Stayed in a one bedroom motel which was very clean, well insulated and refreshingly modern. Outside our room there was a massive fenced lawn area for the kids to run around in and chromecast was attached to the TV so you could play the kids' favorites whilst you cooked dinner. Service was fantastic! After a long drive we were greeted by a cheerful face who provided all the information we needed and they even offered to post a lost toy for free after we had left. Loved their dedication to recycling and compost. Just a short walk under some beautiful trees to the lakefront. We will be staying the next time we are back in Wanaka.

We had a great, relaxing time. I couldn't fault anything, in fact it was better than when we stayed in a 5 star hotel in Queenstown. I can understand why reception was closed for reasons of health and safety but it would have been great to chat with someone about the area

We were blessed with blue sky and striking autumn leaves for a picture-postcard scene during our brief stay. Our room (Kahurangi Room) was very nice with mountain view and seperate access available via a sunny patio. The lounge-room with it’s glowing fire was a special treat. Blyth was a genial host (wife Anne was away) and the breakfast spread was top-notch Highly recommended.

For a 3.5 star motel, this was great. Fantastic location as we walked to cinema paradiso, then to the Mexican restaurant and then short walk back. Thanks for the voucher for Amigos too. Room was spotless, everything we needed and being 11am check out it was much needed after the few margaritas the night before. Great value for money.
