Nice tidy property which is looked after. Close to the shops and Wanaka. Nice sized tv. Basic property but all you need for a short stay. Nice bedding. Could do with a bed sofa in lounge rather than a bed so all family can sit in lounge. Recommend for a reasonable price and for families.

Comfortable stay, good location as it's a short walk into central wanaka. Property is a bit tired in comparison to similar ones I have stayed in.

Very nice owners - they even helped us with our laundry!, easy walk to town, nice room/kitchenette. Our only issue was the lack of privacy as all the rooms are in a row with parking right in front of the rooms. If you want to let in natural light, have your sliding glass door open to let in fresh air, or sit outside and drink a glass of wine, there are often other guests walking/talking in front of your room and "patio".

The owners are very nice and very helpful. The motel room was clean and tidy with all the facilities you need. The bathroom was a little tired with mold in some areas, however for a cheap stay, it's ideally located for the centre of town.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Way overpriced for what is offered
Dated motel - welcome to the 70s. Our unit would have benefitted from a round of deep cleaning. A puny little shower gel available for two persons. We booked at the last minute with next to no Wanaka inventory available. Way overpriced, value 1/5.

Response from Paul and Karen on 16 Jan 2024
Hi Ivo, thank you for taking the time to post your review, we really enjoyed having you as a guest. Yes, we are an older property as per photos online, and there would have been little inventory available as Wanaka is a popular destination during the Christmas/New Year Holiday season. Your reservation was made almost a week prior to your arrival, and as per our automated emails, you had reserved a two bedroom apartment, fairly priced for a four guest stay, as opposed to a couple. You seemed more than happy with this information when you asked for details here in the office.We are sorry to hear that the room was not to your expectation, we would have been more than happy to provide you more supplies if requested during our several conversations and evening phone call. We hope that you are enjoying the rest of your holiday here in New Zealand, our best wishes for 2024.

Our stay at this hotel was clean and warm. Facilities were great and the location is top-notch. What I didn't like was the fact that we asked for another single or a trundle bed for our room and we were advised that they didn't have anything. Even asked if the queen had the ability to be split into 2 singles. We were advised no but another room was available. We ended up getting the additional room. Upon getting into the queen bed that night, I found that the queen was in fact 2 x singles joined and that they could have been split, removing the need for the additional room. Kinda felt cheated!

We appreciate your review, Gerrit, and we were delighted to have you and your group as our guests. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our amenities and our convenient location.Regarding room configurations, we do provide details online at the time of booking, and as mentioned, we have a policy in place that prevents us from splitting or joining beds. Please note that we currently do not have trundle beds on-site as our rooms are already configured accordingly.It was a pleasure meeting you and your crew and hearing about your wonderful motorbike adventures. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you all back to our property in the future. Best wishes, and we look forward to seeing you again sometime!

Convenient location, basic , clean and considerate
The property is conveniently located to centre of town. Restaurants and supermarkets are nearby. The kitchen is decently equipped. Besides check-in, I didn't speak to anyone. However, they were very considerate. When the nights were cold they placed towels on the windscreens to prevent ice. It was a very nice touch.
