We loved this large, modern room with kitchenette, large bath and balcony. It was up the hill from town, so much quieter and still an easy walk to town center. AC worked well and hosts were really helpful. We will stay here again!

Motel conveniently located to downtown Wanaka. It's a short 5 minute walk to the lake so you can get to everything but still have peace and quiet in the evenings.
