Walkable to downtown. Nice breakfast and friendly staff. Nice to have a hot tub, and did use it. Building is a little old, so heard all the squeaks from the room above us.

Friendly hosts. Modest rooms but do not book if the breakfast is a selling feature for you. Bad coffee, undercooked bacon, white toast and canned fruit - felt like stepping back in time to the 80s when we didn’t know what a good breakfast could be. With so many good options near by for eating, focus on doing one thing well (good coffee!) and let that kitchen be for guest use instead.

Great location but property felt run down. Lots of creaks and groans from people walking upstairs. Pillows were hard, rooms very hot with no fans, a bit of bugs in bathroom lights. Kind of noisy from local bars and traffic.

The room was clean and comfortable. However not having tea making facilities and having to go down to the dining room to make cup of tea was inconvenient. For what we got it was way overpriced. Maybe at a push $150.. per night not $212.00. I guess these are Wanaka prices!!!!
