Motel conveniently located to downtown Wanaka. It's a short 5 minute walk to the lake so you can get to everything but still have peace and quiet in the evenings.
We had a wonderful stay! The manager and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making our family feel right at home. The room was clean and comfortable, and the whole experience was relaxing. Highly recommend this place to anyone — we’ll definitely be back when we get the chance!
Good location, clean tidy unit with freshly renovated kitchen and bathroom.

Amazing service from Mark, provided us with grate information for walks/food around the area, lodge was immaculate and very homely, would recommend to anyone.
Great stay. Jacqui at check-in was very nice and welcoming and the room was ready early which was a nice surprise. Everything was clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend.
Very nice accommodation walkable to the Centre of Wānaka. Definitely take advantage of the property’s hot tubs, they were very relaxing following a long hike.
We stayed for a night. We could park right outside our room so moving our luggage was a breeze. It was close to city center too. The room was clean and the front desk was friendly. We had an enjoyable night.
Amazing stay, the room is spacious, clean, modern and the owners were kind and welcoming. Would highly recommend this place and would definitely revisit next time we're in Wanaka :). Thank you for such a great experience.
