          Comfortable stay”

          Manuka Crescent was located a bit further from Wanaka, might be a bit too far for walking but pretty much near if you have a car - around three-minute-drive. Check in was smooth, and the lady who greeted us happily explained on Wakana and checked the weather for our Roy’s Peak hiking the next day. Room was old but clean, and I have to say that it was one of the most complete room amenities during my stay in NZ. They even have a cloth hanger - which was very useful for us! Wifi is unlimited as well. The curtains though, needed some clean improvement as it had some musty smell on it. The daily cleaning was limited - they only took away the rubbish bin, but funny that they did not empty the rubbish bin in the bathroom. We also had a problem with the door entrance as the key just did not work out and my husband needed to sneak in through the opened window! Overall a comfortable stay, but a bit of improvement would be great.

          Great Stay!! ”

          Comfortable beds, clean and large rooms.

          My partner and I recently stayed here and had a great stay, if we come back to Wanaka i would love to rebook here again :) The staff were very friendly and even drove my partner to a wedding in town the morning of a wedding I was bridesmaid in, instead of catching a cab! Service was fantastic!! The beds were very comfortable, and the room in general was very clean and looked recently renovated. Generous servings of Tea, Coffee and Hot Chocolate (much to my partners delight) were provided :) WIFI with a capped limit was supplied (which we didn't even use all of). No negative comments come to mind when reviewing this motel, the only slight downside is that the location is out of town and a 10 - 15min walk to town....we didnt mind at all, was a nice walk!! However i would suggest catching a cab on your arrival with luggage, that was a tad painful to walk up a hill with heavy bags...but that was our mistake! BUT on a positive this ensures the motel is VERY quite and in a lovely well maintained suburban street :)

          Wanaka was a great place. Had our first fish and chips in New Zealand. Motel was easy to find with the help of our trusty rental GPS navigator. Had a unit besides the reception. It was a Twin Room. Receptionist was friendly. All motel/hotel in New Zealand, I think provides milk. And this motel was no exception. Milk was great. Bed was a bit to tad on the soft side. Visited puzzling world when we were there. Motel has internet and our unit a microwave oven.

          Clean and had everything you will need for your stay. They upgraded the room for us and we were thankful for it. Easy access to the town for food and supermarket. Rooms were warm especially during the winter when it was pretty cold. The balcony and kitchen had great views where you can sip your coffee and watch the sunrise and sunset. Must stay here if you are heading to Wanaka :) Thank you.

          We were served by one of the staff members who hardly spoke English. However, with his hand gesture and body language, also with his big smile, we received a very warm welcome and he showed us around the room. It was a really nice way to start our stay there and we would love to share that experience with everyone who would visit Wanaka.

          Location is okay, not too far to Lake Wanaka. Convenient for one night stay, room is spacious for 4 persons. But for the dining table, it’s only with 3 chairs, will be better to equip with 4 chairs as this room is accommodate for 4 persons.

          Staff, location, price

          We had no issues with staying at the manuka crescent motel. Staff were friendly, the place was easy to find. Well equipped kitchen. Would stay again for our next Wanaka ski trip.

          Good value lodging”

          Nice, clean and cool

          We stayed here for one night, The motel is in a quiet location quite close to town. The windows had been left open (for ventilation) and if the day had been cooler, the unit could have been quite cold. The unit had one bedroom with a single and king size bed and there were 2 single beds in the kitchen/living room. The kitchen was well appointed For some reason, the head of the king size bed was a foot or so from the wall. It was easy to push back into place but it was a bit odd. The toilet was hard to flush - it was a duo flush unit and both buttons had to be pushed down VERY hard before the cistern would flush. But in Wanaka the motel represented very good value and I would happily stay there again.

          Glad I Chose It!”

          For my purposes, this motel was excellent. This trip to New Zealand, I'll stay at, maybe, 20 motels/hotels. A couple of 4* hotels were, you could say, better quality but, for a self-catering (or eating-out!) motel, this has been the best so far. In brief, the staff, the facilities and the quality of accommodation will be hard to better. The motel is a bit out of town but I walked there and back with ease a couple of times. It's a scenic (20 minute?) walk too. However, for those with mobility difficulties, driving is obviously better.

          Good accommodation in a lovely town ”

          We did a road trip around the south island and Wanaka is definitely our favorite town. The hotel itself is also better than the average standard. The only downside I can think of is the location. It's close to town centre but not quite enough for a quick walk so we ended up driving in everytime. Luckily parking isn't an issue (like Queenstown) so not a big deal for us.

          We were driving around to spot for a place to stay for the night and we were warmly welcomed by the owenrs. We showed us to our rooms and we were pleasant surprised by how spacious and clean it was. We had a great two night stay at Wanaka. They also had a mini kitchenette for us to prepare our meals.

          Staff was nice although we arrived late in the evening. Good location, closed to Lake Wanaka and not too far (driving distance ~10mins) from supermarket where we shopped for the groceries. House is clean and it is valued for money.

          30 mins walk from motel to supermarket, but driving just 10 mins. Not recommended for non-driving travelers as the location is not at the town centre, and the streets are dark and quiet. Clean and spacious room, well equipped pantry for cooking simple dinner and breakfast. Parking is right outside the house.

          Good price and spacious units, very comfortable and exceeded expectation.

          We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of this motel unit considering the price, although away from the main centre it is a very pleasant 15 minute walk and takes in the lake waterfront track, the only improvement we could see was explanation of internet use on arrival as office had closed when we wanted to use it which was annoying at the time and inconvenient, we would definately stay here again.

          Reasonable value for money accommodation but requires own vehicle to access as 1-2kms from Wanaka centre. Kitchen facility is limited with microwave, refrigerator and crockery. Staff are helpful and now provide both Wifi and computer access.

          Plenty of space and very near to town

          This motel is in the midst of a neighbourhood. The owner greeted us warmly. Although the motel doesn't look that great from the outside, our unit was really very spacious. The toilet/ bathroom was quite big. The kitchenette was fully equipped and we cooked a good meal. The unit was very clean and comfortable. We parked our car under a porch right in front of our unit. We had a pleasant time and felt we were living in a house.
