Excellent! My family was very satisfied as soon as we entered the room. Each room had great natural lighting and beautiful views. Most importantly, they were very spacious. The kitchen was also well-equipped, making it ideal for cooking. Additionally, there was a laundry room for washing clothes and ample space for drying them. We truly appreciated the front desk staff lending us clothespins—their kindness left a lasting impression on us and was one of the main reasons this place stood out.

Unique, expansive, and beautiful, Kauri House is a very special place to stay. Perched in a private location with a 270-degree view, this multi-room apartment is spacious, well-appointed, and crafted with loving care. Bill and Noelene are extremely gracious hosts, and the breakfasts (included) are VERY generous and delicious. Highly recommend.

Great location - super close to the supermarket. Kitchen was massive, and kept really clean. Lots of cooking space, as well as eating space. I was in a 3 person bedroom - not bunk beds which was nice. Good wifi, nice staff. It was a nice place to stay for a few days.

It was the perfect place to stay. The host Rainbow was exceptional. She made us feel at home right from the time we walked into the reception. The building lay out was great. We did not have to lug our luggage to the first floor. We could drive to the rear of the property and go straight in.

We loved everything about Archway Motel. Mark, the host, provided a lot of useful information about Wanaka. The room and kitchen itself were well equipped, clean, and comfortable for our family of 4 adults. The toilet was spacious, and the location was excellent. Plus, the hot tub was really comforting after a sunrise hike at Isthmus. The motel is also just a short 10-minute walk to town centre. Will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Wanaka and will definitely come back if we have the chance.
