    The location and the view from bedroom. The room gives vibe of old-style hotel but it is spacious and comfortable. Also the staff are very nice and helpful!

    This hotel is definitely underestimated. It’s large, quiet location, good facilities and also good dining room. Especially the price is unbelievable affordable. If I visit Wānaka this is the first place I will think first. And of course I visit...
