Great location just a couple of minutes walk into the town centre and the lake. Lovely staff on the front desk who were incredibly helpful. Room was a decent size with a fridge and kettle and had the added bonus of a balcony which overlooked the gardens.

Beth Ann, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I booked a suite and was glad I did. It felt very spacious and had a balcony with a (partial) lake view. The bed and sofa were comfortable, the wifi was fine, ans shower pressure/temperature good. I liked that there was a communal kitchen where guests could cook their own food, and that there was a communal laundry too (charged at low rates). This hotel is right in the heart of Wanaka, and I’d definitely book here again.

Great place, great people. A bit warm for my taste
The people were very nice, and the location was excellent. I really appreciated the parking in the middle of overloaded Wanaka - and the stunning views from our room. But it was too hot, and the instant coffee sachets were low quality. I even had a plunger provided, but no coffee to go with it. Having said all of that, I'd think about staying there again. It was originally a 1970's/80's THC complex, but has been well looked after.
