Probably the best value for money accommodation I've stayed in. The room was large and well appointed and the view of the lake was unbelievable. The photos on their website just don't do it justice. Has a nice little area outside the door where you can sit down with a Drambuie and watch life in a sleepy little town.

Luckily we found this great place as we arrived in Wanaka. The views of the lake were fabulous and it is close to the town. We were on the first floor but with no balcony (I think we had the last room) but watched a little regatta on the lake and walked to the shared garden to sit in the... More

We've decided to spend one night in Wanaka and found this motel. They have big rooms, two of them facing the street and across the street, the lake. We picked a smaller room (#2 for NZD 110) which is under the manager's house and very tiny. At the first moment we thought it would be a noisy night with their... More

Looking around the web for a place to stay in Wanaka after the Easter weekend, most of the lodges and higher end hotels were booked out as a flow on effect of the Warbirds Over Wanaka but so glad that we found this little gem !! After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor plus a little bit of playing with... More

We stayed for a night as a part of our trip in South Island. There is a small family-run motel located only a short walk from the town center. The room was super clean and the view was totally stunning. There wasn't a luxury motel but we could feel that the owner was really attended to every details to make... More

Such a beautiful view from the room. Room itself was very clean and tidy, and owner (who checked us in) was lovely and offered some great advice about the town.

Lake Wanaka is beautiful and the Lakeview Motel helps show it off. As others have noted, this is not a modern accommodation, but it is clean, roomy, and comfortable. Staff were very friendly. True free internet and everything needed for self-catering. If you enjoy fantastic views and a nice hike, do the trek up Mt. Iron before leaving the area!

We had an upper room with a view over the lake which was delightful, although we did suffer from very noisy neighbours in the room next door. We were there early March when the local Wanaka Show was on and we suspected they were local farmers there for a night on the tiles with their friends. However, the room itself... More

Can be tricky to find as its behind the shops . Parking is directly adjacent to the units. Host Leeanne was delightful. Upstairs rooms require you to lump your bags upstairs - but the view it delivers is worth every step. Wireless internet was free and fast, The room , while an older fitout , was spotlessly clean and comfortable.The... More
