Convenient location. Reasonable price. Cooking facilities & preparation area could be better. Limited crockery etc. Outside area & furniture in poor condition. OK for an overnight stay but not ideal for the 7 nights we were there.

We booked last minute as our travels changed and we got a huge room for a very reasonable price for just my husband and I. The woman who checked us in was very kind and helpful running through the property details because the front desk was not open 24/7, only in the afternoon. But she said if we needed anything in the morning to find her because she would be around cleaning the rooms. Our unit had a full kitchen and fridge, lots of dishes and glasses to use and 2 full balconies to enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. It is one block from the lake and main strip with all the restaurants and shopping. There is a grocery store, New World that is right over the back, super convenient. Can't wait to visit again!

This is an older motel. Broken door knobs, microwave didn’t work, 2 burner stove was in poor repair, broken lights and bare bulb lighting fixtures. Building creaked and popped all night long!

The unit was very comfortable. Our only concern was that we were not aware of the loud expansion noises that comes with a lockwood-type home. Had we been aware of this, we would not have booked. Plus the walls between units need better insulation as we had to put up with conversion next door at 1am for about 1.5hrs.

Great location in Wānaka for walking, shopping, groceries, and dining. Spacious balcony at our room with nice view for an evening drink. Area was quiet after 10:00 pm. With some street noise before that (we were there on a Friday night). Nicely stocked kitchen, but bathroom was stocked with only hand wash soap dispenser at single (body wash?) dispenser in shower Used our own shampoo, conditioner, and body balm. Room had unique “ski chalet” appearance with wooden planks on walls and ceilings, Great look, but apparently the warm day and cool night, the result was a “popping noise” of shifting planks. If you are light sleeper, this is not a good option for you. Overall, a pleasant stay for us.

The room had a sink to wash cups etc but it drained in to the overflow of the bath/shower tub causing the water to flow in to the bath/shower tub leaving black bits in it - yuck!! One of the wall lights was held on with electrician's tape and another had no glass cover. The mattress was lacking in padding so not a very comfortable night. The shower also had a constant drip which could be heard in the bedroom.

Moderately priced room with basic amenities and a great location - just a block or two from the lakefront park, restaurants, and shops. Nothing fancy and a bit dated, but just what we wanted for our night in Wanaka. Nice to have a kitchenette.

A pleasant Alpine- like room and building in a great location. Close to supermarket, main street shops and lakeside walks.We were upgraded to enjoy a great mountain view from our balcony. Room and amenities very good. Only slight problem, found TV system impossible to navigate.

The room we got had wooden walls, which means lots of screech noises- all the time!!! This was extremely disturbing at night as it woke me up a few times, and thus didn't get a proper sleep. In addition, the room smelled funny- not because it wasn't clean but because of the wooden walls (that's what I assume). In addition, it was the only place, out of 13 I had booked on my trip, where there was no milk in the fridge left for us which was pretty annoying. Moreover, the heating and cooling appliances were noisy and I preferred just not to use them a lot. The only good thing about the place was the location- close to the lake. But there are other places located near the lake too. In short, I will never book there again.

The location of the property is perfect. Free parking onsite. Laundry facilities were very convenient. One unique issue about the property is that it is a wooden structure built without nails, and therefore, when the wood expands or contracts, it makes noise. Very reasonably priced.

I thought it was really great value for money. A nice clean and spacious room with a comfortable bed. The only downside is the bath was too small to fit an adult and fairly old.

It is right in town so you can walk anywhere. Upstairs the rooms are quite dark (all wood) and very creaky and the walls were thin

Helpful and efficient check in with welcoming staff. Great location, just minutes to local shops, bars, restaurants and parks. Found our room clean and well presented. However, we were surprised when another guest opened our room door by mistake using their own key! We were disappointed to discover all rooms are not individually secured by the motel.
