We stayed here for one night, The motel is in a quiet location quite close to town. We checked in around 8:30pm. The windows had been left open (for ventilation) and if the day had been cooler, the unit could have been quite cold. The unit had one bedroom with a single and king size bed and there were 2...

Stayed here for one night with my mum. It was very nice and clean and the staff were friendly. it had a nice and quiet location. But still very close to town. We stayed in a studio room and the room was plenty big enough for 2 people. Good value and would stay here again.

We stayed for one night in a standard studio for $88. This wasn't the best motel we stayed in during our trip to New Zealand but it was one of the cheaper ones so I guess you get what you pay for. The room was a good size and clean. Bathroom was fine if a bit dated. It's located maybe... More

this motel is very good value, clean and well maintained and very cheap as it's not on the main drag in wanaka. Only 2 minutes from the restaurants and the lake. we were going to leave wanaka and go further north to find something cheaper as all the motels were over our budget but the helpful lady at the i-site...

We stayed for a week over the winter season. First thing we noticed in our motel room was the cleanliness of the bathroom and kitchen- for us a big positive! The beds were comfortable, and the staff even recommended a restaurant and gave us a voucher. I think for the the cost it's great value and we could store our... More

I used to stay here, and the old owners were really considerate. I think the new ones need to learn how to run a motel. The taps leaked in my room. I told the owner, and he said that several other people had also mentioned it, and he would fix it. I arrived at the motel, after having booked. They... More

Dear Edith thank you for your review we are very disappointed with the comments made and can only offer our apologies for the treatment you received from our staff. We have owned the motel for nearly 10 years so I am guessing you have visited during that time? It is practice to air our rooms after cleaning and then close... More

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
