We were there before the pre-ski season rush and it is clear that the new management wants to impress. The kitchen and accommodations were clean and inviting and the kitchen was well equipped and well organized (including labeled fridge and pantry locations for each room). I appreciated that they had a dishwasher which saved time in the kitchen and made me feel the dishes were actually clean unlike some other shared kitchens I’ve used. Great location as well- walking distance to the lake front and also right on the way to the ski area/hiking trails.

Unfortunately, we were unable to fully utilize the facilities because we checked in after dinner and checked out before breakfast. The staff carefully explained how to use the facilities when we checked in, and they seemed very convenient. Each room had a refrigerator and pantry space, which seemed very comfortable. The shower rooms and toilets were clean, and the shared spaces were comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful lodge/hostel. Everything you need. Property owner is very friendly and gave a wonderful tour upon arrival. Only drawback is that it is a bit out of the downtown area (~2km)... still walkable and a pleasant walk at that... but just a note for those who may have mobility issues and no vehicle. Totally recommend!

I couldn't fault this place. Spotlessly clean and uncluttered. Even when the lodge was full it never felt crowded because there is plenty of space in common areas, while still feeling cosy. Kitchen was large and functional. Never had to wait for bathrooms or shower. My room was upstairs where there is only 2 rooms, as opposed to off the main hallway where the majority of rooms are, so I can't comment on noise overnight from neighbouring rooms. The managers here are friendly and do a fantastic job of maintaining the lodge and grounds to a high standard.

Great little budget-friendly place in Wanaka! Was so good I had to go back the following week.

Quaint little lodge with excellent facilities & super well-organized, kitchen is particularly well catered, and the staff are lovely.

Couple minutes up the road from town, but well within walking distance still (they even have bikes you can borrow), and conveniently located on the road out to Mt Aspiring National Park - very close to some local attractions such as Roy's Peak, Wildwire Wanaka, Diamond Lakes etc.

Would absolutely recommend and will probably be my place to stay each time I'm in Wanaka now!

Clean, clean, clean! Comfortable, warm, beautiful staff! Just perfect. We only stayed one night and moved on to Franz Joseph Glacier.

Wonderful budget hotel in Wanaka

I loved my stay at Altamont Lodge. The rooms are simple and small, with shared bathroom and showers, but everything is spectacularly clean and it's all very comfortable. The location is very close to Wanaka center and there is easy access to the beautiful pathway around the lake. The shared kitchen facilities are enormous, well organized, excellently equipped and kept sparkling clean. There are marked shelves in the fridge and pantry for each room. The owners are pleasant and helpful. No noise problems at all. I only wish I could have spent more time here. The wifi was not great, but not terrible, either. You do have to be alert to the cleaning closures for the kitchen and bathrooms at 10 AM.

Good budget friendly accommodation

We stayed here for 2 nights recently. The beds are comfy and the facilities are clean. Helen, the manager of the place is lovely and will assist in any way she can. The only drawbacks were the locks on the doors were quite old and noisy and the door was not very soundproof which was a bit annoying early in the morning - but most guests were considerate and tried to be as quiet as possible. Also the wifi connection was not good unfortunately. Everything else was great, and for the price you can't complain! I would come back :)

Ideal Place to stay

The lodge is has a wonderful garden and a beautiful kitchen. The rooms have wood panels that really remember a chalet. Everything is clean and there are signs marking that after 9:00PM the guests have to be quit.

But the reality is that in my stay here the guests also took shower after 0:00 AM and some of them spoke with loud voices in asiatic languages in the corridor and in their rooms till 2:00AM. For me not the best choice for sleeping and stand up early.

Great facility

This is a small (12 room, I think) lodge with an excellent, well equipped kitchen, eating area and common area/lounge. We had a great stay. Only issues is that they close the kitchen and bathrooms/showers from 10-11 everyday for cleaning. Not a problem for us because we were up and eager to head out for activities but can be problematic if you’re looking for a more leisurely start to your morning.

Lovely place

Excellent location, quite and not touristy at all. I was really well rested there, shared bathroom is very clean, kitchen is spacious with everything that you need. It is about 30 mins walk to town, on the way to town you can see the famous Wanaka Tree, Lake Wanaka. There is a Rippon Vineyard which is also walking distance from the property. I enjoyed to wake up in early morning, have a morning walk on the Wanaka Mt-Aspring Road, that was very refreshing.

Small size studio, but rates are higher

We booked studio for 4 persons in family. The size of studio is very small. And in addition to that the toilet and bathroom was outside. It's very uncomfortable to go out in common bathrooms. , particularly in winter. All other things are excellent. Common kitchen is huge. Lobby and hall are good.

A smaller hostel experience

A very pleasant 1 night stay for 2 families of 4 in 2 family rooms. Kitchen well equipped and laid out complete with dishwasher. Quiet and beautiful location not too far from central Wanaka.

Clean and comfortable

We had a good stay, nice location and a great bed. The kitchen facility is fantastic, we were impressed. However, we were unable to use the WIFI, later in the evening (night) and concluded that when more people tried to connect, the poorer it got.

Best stay I had in NZ

Helen and Jim were exceptionally welcoming, friendly and helpful. Knowledgeable and good advice about what to do and see.My first overseas trip, and this, at the end of journey, made a lasting, positive impression.

Mountain experience in the valley

This is a lovely mountain-style lodge in the town at the base. It has wonderful staff who were really helpful and with good advice. The lodge manager (?) Helen is warm and friendly and makes everyone feel at home. Her lateral thinking has definitely helped make my stay a great experience. And that is even not taking into account her helping me with my knee injury towards the end of my stay.
The lodge itself is not luxurious, but it doesn't pretend to be. It has all one needs on a country/outdoors holiday. Rooms are clean and comfy, the lounge and dining areas are a lovely place to socialise with other likeminded souls :-).
