Lovely location in a beautiful setting.
The rooms have no AC, but we managed because the weather was lovely and we could keep the balcony door and bathroom window open for a cross breeze.

Hidden gem on the lake with walking track and shops cafes and restaurants close by. Facilities were also great with spas, bikes available if needed. The hotel restaurant was really good with a great selection of wines and meals.
Would recommend a longer stay than 1 night...could have stayed a week.

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment, as we have done so in the past. The room is very clean and spacious. The location is brilliant and parking onsite was easy.

Beautiful hotel property right on the lake, in a quiet part of town yet still close enough to everything. Booked last night and was quite happy with my decision. Would definitely stay here again.

Ok for accommodation but eat elsewhere
Booked a Premier Suite for a one night stay. It was spacious, well equipped, had a comfortable bed and a very useful washer/dryer. Was hoping for a decent view of the lake, but we just had a glimpse as the room was facing towards the town and any view was obscured by trees.
The biggest disappointment was dinner and breakfast. Our main dishes for dinner was unbelievably salty. Breakfast was very below par for what is claimed to be a luxury hotel.

It is a nice location with mountains and lake views. The front desk staff are knowledgeable, especially Francis who gives us good advice regarding the local hiking. However the hot tubs are not working while we are there.

Relaxing accommodation next to the lake. We walked to That Wanaka Tree from hotel for less than 10 mins. The backyard with the view of lake is stunning, we even dis stargazing at night from the backyard.
