Megan
Great little place, a bit of a walk from the main hub of Wanaka, but felt quiet and peaceful. The place was spacious and clean, with great scenery around. Had a nice little patio and green space. Kitchen was adequate and had enough to cook simple meals. We had a great stay!
Debbie
Enjoyed a lovely overnight stay here. The room was clean and tidy, and the staff were helpful and friendly throughout. A great stay overall — would happily come back. 😊

A nice place to stay away from the bustle of Wanaka township but still an easy drive or walk. Has everything you need to self cater and is like a home away from home.

kerry
Nice motel. Had everything you could want. Hot shower. Situated off the main road
maeve
Very easy check in, nice sized rooms.
Richard
The property was lovely and our stay and Wanaka was great. The only gripe that I have is the office is only open certain hours and when you get there a bit
early, there is no opportunity for you to maybe check into your room if it is already clean.

Vicki
The staff were great the room is a good size the beds are really comfortable and the bathroom had been recently renovated so was very nice.
robert
Parking was easy, staff friendly. The 'donation' laundry works well.
Our only issue was with the shower/bath which didnt drain properly and my son was showering in someone elses hair that had come up the drain hole.
Probably not the motels fault although they did have a note mentioning that the toilet was prone to blockage (presumably if too much is stuffed into the bowel)

Unit was spacious and spotless. Staff were excellent, friendly and very helpful.
Dee
Rest assured under new ownership & new management. I had booked then read previous/older reviews & had a wee panic! But WONDERFUL new team, Spotlessly clean with very comfortable double (queen+) bed. The 2 other single beds were in the open lounge/dining area. Kitchen is well thought out for cooking (2 hotplates & Airfryer) & utensils, including usual electric jug & toaster.
Staff were excellent, Manager was extremely helpful & 5 stars for customer service.
Stayed 1 night - We had 2 nights in Wanaka but wished we had both here. Parking right outside your room, Walk to town in 25mins

Heli
Beautiful view from the window and nice residential area, calm but walking distance (about 20min) from the city center, the room was spacious and clean, parking on the site free. Well equipped room.
Sharon
Blockout curtains are definitely needed…. We couldn’t sleep as soon as the sun was up it was like daylight inside… it’s a bit far out town if you want to walk. White sheets and towels were nice and soft which is high on my list.

Only thing that was glaring would be the wifi data limit of 30 mb per connection and TV Freeview wasn’t working. Watching any OTT or streaming content was constrained coz of this 1990 style data limit.
Wai Shun Wilson
Good motel with reasonable prices, short drive to town centre. No complaints
Kenneth
Staff were friendly and helpful, recommended the local feeds! Room was spacious and had a lot of amenities such as airfryer, hot plate and cooking necessities. Reception had lots of extra equipment available to borrow for the day, e.g. discs for disc golf, hiking poles and games.
Christine
Friendly staff, comfortable unit, clean , handy location
Suellen
Very clean & good beds, but extremely poor water pressure; hot water cylinder whistled when any unit used the water. Also, TV issues with connectivity & couldn’t log off at the end.
jamie
comfy enough, but the heating struggles to get the room warm, even after an hr or two.

Russell
Good
Clare
Low rating as we didn’t stay here, changed our minds. Drove in and straight out and took a hit on the cost. Looked run down and further out from town/lake than we wanted. We went to the wonderful Belvedere apartments instead which was well worth it.
Nancy
What a perfect quiet place a little outside of town but close enough to walk. We enjoyed having a little balcony
David
Property a short drive from town but the room was modern with full facilities. Plenty of parking and quiet location..

Carol
Manager did not like that I’d booked via an online booking site. This motel is very rule orientated. The unit was not serviced other than removing rubbish. Unit appeared initially to be clean though with a heavy smell of air freshener. Mould in shower. Cooking facilities were an air fryer and an electric frypan which was badly in need of a clean. However the bed linen was fresh and clean.
No individual toiletries or face cloths provided.

Great Stay!!!
Andrea
Even though it states sound proof rooms - they are certainly not. Can hear everything from people in room next to you showering or running a tap, people outside walking, and a dog next door barking. Also penalties apply for travelling for business, which is fine however there is no mention of this until after you have booked your non refundable booking
Chandler
Nice stay at this motel in Wanaka. We stayed in the two bedroom - the beds were comfortable, the kitchen had basic utensils (as well as Teas and Coffee), but no cooking oil. The laundry was really convenient and nice - cost $5 for one load (both wash and dry). Staff were really friendly and helpful! I would stay here again and would recommend it!
PETER
This reservation was cancelled on 13/02/24, which is when we requested a booking. Manuka said they had cancelled this. I see a charge has been raised and demand it be reversed.
Wuhua
The unit is very clean and has everything we need
Sylvia
Clean well appointed motel near town and lake.
Brendon
Hotelier cancelled booking!
The hotelier lectured my wife twice over the phone on using Expedia to book, stating we should be supporting NZ businesses by booking direct, and not sending money offshore to the US.
On arrival, I had to listen to the same spiel, and also that he had cancelled our Expedia booking, as discussed with my wife, which was an outright lie!! She did not authorise him to do so.
He also rebooked our room direct so he didn’t have to pay fee’s to Expedia (hoteliers words).
He discounted us a few dollars less than our Expedia cost…wow!! Because of this we have now lost loyalty rewards of around 4-5 times the value.
We travel a lot, and always book through the app, but we shouldn’t have be confronted over how we book. We don’t have time to ring around trying to find available rooms; and we shouldn’t have to justify why we book the way we do either.
We will not stay here again, nor will we recommend.
If planning on booking through the app to get rewards, I wouldn’t bother as you probably won’t get them!

Room and furniture smelt like cigarettes and ash tray outside was full, curtains were torn.
Anton
No one at reception when we arrived, notice on door “ be back shortly”. Rang phone number on the notice, no response for 30 minutes, staff member was inside but forgot to take notice of the door. Unit was small, bed not made up properly chairs uncomfortable. Bed very hard, club chairs. Room looked tired and needs an update, not value for what we payed. We do not recommend this stay.
Patricia
Nice place. Friendly and helpful staff. But the beds were hard.
Verified traveler
Great little place in great location
This fit our needs just fine. Kitchen was adequately supplied. Beds were comfortable. Not fancy and maybe a little higher than our other south island hotels but a good place
Scott
Mike the owner/manager was super helpful and the place was very comfortable and clean. Very clean.
Dawn

Allowed us to check in a bit early as room was readt

Sue
The room was a cabin, lean too. Not what I would expect from a motel in Wanaka. When the owner saw I had booked through Expedia, he said ‘Nasty’ which I thought was a bit unprofessional.
Verified traveler
I think this is possibly the worst motel I have ever stayed at! The young woman who greeted us on reception was friendly and that was about the best thing about this place. She asked us if we wanted to swap our room as it had a sloping ceiling so we 'upgraded' to a double room. However as it was a very cold and overcast day, the room was freezing cold, very dark and inadequate heating. The rooms are very tired and old fashioned with no redeeming features. The kitchen was very basic, and not that clean. The bathroom was an icebox and the shower a real danger as it is raised and has a raised lip on the shower tray which I grazed my toe on. The whole place was very dingy and dirty and we couldn't wait to leave the next morning. We left as soon as we woke up, it was too cold to have a shower and so we just got up and left. It doesn't even have a great location so there are no redeeming features and so many other better places to stay in Wanaka.
Verified traveler
Great location for an event we were attending close by. Room was clean and well set out with all amenities supplied very good value for money
Verified traveler
Good little hotel that is near to town. Very Quiet.
Verified traveler
Very basic motel but pleasant proprietor. No breakfast available so had to leave early and find sustainable in town

The motel was located close to the town centre and in a quiet street

It was a spacious room and the kitchenette was well equipped with basic stuff we needed. The bathroom needs a holder where one can place his/her toiletries. We ended placing our shampoo and other stuff on the shower floor. Nice and warm cozy room. All in all, it was awesome stay.

Nice motel, ok stay.
Comfortable beds and good shower (if a little touchy as tiny adjustments made a big difference). We were there on a very cold weekend and the built in heaters were not sufficient. However, the small radiator in the cupboard made the place just warm enough. The TV remote didn't work well and only one of our phones could connect to the internet - suspect the unit we were in (2) was a bit far from the router. It's up the hill a wee way from town and given the weather we always drove. An ok stay, but not really good value for money.

We left early as we had to get back home to our country before the borders were closed. We could not get a refund for the time we did not stay. It's an older style motel, shower pressure not very good, it's a bit out of the way, but the price charged reflects that.

This property was surprisingly good especially for the price! The full kitchen with hot plate was great for making a hot breakfast for ourselves and it's located in a nice quiet neighborhood very close to the town center. Staff was friendly and helpful.
