    We were amazed by the location near the lake with clean air, nice ambience in the Hotel Restaurant, with good food! I should have reserved 2 or 3 nights there. We booked 3 rooms all of us enjoyed it. Can swim, water activities and more.

    Wanaka is the most beautiful place to visit

    Wanaka is the most beautiful place to visit The views of the lake and surrounding area are really stunning. It’s seemed a really peaceful place with just enough to do. Plenty of eating out places to choose from and many activities and places to visit. We will definitely be back.

    A wholesome town just outside of Queenstown.

    A wholesome town just outside of Queenstown. I could've stayed here weeks. It was a great location to be based at for Roy's Peak Summit, more hiking and days spent by the lake. Bonus activity was a dinner and movie night at Cinema Paradiso. A really lovely town with a very live-able atmosphere.

    Wanaka itself is a lovely spot.

    Wanaka itself is a lovely spot. It was lovely without being too much of a tourist trap. The art gallery I visited was very good, and the two local restaurants also good and reasonably priced. The staff at the Thai restaurant were especially friendly and helpful. I wish I had stayed long enough to drive out to a few places from Wanaka.

    Very Friendly Hosts that came round to welcome us. the property is a self contained annexe to the house and private with its own patio and BBQ. felt very homely after travelling round NZ staying in motor inns and hotels. property had good nformation about things to do in wanaka and books on NZ. it had a washing machine so we were able to do our laundry (at no extra cost). It had all the facilities you would want. was so good we wanted to stay for a few more days, but unfortunately it was already booked.

    The apartment was amazing. Very homely. very quiet location. Loved the proximity to the Cardrona Hotel (2 min walk), we had more than 1 exceptional meal there. The apartment had everything you could possibly want and then even more. excellent for self catering. The layout was exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed the stay. We went into Wanaka most days for activities which is only a 15 minute drive and the drive is very easy. Plenty to see and do in the area. Thanks.

    Amazing location, can not be beaten. Wānaka is gorgeous and you can walk to everything from this hotel. My daughter loves the lake and playground which is less than a 2 min walk. The Mexican place was really nice next door. The laundry was excellent we did all our washing easily. The communal kitchen was great for extra bowls and forks etc. the green space outside was excellent for our 4 year old.

    The motel was exactly what we needed, we were a parent and two kids there for a winter skiing holiday. The motel was quiet, warm, clean and had the basic kitchen facilities we needed, to have a breakfast or make a snack. It represented good value for money. The reception staff were friendly and helpful.

    The standard of this hotel was much higher than we expected. The room was immaculate, well furnished and spacious. There was plenty of parking and only a 5 minutes drive from the lake front and the famous tree. The guy in reception was friendly and helpful.

    Lovely hotel in a perfect position. Loved our room and its autumnal outlook over the golden poplars to the lake. Delightful walk into town. We would certainly stay here next time we're in Wanaka (this was our second visit). Enjoyed dinner on our last evening.

    The rural setting was beautiful. Waking up to SILENCE was FABULOUS !! Unlike staying in a motel or hotel .... there was no-one else to make noise or interrupt your stay .... THAT, made it all wonderful. We would stay again and recommend it to family and friends.

    Great location, walking distance to village centre of Wanaka or other parts if you want to explore. Lots of good walking trails nearby. 2 pools and gym facilities. Comfy beds and having your own garage and washing machine etc is very helpful.

    Our room had a beautiful view of Lake Hawea. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. Our meal at the hotel restaurant was good. The hotel gave us 2 vouchers for a beer or wine at the restaurant.
