Each unit was self contained and had all the essential appliances. Made our stay even easier as we were able to cook. Also has a place to do laundry and an outdoor BBQ station. The pool was a lovely addition too! After a hot day the cool pool was a good way to end the day. So close to amenities and tourist attractions. About 15 minute walk from the city centre and lakefront. Beautiful area, will be back again to explore more. (Our only feedback would be regarding the bathroom door not closing properly. Requires abit of force to close and lock.) Thank you for your hospitality!

Wanaka is a beautiful place to visit. The motel was fine but not the nicest place we stayed while in NZ. Pool was small and not very clean. Parking lot gravel - not big deal but hard to pull suitcases around. Reception was friendly.

When staff are making up the bed they could take more care getting the valance on properly as this was hanging away over one side. More care in the toilet as the brush holder was very dirty and a lot of dust on skirting boards. But over all not bad for the price.

Absolutely disgusting place. Stains all over the carpet, it was like a crime scene. The shower temperature was inconsistent. The beds had no support. No AC, only cheap heater and fans. Sheets were questionable, kid woke up with pink eyes. How in the world did they get the high rating??!

Not that impressed to be honest. The bed was comfortable, the shower was good and the TV was a decent size, though Netflix only available with an account ( other motels have free access). But the room was very meanly equipped - a miniscule kitchen area with precious little in it. No hob, just a microwave. The sink was tiny and could only be reached once you'd banged your head on the shelf holding the microwave. No chair to sit on other than a hard dining chair, tiny dining table and aircon that gave of a smell of damp. Nor was there a window to open, only the glass door. I don't imagine people who want to feel safe and have some ventilation would fancy sleeping with this arrangement. I've stayed in much better motels on the South Island. This one just isn't very good

Room was ok, although it adjoined to another room with a locked door dividing it. We would hear the family very clearly in the adjoining room which was fairly annoying. Other than that it was in a good location, parking on site and relatively cheap

Adequate for a 1 night stay with a nice outdoor pool. It was a shame that the only 2 opening windows were accessible for entry to anyone outside the property with no grills or security. They therefore had to remain shut at night. The rear patio doors gave direct access to the main road and needed to be locked at all times.There was no air conditioning and only an electric fan. The carpet, decor and fittings although clean were very old and needed refurbishment. No breakfast offered with supermarkets and restaurants a 10 min walk away.
