My wife and I adore Wanaka. When ever we stay there we stay at Clearbrook. We stumbled across it by chance early last year and stay there ever since. The location is great with everything in town being with in walking distance, including the shops, supermarkets, cafes and of course the lake. The building is relatively new with all the... More

Stayed for 2 nights. The room was split in two levels. The view from the top level was great, especially when waking up in the morning. The room was well equipped and very clean. Great location and very close to shops and restaurants. Loved Wanaka and would stay here again.

Initially booked a number of motels advertised in the NZ brochure and on checking TA found them to be lacking good reviews so it came down to checking each destination individually to source good accommodation. We were not disappointed by Clearbrook. Clean, comfortable and worthy of all the favourable comments that it has attracted. Would definitely stay here again.

So it's ok, and clean, but VERY 90's, both in design, decor and amenities, I was pretty shocked by the $10 for 12 hours wifi, who still charges you to use wifi when you are a guest?

We booked the family room which has to 2 bedrooms inside. The room is divided into 2 floor which give more space. There are also washing machine and dryer. The kitchen is small and not so well equipped. The beds are very comfy in both room. The main windows facing mountain side (not lake) giving a fantastic view during sunrise... More

We stayed in March 2012 and had a top level king bed room and was plesently surprised. The hotel is an easy walk to all the main eats in Wanaka and is very clean and well appointed self contained with enough utilities to stay in if you wish. A good washing machine was a bonus.

We recently stayed here for four nights and found that all the good things that people had written about this motel were correct. Very clean, the owners were very friendly and the unit had everything that we needed for our stay. It was a short walk to shops, cinema, waterfront. The little stream running in front of our unit was... More

We booked online based on the reviews here and got a room at a pretty decent price compared to the other places in NZ. The motel is situated about a 5-10 minute walk from the lakefront and since everything is so close by in Wanaka, the location is very good. There is a small stream that runs through the motel...
