Felt very welcomed by the staff. The chalet had everything we needed. It was clean and very bright. Surroundings are very well kept and nice. Location is either good or bad depending on needs. Its a bit further away from town centre.

A beautiful, comfortable and cosy studio to explore Wanaka with everything you could need for a short-stay. The host went out of her way to ensure we had what we needed, including an early check-in as my partner had a migraine. Hassle-free parking, a short and enjoyable stroll into town. We would happily stay here again.

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.

This was a really nice place to stay. The staff were lovely and offered a cooked breakfast (eggs benedict) in the morning. The room was really nice and came with a balcony looking out to the hills/mountains. There was also a hot tub which you could book to use which was fun. Great location, walkable to lots of good food.

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.
