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.

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.

8/10 Very good

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!

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

We stayed here last night at room 2. The hotel is very clean and equipped with the cookware. The super market is just a mini walk, hence it's so convenient. Checked in and out were super easy. We highly recommended the hotel. Parking is also free and easy.

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.

6/10 Good

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.
