We liked this hotel so much we booked it again on the same holiday. The venue being so closecto Lake Wanaka was idylic. We had a perfect view out of our room.
We’re lucky enough to get a lakeside view room and it was beautiful with easy access to the walking track to walk into wanaka town. Lovely and peaceful
Beautiful location, friendly staff. Comfy. The room could have been a bit biggerbigger

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was comfortable, clean, and spacious, with a beautiful view of the lake. It was a wonderful stay and I would definitely come back again.
Lovely hotel, friendly staff, stunning views over the lake, and really nice room.
We enjoyed an evening in the outdoor hot tub.
It’s about a 30 minute walk into the main strip in town but we really enjoyed the walk and being that bit further round the lake. Plenty of parking in the town if people needed to drive instead.
Perhaps the bathroom could do with a refurb, but that certainly would not stop us from coming back.
