Convenient location. Reasonable price. Cooking facilities & preparation area could be better. Limited crockery etc. Outside area & furniture in poor condition. OK for an overnight stay but not ideal for the 7 nights we were there.

We booked last minute as our travels changed and we got a huge room for a very reasonable price for just my husband and I. The woman who checked us in was very kind and helpful running through the property details because the front desk was not open 24/7, only in the afternoon. But she said if we needed anything in the morning to find her because she would be around cleaning the rooms. Our unit had a full kitchen and fridge, lots of dishes and glasses to use and 2 full balconies to enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. It is one block from the lake and main strip with all the restaurants and shopping. There is a grocery store, New World that is right over the back, super convenient. Can't wait to visit again!

Aspiring lodge was ideal for a one night stop off. The motel was very tired looking and could do with modernising.

This is an older motel. Broken door knobs, microwave didn’t work, 2 burner stove was in poor repair, broken lights and bare bulb lighting fixtures. Building creaked and popped all night long!

The unit was very comfortable. Our only concern was that we were not aware of the loud expansion noises that comes with a lockwood-type home. Had we been aware of this, we would not have booked. Plus the walls between units need better insulation as we had to put up with conversion next door at 1am for about 1.5hrs.

Great location in Wānaka for walking, shopping, groceries, and dining. Spacious balcony at our room with nice view for an evening drink. Area was quiet after 10:00 pm. With some street noise before that (we were there on a Friday night). Nicely stocked kitchen, but bathroom was stocked with only hand wash soap dispenser at single (body wash?) dispenser in shower Used our own shampoo, conditioner, and body balm. Room had unique “ski chalet” appearance with wooden planks on walls and ceilings, Great look, but apparently the warm day and cool night, the result was a “popping noise” of shifting planks. If you are light sleeper, this is not a good option for you. Overall, a pleasant stay for us.

The room had a sink to wash cups etc but it drained in to the overflow of the bath/shower tub causing the water to flow in to the bath/shower tub leaving black bits in it - yuck!! One of the wall lights was held on with electrician's tape and another had no glass cover. The mattress was lacking in padding so not a very comfortable night. The shower also had a constant drip which could be heard in the bedroom.
