Great room. Room service makes the beds but didn’t take the bin out. Not sure if they clean the room. Great location 5 minutes walk to town. 4 spots carpark at the front. But at the back which there was a walk way to the public carpark was plenty to park. 1 minute walk to the parking area. Breakfast included. The ceiling is made of wood making loud creaking sound. It would be hard to sleep through but luckily the other guests only do it in the morning or not too late at night. The water through the pipeline was very loud when turned on. Good size room. Staffs are nice. Laundry is expensive $10 for washing and drying. Other hotel was free washing and $2 drying.

It is hard to accept this is a 4 star property. Perhaps our room was not the same as others who rated this place much higher, but we had a King Room. I thought it would be much nicer than it turned out to be. The room and much of the facilities seem to need an update. Things seemed worn out. Our deck with patio furniture looked dirty. The finish was worn off of door handles. The towel rack holder seemed to have broken at some point and athletic bandage material was used to repair it! Parking was very limited. Staff were friendly and the outdoor seating area was very pleasant.

This was our third stay at Te Wanaka lodge, and we will keep coming back here whenever we visit. The room is cosy, clean, and comfortable. There is minimal space to lay out luggage and belongings, and the rooms are feeling a bit older and have some minor signs of wear and tear. Despite this, we still loved our stay here. The staff and owners are so lovely and we have always appreciated the warm welcome we have had here. Until next time Te Wanaka lodge.

Staff was nice and offered home cooked scrambled eggs and bacon and a nespresso machine as compliments to the room.

Adequate parking when the adjacent lot is included. Arrival check-in was confusing with limited parking around reception. Variety of breakfast options and access to hot tub were a plus. The biggest drawback was the lack of outdoor lighting. Steps at the front of property are challenging to navigate at night. Excellent location for nearby dining and shops. Large room with nice amenities.

Rustic. Delicious Breakfast. Central to Downtown.

👍 Like my review! We had a 2 night stay at \"Te Wanaka Lodge\" in Wanaka, New Zealand as part of our journey across the country. We chose the location because it was close to downtown, the lakeshore, eateries (including tons of food trucks), and even an awesome cinema. The checkin process could be improved since parking was difficult but earlier communication of a nearby public parking would be helpful. Nevertheless, the staff were lovely and kind showing us several of the rustic common areas (including a hot tub); then we settled into our room. Our room #2 had comfortable twin-sized beds and pillows, communal patio, desk with chair, accessible bathroom with key amenities (conditioning shampoo, body wash, hand soap, heated towel rack, ventilation, heating lamp, hair dryer), several outlets, television, iron and ironing board, and closet space. Since there's no private fridge, there's a communal fridge that is first come first served. There is also a washer and dryer on site for a fee. The internet can be slow at peak times but sufficient for email and navigation. The highlight was the delicious breakfast (included for a fee) where we had eggs Benedict with bacon on toast the first morning and scrambled eggs with bacon the second morning alongside a spread of bread, jams, peanut butter, museli (granola), yogurt, tea, and coffee! There was fruit in the afternoon along with coffee and tea. We would consider staying here again and would recommend it to friends and family.

Friendly hosts. Modest rooms but do not book if the breakfast is a selling feature for you. Bad coffee, undercooked bacon, white toast and canned fruit - felt like stepping back in time to the 80s when we didn’t know what a good breakfast could be. With so many good options near by for eating, focus on doing one thing well (good coffee!) and let that kitchen be for guest use instead.

We were moved into an apartment some way away from the hotel. The apartment was huge, and an upgrade on our room type for sure, but a long way from town with my 79 year old mother. It also meant that we had to drive to the hotel for breakfast in the morning, which wasn't particularly convenient. Breakfast was below par, limited in choice, things not topped up, and seemed a bit chaotic. You can have the one thing that they want to cook, but nothing else.

The room was clean and comfortable. However not having tea making facilities and having to go down to the dining room to make cup of tea was inconvenient. For what we got it was way overpriced. Maybe at a push $150.. per night not $212.00. I guess these are Wanaka prices!!!!

The main point was how helpful Alice was beforehand. I had to change the booking but couldnt with Expedia and Alice did it all and responded within minutes to all my emails. Great service. The place is great and lots of little thoughtful things to make a great stay. My only advice would be to ask for a room away from the road. The lorries start early.

Very nice place

The lodge was clost to the shops restaurants, and bars within an easy 5 minute walk (or ten minute stagger back!😃).
We both found the bed a little uncomfortable, and our sky TV remote didnt work properly. 1st world problems i know.
Overall though, the place was very good, with helpful staff, comfortable lounge areas, a lovely private spa pool which could be booked. Breakfast was really good, with a variey of cereals, stewd fruits, copious amounts of coffee and a cooked breakfast as well on top of that.
I would defintley recommend this place to visitors

The room was immaculate. The bed, so comfortable, the shower water pressure was brilliant, the cooked breakfast was beautifully presented and totally delicious. The staff were so accommodating allowing us to use their kitchen for filling hotwater bottles, and making flasks, (to take along to our daughters gym competition as the facility had no heating). I would definitely stay there again.

Placement of customers fridge , was out in the laundry, therefore any customer would have to walk outside the building and around the side to get any if there personal items, which is ridiculous especially at nightime.

Te Wanaka Lodge was a comfortable and good value place to stay. The rooms were clean and tidy. An excellent breakfast was provided and this time was spent with others exchanging thoughts and ideas about our individual journeys. Highly recommended.

Reasonable Choice in an Expensive Town

Effectively lodge accommodation in pricey Wanaka, well located for walking to dining options and shops. On-site parking was convenient. Drawbacks were creaky construction with noise from upstairs rooms, beds too soft for our tastes, and malfunctioning door lock..

Not sure why Expedia reviews are mostly positive, Expedia may needs to revise. Previous guest left feed back in a file which have not taken out by housekeeping, he rated below average. To be fair I’m giving an average, the place is dated and not well maintained , noise from street , noise from neighbors nearby walking and closing doors can easily heard and woke us up. Light bulb in the bathroom is out ,only heater lights work make it feels like sauna. Leaves on the balcony need to be cleaned. No coffee or kitchen utensils provided in the room that’s why breakfast is included but make sure you have to be there by 9am

Simple accommodation, convenient and clean. No kitchen and no access to laundry, but there was a fridge and hot water, so we didn't really need these services during our brief stay.

A good location and the eateries, shops etc are very easy walk, the reception people were great, helpful and friendly but we let down by the breakfast staff. The room was basic with few amenities and no fridge, safe etc but clean and functional and the buffet breakfast cooked section was scrambled eggs and bacon only no quite what was expected. Overall not too bad but would stay elsewhere in future

There's always a \"but...\"

The main problem with Te Wanaka Lodge is that although it ticks most of the boxes, each box comes with a but...
Location is good but - it's right on a main road with intrusive traffic noise late and early.
Rooms are well equipped but - they look dark and tired and fixtures and fittings are broken or don't work (bedside cabinet fell apart and bathroom light didn't work etc)
Beds are comfortable but - the walls and ceilings are so thin you can hear everything in the rooms adjacent or above you making sleep difficult.
Parking is available but - there are only 4 or 5 spaces so if you're the 6th person back you have to park in the public car park at the back of the lodge.
The staff are pleasant but - they disappear at 8:30pm so when you get back at 9:30 and find a problem there's no one to help.
It sounds like I'm being picky but at $350NZ a night I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a bit more than unfortunately I received.
