Charming cottage feel

This was a lovely little roadside hotel with a cottage feel. Our room was very clean and well appointed. Great location with lake view and park view. Paragliders landed in the park while we were there. The laundry room is very convenient and there is a private clothes line to hang dry! Wanaka is a beautiful town with great restaurants and shopping. I wish we would have skipped Tekapo and stayed here another night or two instead.

조용하고 접근성 좋은 숙소로 추천

가장 낮은 등급의 객실을 선택했습니다. 조리는 불가능 했지만, 그밖의 객실의 청결함, 침구류의 편안함, 테이블, 소파 등 편의 시설은 훌륭했습니다. 도보로 시내 이동이 가능하고, 바로 앞에 호수와 공원이 위치해 있어서 휴식을 취하기에 최적의 장소입니다. 가성비 있는 숙소라 생각하며, 추천합니다.

The room worked well for us. The bed was super comfortable and the room was very clean and cool in the hot summer nights. Staff went above and beyond to help us out when we had to leave early. Thank you so much for a great stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We booked this stay through Expedia on November 13, still planning rest of trip and decided maybe best to stay 2 nights in Wānaka, messaged hotel directly asking if we could add a night. No response so booked in Twizel. Arrive in Wanaka for our 1 night stay and leave next morning and PIp says no you are staying 2 nights that’s why I upgraded you. I said you never sent me a confirmation email, she said I did the 13th our stay was the 15th and we were flying from Sydney. You can’t wait a month to say yes you have a room available another night. I asked for a refund for second night and she said that’s not possible. I need to get a cleaning lady in here and hope I can rent room. I offered to help clean room and there was only 1 other family there. I will be disputing charge with my credit card!

Studio or Chalet

Beware your booking is Studio or Chalet. My booking is Studio and it's actually the basement of private room (rentaler living?). All other are Chalets with better quality. Studio has window but you can't see outside scenery as you are in basement. All facilities are ok and room has reasonable size.There are 4 parking spaces only and you can park at opposite public car with unlimited time. The location is at the middle of lake front so you are conveniently going to both sides.

여유로워서 좋았어요

숙소 자체는 한적하고 여유로웠습니다. 날벌레들이 있고, 샤워시설이 살짝 맘에 안들었던거 말고는 공간도 여유있고 좋았어요. 아침 체크아웃시간이 10시라서 다른 숙소보다 약간 촉박한것 빼고는 괜찮습니다.

Great Location and Comfortable Stay

Fairly updated and very clean. Beds were very comfortable and seemed new. Basic kitchen area and living room combined. We had a 2 bedroom unit but be warned, the bedrooms are quite small. Really only room for beds and small walkway. there were only two of us so not an issue, but if 3-4 people shared, there wouldn't be much room (if any) for luggage in the room. No closets or dressers in the room to store luggage away. Like I said, not as issue if traveling light and only two people. Limited TV channels (not an issue since we didn't watch much TV) but you can log into your Netflix on the TV. One minor annoyance (which was standard all over NZ but noticed it here more) is that they don't have window screens so we did get quite a few moths and bugs in the room. Location is excellent with free parking and 5 minute walk to the main town center with great bars and restaurants along the waterfront. Recommend Francesca's for italian and also loved visiting Maude Winery tasting room (only 5 minutes from the hotel). Hotel provided free bikes (we didn't use) and free lawn chairs for each room, which you can take across into the large park across the road to watch the sunset over the lake and mountains. Really enjoyed our stay here.
