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.
4.5
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.

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!
4.5
Great location
4.5
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
4.5
Wonderful stay, centrally located to bars and restaurants with a lovely view of Lake Wanaka. Darrell was so helpful to us when we had car trouble too. Highly recommend!
4.5
Great place. Ideal location right next to the town centre with a great patio area with view of the lake. Very comfortable and spacious accommodation. Can highly recommend
4.5
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.
4.5
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.
4.5
It is very close do town. Nice lake view from the ground floor room. A bit noisy with the traffic outside.
Room equipped with basic facilities. Tv wasnt working. We felt a bit itchy duirng sleep (maybe bed buds?) Only staying for one night so not complaining.
4.5
Bit dated but very well located being within easy walk to lake front, shops, dining and all other attractions. Apartment had all we wanted and very comfortable. Great value for money.
4.5
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.
4.5
