Loved this property, it was like home away from home in that all the essentials were there, clean, warm and comfortable and we were finally able to cook something to eat instead of eating out all the time.

Rather expensive for what it was but nice amenities and property manager was very nice. Main complaints are that the washer didn’t work very well and the bathroom smelled very musty.

Stayed in this conveniently located room selection for two nights. Perfect for walking to town for a wide variety of dining options and shopping choices. Fabulous views of the lake and mountains from the private balcony. Simple kitchenette and comfortable bathroom with shallow but appreciated bath integrated with a shower. Easy access for sightseeing and leisure activities. Parking close to rooms very convenient. Stairs only access to upstairs rooms but downstairs rooms available.

The Moorings was a great spot for our family to stay while in Wanaka. It is walking distance to everything that you could want to do in town and the apartments are the perfect space for a family to spread out a bit. Highly recommend!

Lack of head height above double bed not being advertised is unacceptable. The tariff was too high given this issue. Will not return unless the roof and ceiling are popped up

We reserved one of their 3-bedroom lakeview units because (supposedly) it was the only room they had left while we were in Wanaka The owner/manager had us sign a contract for a 3-bedroom - and prepay our entire stay - before he put us in a 2-bedroom until with a mostly obstructed lakeview. When we asked him to refund us the difference for taking a smaller unit, he refused. Don’t sign or prepay for a room here until you see it. The management has no integrity.

The motel has a great view of the lake . However, it is extremely tired , dented furniture , primitive bathroom, stains on walls and doors and not very clean. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. It was the worse accommodation by a mile on a month tour of New Zealand and was one of the most expensive. Only stayed one out of the two nights booked.

We loved every bit of our stay at this motel despite just staying for one night. It was so well maintained. The owner was pretty friendly and made the check-in really easy. They have a really adorable cat who loves his scratches. But the best part of the stay was the view of the lake. Simply beautiful. Loved it. I would definitely recommend it.
