The rooms were clean , the staff very friendly. A good convenient accomodation. Value for price. Road noisy during day, quiet overnight.

Staff courteous and room mostly clean. Bathroom needed an upgrade - bit of mould in the shower and old flooring tiles. Towels were rough with threads so quite old and worn. Big list of rules greated you in the toom instead of a warm welcome message.
Bridget, the motel manager, was lovely—she called ahead to check our arrival time and made sure everything was perfect with the room. The place has been nicely renovated. We drove, so we’re not sure about nearby facilities, but Wanaka is absolutely beautiful.
It was a decent, clean, safe place to stay for one night. :) Staff allowed us a late check-out the morning of, which we really appreciated! Easy parking, good toiletries, simple but efficient kitchenette layout for coffee or tea with a fridge and sink. Nothing fancy, but comfy overall.

Great place and centrally located
It was amazing, spacious clean and even had room to park our campervan. Highly recommended and staff especially housekeeping were amazing! Short walk into town made it really centrally located.
