Honestly we loved this place. Yes its old but the timber interiors and old school doors and lighting are such a vibe and it was affordable given the great location. We would 100% book again.

Staff is very helpful, also moved us upstairs upon request so we are happy, room is big and kitchenette has everything we need. Although the included hot plate is rather old. Location is great near beach and supermarket.

This motel is clean, well appointed, and has a great location right in downtown Wanaka adjacent the New World supermarket. Lake front is one block away, and several excellent restaurants are all within easy walking distance.

Arrived just gone 6pm , key kindly left in room. Reception only opens at 2pm until ? Did not see anybody during our stay. With the perfect position this motel has , i think the owners need to reinvest some of their takings. The room had more cobwebs than a New Yorker at Halloween, shower held in with cardboard ,tv precariously balanced on small table , just all very dated.

6/10 Good

Except for meeting one member of staff at checkin we saw no one which from a security perspective is not good (in town). The rooms are spacious but a little dated (reflected in the price) - just needs a good clean - parking was ok for us but limited if you don’t arrive early. Major issue was the noise at night - the whole building creaks and sounds like people are walking on the roof - very strange. On a positive the location is fantastic - value for money was ok but if they invested a little they could push up the price and make it an amazing motel. If you plan to stay - be aware of the negatives but we were still happy overall based on the location
Worth the cost to see the Wanaka Tree

room was clean, very close to all shops etc. Only drawback was parking. Not much room, had to climb through passengers' side of the car to get into driver's seat due to car next door parked too close.

4/10 Fair

There was broken glass on the porch and a lot of cobwebs inside the room. For over $300 the worst I have stayed at. Also not enough parking for the amount of rooms so don’t expect a car park. Parking was the main reason this motel was chosen and I didn’t even get a park!
