Independent, Wānaka hotels

"Great view. The room is clean and nice. Service is good. Definitely will come back."

"Loved it! Easy walking distance to the lake and heaps of cafes. We stayed in the budget 2 bedroom self contained cottage and although old it was the perfect choice for us and excellent value for money. I thought we would be really cold but there were heaps of blankets and more than enough heaters to go round. Great spot to set yourself up in for access to Cardrona and the Snow Farm. Hot water and pressure were great. Only thing I didn’t love was that there was no drop box for the room key as we departed early. I didn’t feel right leaving it in an unlocked box that could easily be opened by the next person and I didn’t have a code handy for the safe box. It was a little stressful figuring out what to do when we were in a hurry to leave for a full day on the slopes. I ended up giving the key to the guy in the office next to reception. Overall would recommend and stay again!"

"Stayed single room twin bed ensuite. Private rooms are expensive in Wanaka. By far the first most expensive private room in NZ. All good with essentials however which the bathroom are equipped with heater. 2 minutes walk to Four Square grocery and lots of eateries. Only negative issue is bathroom is very cold in private room ensuite as there is no heater as compared to Haka Tekapo which has heater in both room and bathroom. The detergents are diluted with 10% detergent and 90% water, guess that’s to save cost. I bought my own detergent (not expensive from brand Pam’s) from four square to make sure the oily utensils are cleaned and oil free. "

"Room was very comfortable and warm on arrival. It was difficult to maintain the warmth however as the heatpump went off on a very cool night, Warm again in the morning. Very clean and lovely staff. Thank you for a lovely stay."

"Nice apartment "

"Bridget, the motel manager, was lovely—she called ahead to check our arrival time and made sure everything was perfect with the room. The place has been nicely renovated. We drove, so we’re not sure about nearby facilities, but Wanaka is absolutely beautiful. "

"Nice clean modern property, walking distance to shops, restaurants and the lake."

"Cute and friendly. Wonderful location"
