            Nice experience”

            We arrived late for our check-in however the host left a kind note on the main door for instructions to access our room. Eventually met up with the host and she was really warm & lovely :) The location offers a lovely view of the lake and the little window ledge in the room was our favourite spot. The toilet may look alittle retro but everything is working fine.

            Very convenient motel. Wonderful views of the lake. Room fairly small but we were there for only one night so was quite adequate. All amenities that you would need and comfortable beds. Walkable distance to the town and the lake foreshore. Would certainly recommend.

            We can see thewanakatree from our room. This makes the accomodation really attractive, the room was extremely big and we had a good time as we can to cook with the little kitchen. There is a queen and single size bed. We get to do laundry foc too. Thanks to the kind 🙏owner. We will definitely be back again.

            Great lakefront view and room is clean, nice and warm!”

            Nice lakefront view to die for. The room has stove for you to do light cooking. Beds are comfy. Everything else is clean, spacious and warm. The only downside is the parking outside of the room is right and you need good driving skill to park it. Else you may park outside but you have a steep path to climb.

            Stunning views”

            We were amazed and delighted at the stunning views at this motel - just gorgeous! A very quick walk down to the city hub with restaurants and shops and we also took part in the nearby frisbee golf course - lots of fun! The motel had a BBQ and outside eating area as well as a hot spa which overlooked the whole city and mountains - a fabulous evening dip. Would highly recommend and definitely stay here again!

            Beautiful lake views. We booked a studio apartment and loved the seating areas overlooking the lake. Less than 10 min to walk to town via steps. Great food places in town to try out. Walk around to wanaka tree is beautiful too.

            We returned here after a trip earlier in the year. We love this place, we travel as couple and brother/brother-in-law and the room for three, with the little loft for one person is an ideal. beautiful views, handy to town, kind helpful staff. My only suggestion is that it would be useful to have more than the strict 'one of every item' for plates and cutlery. a few extra utensils would be useful plus a couple more bowls/storage items. But a fabulous place, we loved that you had frisbees we could use for the course across the road. Thanks everyone!

            I arrived about 6pm so had a sign on the door to say which room I was in. Didn't see the manager at any stage but that was OK. Very reasonable rate for Wanaka at this time of the year.

            The luxury of sitting in your room or balcony to enjoy the sunset view in the evening! Motel was so clean! Food and amenities can be reached within 15-20 minutes walk.

            The room was very clean and had everything you needed. No nonsense type place which I prefer. Rhe lady who checked me in was really polite and helpful and gave me the info about where to find more info on the place e.g. wifi password. The room was big enough for 2. Rhe bathroom was big and there was soap and bodywash. The towels were super clean, I didn't encouter any stains or fraying on anything. Some of the tiling seemed dated but it added character and nothing was broken. Loved the film channel for my Monday night stay.
