Very good location for staying in wanaka, can walk to the beach and the motel is right next to the supermarket. The interior is a bit old but well maintained.

The location was amazing and compensated for any of the minor imperfections (dated and rather musty smelling toilet). Being so close to the lake and to all the shops and restaurants is simply amazing. For the price, it’s a great and affordable accommodation!

The property is in a great location. Close to the water, shopping, dining, etc. However it is quite dated and could definitely use a spruce-up, and new pillows. It was clean so it was ok for 1 night.

Very close to main strip and the shops. Unfortunately, it is a bit dated and there is no air conditioning so beware if you are going during summer.

Fantastic location! Clean, comfortable, friendly staff.
The all-wood building creaks a lot, so be prepared for a few bumps in the night!

The property was in a fantastic location, no view but 3 minutes from the lakeside.
The room itself was very tired; the bedsheets need replacing and the bathroom was too old.
It contained everything I needed for a 2 night stay just lacked a bit of comfort.

If the parking lot is full there are tons of spaces across the street after 7pm (it was packed before then though). There are limited hours at the reception but they were great about leaving instructions to check in and had the key drop off for early in the morning. It was a great area within walking distance of all the restaurants and the traffic calms down a lot in the evening!

Friendly and excellent location. Condition and decor dated but that is outweighed by great location and friendly staff. This was my 3rd stay at this motel.
