Oakridge Resort Lake Wanaka

Not walking distance to town average room, minimal room amenities, shower was in the bath

Unit 14 had water ingress damage that was unsatisfactory. The bathroom layout was poor with a pedestal basin unable to be used for face washing due to a glass shelf immediately above it. The mirror was not above the basin meaning any shaving was unsatisfactory dropping water on the floor. The water damage to the door frames was disgusting. The towel hook was so small it could barely hold a face flannel. I am happy to provide photo images if you request it from me.

Meal and staff were great but the room was very disappointing. Be aware there is a door joining the next room, with no sound filters. We could hear everything that was said during the night as though the people were in our room, plus we were woken by their personal alarm when it went off at 6.50am. There was 1 wall heater, that did not heat the room and no electric blankets. We found this very surprising & disappointing for a winter resort. Staff did give us a $50 refund and complimentary coffee in the morning due to our disturbed sleep as we had specifically said when we booked in, that we needed a good nights sleep.

The staff were responsive to our needs.

A great place to book the team into for Business travel.

The property was very good to accommodate ten ladies. There were a few maintenance areas needed.

The room was clean but the bathroom was tiny with a shower that seemed to be missing any pressure at all. The hot pools are the stand out here and they were lovely but I probably wouldn't stay here again as it was quite expensive for a very average experience. The restaurant was closed so I can't comment on it.

Clean and spacious apartment

Great place to stay

We had an enjoyable time here and would return. However, there were a few areas that should be addressed. - As others have indicated, the WiFi is basically unusable. I had to use my phone’s hotspot as the WiFi speed was so poor. - One of the bathrooms in our two-bedroom apartment smelled very strongly of cigarettes. Every time we ran the water, the smell was stronger. Maybe someone put cigarette butts down the drain? This remained through our stay even though we ran the fan and had the window open. - The main door into the room from outside is frosted glass but has a 3cm clear border all the way around. There is no blind or curtain that can be closed and nothing blocking the view to the bed or bathroom. This means that neighbours walking by could catch a glimpse of more than they bargained for. A side effect of not having a curtain or blind on this door is that at night, you can’t have a completely dark room as there are porch and carpark lights that come in the door. - Two of the hot pools were out of order and one of them was open but only lukewarm. This meant that we had to wait for someone to vacate one of the working pools for us to use it. Side note that none of the spa pools had bubbles/jets which would have greatly enhanced the experience.
