          Great location”

          We loved this small family run hotel. It’s close to all amenities, but is in a very quiet corner up on the high side of the lake. Our ‘king studio’ room is roomy and very clean, with complementary tea and coffees. We will book again next time we come back to Wanaka, it’s value for money. If you out to do sunset photo shooting, late super is available at Lakefront bar and cafe

          We enjoyed our stay in Wanaka. It is a lovely little town with plenty choice of shops for outdoor wear and gifts. Plenty of choice for restaurants too. Wanaka Lodge was comfortable and clean. We did not take breakfast. The bedroom had limited facilities for eating but, otherwise, everything else was good.

          Good hotel with helpful staff”

          Compact room with comfortable bed, kettle and mini fridge. Easy walking distance to town, has a guest lounge with views of the lake. Was a little difficult to find without GPS, because it is located on a street that doesn’t run all the way through. If you on the wrong section of the street, you run out of street numbers, then you have to go down another street, along and back up another to arrive at the correct location. Staff were very helpful.

          An OK stay”

          We were here 3 nights for skiing. The Lodge got the basics right but there were a few niggly things that made me glad when we left, which is a shame. The room was quiet, the bed was comfy, and it was nice and warm. They made up the room each day which was great. However, the room was a bit on the small side so we were kind of on top of each other. The bathroom looked a bit dated, the shower door was all clanky and slammed a lot, and the fan made unnecessary noise which got annoying, the TV was very old and small with only 5 channels and no TV guide. I know these are minor niggly things but they all add up to take away from the great things the Lodge does. They could also be fixed relatively easily, a new TV isn't much, fix the shower door.

          No after hours checkin. Which caused us to cut down our plans.

          Decent stay”

          Decent stay at Wanaka. Location was quite near central town, but is at the end of a road which was abit of a hassle with tight and limited parking space. Got upgraded to a bigger room, and was spacious and decently clean. Wifi signal in room is weak thou unlimited. Signals are strong at the common areas.
