Excellent location, clean bight room and very comfortable.”

We overnighted here whilst travelling the South Island. Wanaka is a wonderful town to visit. There is a plethora of restaurants and shops to visit. The hotel was convenient to walking into town, the staff were friendly and helpful. Our only complaint would be that the WiFi is a little inconsistent and weak.

Value for money”

This is my second time staying at this hotel. I won't say this is a proper hotel but a nice hostel with an individual bathroom in room and a shared kitchen in the ground floor. Everything is simple and good. There are adequate parking spaces behind the hotel. The only minus is the air-con does not work. The air ventilation is really bad that we could not sleep well at first. Thankfully, there is a mini fan in room which it helps a bit.

Great stay in Wanaka!”

We stayed at Wanaka Hotel for 2 night with a 7 months old baby. The location of the hotel is perfect, within a short stroll from the lakefront and all the shops and restaurants around. There's a little supermarket just across the street and a bigger one a couple of minutes drive away. We stayed in one of the lake facing rooms and we love our view! Our room had clearly been renovated recently and it had all the amenities one could hope for. However the hotel itself is a bit dated and it shows, for example in the fact that there's no lift available. Kitchen and laundry are available to guests and there are a couple of restaurants and a cafè within the hotel. The staff at check in was super helpful! Would love to stay here again.

Nice central location”

We stayed for 1 night in the royal suite. The suit has 1 bedroom and one kitchen/lounge area. The bedroom had a queen-size bed and a single bed for our child. The room is dated in terms of furnishing and amenities; however, it is nice and clean. The hotel is centrally located and within walking distance of all the restaurants and shops. This appealed to us. Our room was also very quiet with a partial view of the mountains. I would stay here again.
