Guest Reviews
- David (8/5): Clean and comfortable - Location, friendly staff.
- Mikaela (10/5): -
- Wendy (8/5): Comfortable motel within short walking distance to Wanaka high street. - Great location within walking distance to Wanaka lake, activities and restaurant district. Onsite parking.
- PRASANNA (6/5): - Location is good The rooms were very small. Uncomfortable to move around.
- Grant (8/5): Great place to stay with personal touch - Great location nice cozy compact unit clean and Pip the manager was outstanding .
There was a bit of an issue with the drainage and plumbing no fault of the motel when we arrived and Pip got it sorted out first thing in the morning within a couple of hours there was no sign of any issues .Would recommend staying here made to feel like a friend rather than a guest .
- Larissa (6/5): Was not up to expectation sorry. - The place was showing it's era,the bedrooms were very small,so you had to keep your luggage in the lounge. It was nice and clean though.
- Helen (9/5): -
- Gael (6/5): Disappointing but we were only there for around 12 hours overnight. - Had to check in late and owner messaged next day to see if we were okay. Very small pokey two bedroom place where we had to move the double bed in one room to open and close the door. Difficult to get hold of owner to confirm late check out was going to be okay.
- Erica (9/5): - I was only here for a few hours but the location was great and the room was a great size and had everything you may need for a comfortable longer stay. Wish I had more time there to enjoy. Check in and out after/before hours was super convenient too. Nothing not to like.
- Danny (7/5): -
- Aoife (3/5): -
- Carmel (10/5): Needed a longer stay in Wanaka to enjoy both the sights and this lovely apartment - Location was great and very well presented and well equipped apartment
- Jordan (10/5): Friendly, fantastic location, quiet, very warm - Fantastic location
- Shan (10/5): -
- buscuit (8/5): - 旅馆位于马路边,很方便找到。住于中心地段,无论是去湖边还是去餐馆和超市都很方便,步行几分钟就到了。冰箱里还为我们准备了一瓶牛奶。有免费洗衣机和晾衣区。入住时间灵活。 房间比较小,我们5人入住,行李箱无法在卧室展开,只能放在走道上。
没有提供洗发水。
有6间chalets,但只有4个停车位,停满时只能停在对面马路边。
比想象中离湖更远一些,隔了一条马路和一片大草坪。
- Patricia (9/5): - Location
- Lilly (9/5): Good experience - Great location. Walk to town shops and restaurants.
Room very comfortable and quiet.
Staff lovely and informative
- Batchelor (10/5): -
- Rutger (9/5): -
- jennifer (8/5): -
- Stephen (10/5): -
- Sandra (9/5): Wanaka View Motel - Great views, location and well equiped. Nothing.
- Rick (5/5): - Location Very basic with limited amenities for a significant price
- Jim (3/5): Small and poky with a Fawlty Towers style welcome. - Convenient for local facilities Greeted by the most unfriendly receptionist/ owner we met in NZ. Shouted at for parking in wrong place. Rooms were small and poky - the double room was so small the door wouldn’t close past the bed. Shower was dated - no mixer so potential to scald the user. Very much overpriced for such poor accommodation - by far the most expensive place we stayed and also the worst.
- Rob and Kerry Lejsek (10/5): -
- Sheryl (5/5): Great town. Disappointing accommodation. - No breakfast was ever offered or mentioned to us. Unit was old, bathroom had rust flaky away on the handles
Mattress on bed was old and lumpy. O fan was available and it was a warm night.
Never had any contact with any staff.
Laundry was locked early when it could have been used.
- XIN (7/5): - Full equipped kitchen 1. Unfriendly to guests and a little poor cat (it's unbelievable)
2. Don't have enough parking spot, if you go back later than other guests, you need to park on the other side of the road.
3. The curtain of the big window next to the entrance door is not thick enough, people outside the room can still see what happend inside.
- chun hsiang (6/5): -
- Małgorzata (9/5): -
- Larisa (10/5): Great place, great location, would love to come back! - Great place, great location, would love to come back!
- Carol (8/5): Great overnight stay but would have loved to stay longer - Good Location Nothing
- Kunche (8/5): -
- Lesley (8/5): -
- YING (2/5): - 客厅窗户都不能打开,整个房间很闷,特别是太阳大的情况下。晚上睡觉卧室里也不敢开窗,因为有蚊虫会进来,说是湖景房,其实隔湖还有一段距离。车位紧张。
- Li Fan (6/5): - 位置良好 洗手台太小,洗到一半沒熱水
- Gavin (3/5): Disappointing for $$ you are paying!! - Location was good, and good view Rooms were too small, bedrooms have nowhere to store your bags, main bedroom was tiny, TV was limited, for the amount you are paying I would expect some sort of Cable TV, Staff were nonexistent, no staff in the office just a note to tell you were to find key,
- Katelin (6/5): Great location ! - Property in fantastic location ! Walking distance from lake/water, cafes and restaurants! Also had no issues parking We stayed in the studio apartment, so could hear every footstep and sneeze from the people living on-top of us which became very irritating. We also stayed during summer and the days were warm, no fans available and only windows on one wall which didn’t bring in a breeze.
- Jackie (8/5): Great location, shame about bedroom sizes. - Great location, great kitchen area and lounge and bathroom. Easy check-in. Clean. The bedrooms were ridiculously small, our bed wasn't the same way round as the picture. I literally had about 8 inches to get round the bed, and my husband being over 6 ft his feet made the 8 inches even small for night time loo visits. You couldn't even close the door as it hit the bed. Luckily for us there was only 3 not 4 people. We had to have our cases in the lounge and our daughter put hers on the spare bed. Had there been 4 of us, there wouldn't have been anywhere for 2 extra cases. We had to dress in the lounge.
- Heather (8/5): Great location , very clean and comfortable bed - Great location with a short walk to the lake and places to eat. Although the bed was comfortable, the actual bedroom was a bit stuffy with no air flow from the air con.
- Fei Fei (9/5): - 湖景第一排,景色非常棒!
- bethany (10/5): -
- Elisabeth (7/5): - Gute Unterkunft. Etwas in die Jahre gekommen
Alles zu Fuss erreichbar Etwas altmodisch
- eunhyun (7/5): -
- Matt (8/5): -
- Marguerite (8/5): Very good - Location had fantastic views over the lake to snow-capped mountains.
- Bradley (8/5): -
- Sarah (8/5): Beautiful stay in Wanaka. Perfect location. Amazing staff. - Amazing location, very convenient for the town and lake. Lovely staff - very responsive and accommodating. Free washing machine and a line to use was a definite plus!
- Heidi (10/5): -
- Lee (5/5): I wouldn’t recommend unless the price is halved - The location was great It’s was way overpriced considering its age and condition.
- Samantha (9/5): -
- Brian (9/5): - Great location, on site parking avilable, and very useful facilities. The units were generally nice and comfortable The curtains did little to block light which made sleeping a bit harder given how late the sun stays up in Wanaka but that's really trying to be picky. I would be more than happy to stay here again
- Lisa (9/5): Nice place to stay...and enjoy the view! - Great location! Free laundry was a bonus! Nice size room and comfortable bed. Never saw anyone who worked there. Key pickup was easy though.
A little awkward door/bed situation in the bedroom but we managed fine.
- Colin (10/5): - Location is everything. Clean and comfortable. Helped us with late check in. Nothing. Everything was good.
- Gjokola (8/5): -
- Elisabeth (8/5): -
- Tess (8/5): Aanrader voor Wanaka. - Super locatie, aan het meer en op loopafstand van alle winkels en restaurants.
- Julie (7/5): -
- Glenda (7/5): Comfortable - Location Minimum crockery etc
- BRIAN (8/5): - If in the right unit, good views of the mountains.
The unit also came with a cooker, not just the microwave. There was only four parking spaces, but there was more units so you might have to park across the road.
No heating as the electric fire was not wired in.
- Rachel (8/5): -
- Bruce (9/5): -
- liviana (8/5): -
- Megan (7/5): This is a great place to stay for a few nights where you can walk into town and have dinner without having to drive home - Great location and you could walk to the shops, restaurants and parks. There wasn’t a car park for each room but you could park over the road in the street parking. The cars did block the views from the front rooms, so if you book a lake view room you will only have lake views of there are no cars parked. The tv was hard to work and we couldn’t connect it. The shower head was connected on the wall and a bit low for tall people…
- WEIHONG (8/5): - 地理位置优越,直面美景,去主街吃饭购物步行10分钟到,很方便。
- Damien (8/5): - People location Price
- Caroline (8/5): Comfortable night’s sleep and useful amenities - Great location, easy walk into town. Comfortable bed and strong shower. Helpful to have the fridge and tea cups.
We knew we didn’t have a lake view and it was nonetheless pleasant to have a view of a nice sculpture through the window. You could hear footsteps and movement upstairs
- Katie (9/5): -
- Andrew (8/5): Loved it, would stay here again but would try for a different chalet next time. - Awesome location. Very friendly and helpful host. Staying in the studio meant no kitchen so crockery was not available unless asked for. But that was easily sorted. Also it was a bit noisy with us being able to hear everything above us, mainly the dog scurrying around. But again, that was not really an issue at all.
- Samantha (10/5): - It was so close to the water, amazing location a short stroll into the main streets.
They were really accomodating with us as our fight was delayed, great communication Couldn’t shut the bedroom door but it didn’t affect our stay
- Concepción (10/5): Vistas únicas al lago - La ubicación y la casa en si El ruido del extractor del baño
- Laurent (9/5): Agréable et Bien situé pour visiter la région - Facilité de parking, vue depuis le salon, proximité de la ville à pied (5 minutes). Accueil souriant et agréable. Rien.
- Bathini (9/5): Overall, it was pleasant stay. - We easily prepared breakfast since the motel is located close supermarkets. Nothing specific
- Carly (8/5): - The rooms were hot at night. Having air con would be a great addition
- Catherine (10/5): Wonderful! - The views and the location were outstanding. Loved having the laundry facilities too. We never saw the hosts at all - it was self check in.
- Luca Giuseppe (6/5): -
- CHIH-YAO (10/5): -
- Jody (6/5): Comfortable, in good location but much smaller than photos depicted. - Location was good, beds were comfortable. Very cramped for our family.
- Walter (5/5): -
- Stephen (10/5): Another great place to stay - It was so close to town, we could walk. Nothing
- Ricardo (8/5): -
- Nia (7/5): Comfortable stay in a good location - Great location across from the lake
Tea, coffee and milk
Well equipped kitchen area
Comfortable beds
Easy to walk to lake and town
Bicycles available which we would have used if staying longer Single glazed windows
Small bedrooms, no cupboard space. Fine for a one night stay but would have struggled if staying longer.
- Lisa (10/5): - The facilities were clean, and super warm considering it is the middle of winter.
- Jen (7/5): Good -
- Julia (6/5): Pleasant -
- Rena (9/5): Perfect location, close to lake and shops, restaurants - Perfect location, right across the road from park and lake, very warm, nicely updated kitchen and bathroom, comfortable lounge area. Bedrooms a bit tight, but comfy beds
- Esmeralda (9/5): Superb - Great Location
- Vivian (10/5): Exceptional - Location is superb as Wanaka Lake is just in front of our eye level view, also good spot for night stargazing.
- Sarah (10/5): - Very kind host and perfect location!
- Livia (9/5): Superb -
- Bryony (9/5): Very good - Location near the lake and town A little too compact for 3 adults
- Dale (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anita (7/5): Good -
- John (7/5): Great stopover in Wanaka for one night. - Great location and views. Good wifi. Too small for four adults, OK for a couple with small children. Inconvenient bathroom/toilet layout. Shower curtain.
- Peck (9/5): Superb - Love the location by the lake. Easy walking distance to grocery and restaurants. We left some food on the kitchen counter and had sugar ants the next morning. Shower didn’t drain well.
- Lawrence (7/5): Good -
- Julie (9/5): Unable to review staff friendliness as we didn’t see anyone. Key pick up was so easy -
- Andrew (10/5): Great location perfect apartment for 2 night stay and the parking was a bonus - The location was excellent with lake views Everything was as we thought it would be
- Bottomley (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bottomley (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vicki (10/5): Wanaka 2 night stay. - Property was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Great shower. Bed very comfortable. Location very close to town to walk for cafes and restaurants.
Owner very friendly. We booked a basement studio. Good size. We were aware that there was not a view, and full kitchen facilities, this is clearly stated in the booking information. This did not bother us at all as we were out n about during the day. Will stay here again. Very good. Thankyou. Vicki & Rex.
