Noisy and hot”

Had pretty high hopes when I booked this place. The facilities looked great, as did the location. And sure enough, everything looked great when I got there. Nice pools, modern facilities, and very friendly staff. Two issues made my stay unpleasant, however. Noise: it’s almost as though when the room were built, they decided to not bother with any sound deadening. I could hear everything going on it each neighbouing room. Sniffing, baby crying, microwave doors opening and closing - it was like it was all happening in my room. All normal noises, but they stopped me from getting to sleep, and woke me early. Also, why is it that Central Otago accommodation avoids any forms of in-room cooling? The room was hot, but had no A/C or even a fan available. With the noise from other units, I couldn’t leave my windows open, so felt like I was sleeping in an oven (ok, a bit of an exaggeration, but my room was bloody warm). A/C, or even a floor fan would have made a massive difference. It would also have provided some white noise to help drown out the other noises too. Nice facilities and staff, but crap night sleep because of poor room design. Wouldn’t stay again.

My room wasn’t Made up in 4 days ”

I enjoyed my stay as the hotel was mostly very quiet and the staff were really friendly. The bed and pillows weren’t very comfortable. Room was freezing cold when I checked in and very small. I had to keep the heating on day and night. Very nice staff, the hour long private bookings of the hot tubs were the best part about staying here and the only reason I stayed as long as I did. but I’m not sure if this will continue past the coranavirus pandemic.. My room wasn’t made up once in the 4 days I stayed here and I had to keep calling up for dry towels and for tea bags etc. this got very annoying after a long hike and you just wanted a hot drink. Once I waited over an hour and a half for tea and milk. The key card almost always didn’t work and I had to keep walking to reception to get it reactivated very annoying when the card had been nowhere near a mobile.

Great stay at Oakridge”

Pool area is fantastic! Staff were all very friendly and the hotel was modern, clean and well presented.

stayed one night at the grand mercure oakridge hotel. check-in was easy and effecient, they even let us check in an hour early. room was simple kingsize room with ensuite, but modern and very clean. bathroom was very nice. all the staff were helpful and very friendly. the pool area is lovely, and i can imagine would be very busy in the evenings after a hard day skiing! location was perfect for us as we went to a wedding literally across the road. it is possible to walk into wanaka township, although it might be a bit too far out for some people. i would definately stay here again, and would recommend it to others.

The staff were friendly and caring. lovely room with everything you could ask for. Great heating for winter. Love the pools and spa the reason I return to Oakridge nearly every time for over the past 10 years. My only negative is the lack of ambience in the restaurant and bar. Shame they closed the upstairs. Just add a fireplace and some lounges. It would make such a difference. Perhaps the house guests might be more inclined to spend their $ instead of going down the road. Pina colada was good.

Oakridge Hotel was very nice, but right on the outskirts of Wanaka, needing your own car to get to Restaurants etc. Would recommend more as a retreat rather than accom for Wanaka. Though it was noisy - we could hear our chinese neighbours very clearly. Overall though, nice place with fabulous pool area with 7 hot spas and 3 lane lap pool.
