    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.

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.

    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.

    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.
