Great location, lovely lake views, good food in the bar/restaurant and they were showing the rugby in the bar

The wind was very loud through the windows and balcony door, I understand that there's only so much that can be done during strong winds but it made it a bit more difficult to sleep

The rooms were clean and cosy and were very comfortable for a 1 night stay for our family of 4.

This property is 15 minute drive from Wanaka in a small township located on Lake Hawea. The location is lovely but we expected the location to be in Wanaka

Beautiful location! Amazing views!

No toaster or milk. Both are essential in my opinion. Never stayed anywhere where they were not supplied. I’d be happy to pay extra for them. The property was a bit run down. Needed a paint at minimum.

Great location. Friendly reception on arrival.

No sound insulation between rooms. Had a young family next door and had continuous sound through the wall. No milk or anywhere comfortable to sit in the suite. Difficult to raise issues with hotel after 6pm and before 8am.

"Fantastic views of Lake Hawea in a spacious family apartment"

9.0

The apartment was clean and spacious, with fantastic views of Lake Hawea. Check-in was easy, wifi was good and the beds were comfortable. We loved the balcony, even though it was too cold to sit outside. Overall, a great stay!

The walls were paper thin, so you could hear everything that was going on next door.
