Excellent ust service and a comfortable and clean.
An old hotel but well maintained. Noise from room above disturbed sleep. Convenient for town and the lake with a partial view of the mountains. Parking and WiFi were excellent.

Great location just a couple of minutes walk into the town centre and the lake. Lovely staff on the front desk who were incredibly helpful. Room was a decent size with a fridge and kettle and had the added bonus of a balcony which overlooked the gardens.

I booked a suite and was glad I did. It felt very spacious and had a balcony with a (partial) lake view. The bed and sofa were comfortable, the wifi was fine, ans shower pressure/temperature good.
I liked that there was a communal kitchen where guests could cook their own food, and that there was a communal laundry too (charged at low rates).
This hotel is right in the heart of Wanaka, and I’d definitely book here again.
