We got an adjoining room and it was perfect for grandparents/grandkids. Amigos is two steps away and the lakefront is 3 minutes away. It was absolutely perfect.

Big room with a view. Lots of space and very clean. The only issue was no fan in the bathroom and no plug ins in the bathroom. Other than that it was a great hotel close to everything and staff were helpful

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My room was clean with a comfortable bed, a good shower over the bath, and a balcony with a view in the direction of the lake, but the soundproofing around the connecting door between my room and the next one was poor, and I could hear everything. The hotel has its own restaurant, and is close to many others. Easy parking, friendly staff and fast wifi. I made use of the laundry ($2 per wash and $3 for drying), and I also used the communal kitchen to make sandwiches to take out - it's very well-equipped, but I could only find one sharp cook's knife in the whole kitchen, which is a problem when more than one person is preparing food in there. I would probably stay here again next time I visit Wanaka.

Highly Recommended! The staff were amazing — very friendly and helpful. A receptionist kindly helped us with our heavy luggage and showed us a shortcut to the car park. The room was cozy, clean, and the bed extremely comfortable. We had a pleasant stay and would definitely come back!

It’s a solid place to stay if you need a bed for the night. What got me was the movies are on DVD and you have to call the front to order them and have them play it for you..kinda odd. But overall great location with lots of food nearby
