Found this gem of a motel in the AA NZ Visitor Guide. A little way out of town but that suited us as a good walk is great after a day travelling, also it was quiet. Very welcoming, neat, very clean and good sized room with really pleasant surroundings. The helpful, friendly owners are working on updating the motel as... More

We found this motel on Wotif and we were pleasantly surprised. Overall the standard was better than similar priced accommodation we had found previously in Wanaka. Although the decor wasn't as modern as some we had stayed in, our one bedroom unit was very spacious - a must for 3 females and lots of gear.Being a few street back from... More

Very friendly personal welcome at this spacious and well-appointed motel in a quiet part of town. Also very good value of money - one of the cheaper motels we found in our New Zealand travels.

Where to begin, I was so well behaved for ever since Owner mum and Owner dad went down to Wanaka and Queenstown last time and it paid off!!! I got to go too this time.

This motel must be the best value in New Zealand, just $125 for a largish 2 bed apartment which was clean and tidy and had sky tv. It's a bit of a walk into town which we enjoyed and wifi was not available in our unit although I understand that it was in others. I would highly recommend this motel... More

This turned out to be one of the cheaper motel stays but it is a little out of the town. Our unit was very clean and efforts had been made to refurbish the interiour, we had a lovely view of the mountains from our window. A healthy walk into town or a car which takes a few minutes. Overall, no... More

We were really pleased with this well kitted-out motel. It was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a week's stay in Wanaka. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and it was easily the best value we found here (confirmed by the local iSite office). Fast Wi-Fi connection! Highly recommended

We were only staying for one night and wanted something cheap but self contained. We got what we paid for. We had a car so the location was fine, I think to walk to town could take up to half an hour though didn't prove this. The unit we stayed in was built alongside reception. The bedroom must be opposite... More
