We were amazed by the location near the lake with clean air, nice ambience in the Hotel Restaurant, with good food! I should have reserved 2 or 3 nights there. We booked 3 rooms all of us enjoyed it. Can swim, water activities and more.GottUnited States - 10Scored 10

A wholesome town just outside of Queenstown.
A wholesome town just outside of Queenstown. I could've stayed here weeks. It was a great location to be based at for Roy's Peak Summit, more hiking and days spent by the lake. Bonus activity was a dinner and movie night at Cinema Paradiso. A really lovely town with a very live-able atmosphere.Melanie TravelsIreland - 10Scored 10

Wanaka itself is a lovely spot.
Wanaka itself is a lovely spot. It was lovely without being too much of a tourist trap. The art gallery I visited was very good, and the two local restaurants also good and reasonably priced. The staff at the Thai restaurant were especially friendly and helpful. I wish I had stayed long enough to drive out to a few places from Wanaka.AAnonymous

It had all the facilities you would want. was so good we wanted to stay for a few more days, but unfortunately it was already booked.
ChhayaUnited Kingdom - 9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 33 reviewsWe love Wanaka. And this location was perfect for us to stay in a quiet place all to ourselves while we were in the town. It was very easy to check-in (John met us when we arrived on the property to hand over the keys and show us around the place) and there was ample parking and space for us. The property was bigger than anticipated. It is also just a quick drive from downtown Wanaka so it was very easy for us to drive into town and then off to hikes in the morning. Beautiful place, lovely stay.
EthanUnited States - 9.8Scored 9.8ExceptionalRated exceptional· 155 reviewsA large apartment with a stunning bird’s eye panoramic view of Wānaka. Don’t be discouraged by its location away from the lake or the steep driveway, it is a gem. Noelene and Bill are delightful and their full English breakfast is delicious. It was a special treat to have salmon that Bill caught the previous day and Noelene’s homemade plums and peaches. We felt privileged to be invited into their home for a tour of there unique and beautiful home.PaulUnited States

A really cozy apartment with a fireplace for cold times and an A/C to fight the intense heat of summer. Excellent kitchen with everything one may need. Super good and modern shower. A deck with a wooden table and chairs with the lake view for meals outside. And of course a super friendly host! Definitely the best hotel among all those that we stayed in during out trip on the South Island!
ArinaNew Zealand - From US$192.09 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 2,218 reviewsThe rooms were very comfortable, modern and clean. They seem to use a central heating system rather than individual heaters, so the room was kept warm without becoming stuffy. The onsite restaurant, Amigos, is really handy to have and appeared popular with guests as well as non-guests. The location is excellent, walking distance to the lake front, with plenty of parking available behind the hotel. Would definitely stay here again.P.JneNew Zealand

The hotel is in a great location in the centre really of the main town. Our room had a view of the lake which was great as most of the rooms (on our level) have a balcony. The lawns and gardens were very pleasant and provided a nice area for adults and children near a great Mexican restaurant and bar. RecommendedEdwardNew Zealand
