2.5 km from Puzzling World, Marina Terrace, Wanaka is a recently renovated property situated in Wanaka and features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and private parking. The property has mountain and lake views, and is 2.2 km from The Wanaka Tree. The apartment provides parking on-site, a pool with a view and a lift.

I love the interior design especially the living area where you could see from window the marina view of lake Wānaka. The outside seating area looks amazing, although we didn’t use it much. The overall experience was beyond my expectations. I enjoyed the hospitality with well equipped kitchen, the kitchenware, and the washing machine. The electric appliance is new and well kept. Not to mention, we can enjoy Netflix movies and TV series during the stay. It was a short walk to the lake Wānaka and town center. Thanks to Lee & Claire for your lovely home.

    Perfect cabin for myself for a night, but would have been great for a few as well. Really comfortable bed, heating was really good. Great kitchen facilities and everything was very clean. Also in a great location, easy walking distance into Wanaka itself but tucked a little away so was peaceful in the park.

    Great location, lovely staff that do what they can to keep their guests happy. Wifi good. Very clean which makes up for the general run-down state of the lodge/hostel building (as opposed to the lovely main building). Showers surprisingly good with hot water. Cheapest private room of Wanaka that day so yes you get what you pay for.

    Gorgeous new build attached to a family home (but with private entry) very clean and tidy, fab location and in a quiet area. It was ideal for our 3 night stay which combined some solid hiking and general touristy stuff. Nothing like coming back to a comfy bed and awesome hot shower with great water pressure.
