Excellent Motel in a great location

Good size room which was spotlessly clean. Room was serviced as often as you wanted which we liked because you don't need your room serviced every day so we opted for every second day which was fine. Provisions (e.g. toilet paper, coffee and tea, etc.) were replenished whenever the room was serviced. Quiet location but in the heart of town with many great eating places a short stroll away.

Great location close to many restaurants and shops. Parking available on-site or just nearby the hotel if the carpark was full. Room wasn't huge but was comfortable enough for a short stay. Staff were helpful and accommodated our late check-in. Would recommend staying here if you are passing through Wanaka.

Perfect location! Central/downtown without being very expensive. Made popping out to shops/pubs/restaurants so easy. Our 3 day trip was to attend a wedding in Wanaka. We drove down from Christchurch so was great being able to park the car safely there. Will definitely stay there next time.

It was a great spot for us in our short time in Wānaka. I’m sure if the weather had been better we would have more to rave about, but this hotel met our needs just fine and it was clean and comfortable. Thank you!
