Basic room with no frills but that’s ok. You’re paying for being within 100m of the town center where all the shops and restaurants are located, in addition to the stunning lake. The walls are paper thin.

Comfortable room, tinted windows for privacy, free parking, central location, good sized room, teas, coffees and hot chocolate in room, I like that you could help yourself to more in the laundry room. Fridge, microwave and kettle provided in room.
Only downside is the washer/drier shrunk my cotton t shirt. We did a warm wash and normal tumble dry so might be worth putting the drier on the delicates setting.

Great location close to many restaurants and shops. Parking available on-site or just nearby the hotel if the carpark was full. Room wasn't huge but was comfortable enough for a short stay. Staff were helpful and accommodated our late check-in. Would recommend staying here if you are passing through Wanaka.

Room was small, but clean. Location is perfect, just a block walk down to beautiful Lake Wanaka (we could see it from our room). I highly recommend it as a destination.
