Our stay was excellent. Great location, self contained room with fully stocked mini kitchenette. On reading other reviews, some people must go out of their way to find faults. Wanaka is a very lovely part of the South Island. Recommend.

Although moderately clean, the room was quite run down. The drapes were falling off the rod and the sofa appeared worn and dirty. It's right next to a busy road so the sound of traffic could keep one up all night. The bed was comfortable and the location is convenient.

Convenient location. Reasonable price. Cooking facilities & preparation area could be better. Limited crockery etc. Outside area & furniture in poor condition. OK for an overnight stay but not ideal for the 7 nights we were there.

We booked last minute as our travels changed and we got a huge room for a very reasonable price for just my husband and I. The woman who checked us in was very kind and helpful running through the property details because the front desk was not open 24/7, only in the afternoon. But she said if we needed anything in the morning to find her because she would be around cleaning the rooms. Our unit had a full kitchen and fridge, lots of dishes and glasses to use and 2 full balconies to enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. It is one block from the lake and main strip with all the restaurants and shopping. There is a grocery store, New World that is right over the back, super convenient. Can't wait to visit again!
