For our honeymoon we decided to take a trip around the south island. By mistake I booked the wrong date. The owner rang at 7.50pm to see where we were on the booked night which was nice. Upon reaIising my mistake and that we were in Franz Josef we would not be staying that night. The owner said his hotel... More

Awesome location with restaurants and supermarket just beside it. The lake itself is within walking distance as well. Very helpful owners who helped me get my laundry done and gave me recommendations on the places to stop by on my way to Queenstown. Had a 1 bedroom apartment and it was pretty good. Only downside is that the cooking area... More

We were looking for a 1 bedroom unit in Qualmark 4 star motel for 1 night. Most properties were sold out that day and we felt fortunate to get a room at the Bella Vista. What we liked: The warmth, generosity and expert advice of the host The rooms were very well done up The location was superb: we were... More

We selected the Bella Vista in Wanaka for its close location to the pickup point for our week long mountaineering course. Needed a 1 night stay so went with the Compact Studio. Recieved a very warm welcome from the manager on arrival and had a lovely dinner out at Relishes Cafe. For some downtime after a very active week we... More

Convenient location and the receptionist was helpful but the rooms were small and not well designed. Had to pay for Wifi , which I believe should be a free service.The proximity to town and its offerings is terrific and there are plenty of restaurants and drinking holes to choose from.

Thought the guy at reception was fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. After paying a similar price for other hotels and motels, I thought this one was very small. As we went in January it was very hot and not much in the way of air conditioning. Overall the cleanliness was very good and the location is nice and central to... More

Stayed at Bella Vista Wanaka on our journey South from Fox Glacier. This was the 2nd Bella Vista Motel we'd stayed in and once again we weren't disappointed. We received a very warm welcome on arrival and were given all the information needed to enjoy our stay in Wanaka. Great recommendations on Restaurants (ask about Dicks, the food was superb).... More

We stayed here for one night en route to the glaciers. Subsequently we were to stay in two more Bella Vistas and they were both better. The location is indeed very central in Wanaka and the room was adequate - small, no a/c, no separate sink for tea/coffee, but clean. Where this place fell down compared to the other Bella... More

A good location and clean pleasantly appointed rooms. Not much fuss and a good rate to match. Just 2 minutes walk from the lake shore, restaurants and cafes. I would return here and book a ground floor room as you can park your car right outside your door. Wi Fi available on request and some room as have a spa... More
