It was clean so it was ok for 1 night. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie Apr 16, 2024 Friendly and excellent location. Condition and decor dated but that is outweighed by great location and friendly staff. This was my 3rd stay at this motel. ##### Stephanie Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Kerry May 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We only stayed one night the room was comfortable for what we wanted the drapes were in a bit of poor order which I thought would have been fixed very easily other than that it was a good stay ##### Kerry Stayed 1 night in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bouen Mar 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 1 minute walk to all the restaurants and bars in Wanaka.

Great location. ##### Marie Stayed 1 night in May 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Greig Nov 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Late check in was easy, even when office was closed for the day. Overall, the room was great and clean & tidy. One TV remote wasn't working, but the second one was. Unfortunately I could not get a peaceful night's sleep due to random noises on the roof each night I stayed. I suspect a possum was jumping & running around on the corrugated roof which was heard clearly through the ceiling. Although this was outside of the motel's control, I strongly recommend they get a professional to trap it. I would easily return to this motel, if I knew this particular issue was fixed. ##### Greig Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Lakefront Luxury](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Lakefront-Luxury.h37329794.Hotel-Information) > - [Ormlie Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Waiohiki-Hotels-Ormlie-Lodge.h9626443.Hotel-Information) > - [The Waterlily Gardens](https://www.expedia.ca/Waihi-Hotels-The-Waterlily-Gardens.h21518126.Hotel-Information) > - [Kaikoura Waterfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Kaikoura-Waterfront-Apartments.h46121792.Hotel-Information) > - [Stopforths Premium Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Hokitika-Hotels-Stopforths-Premium-Accommodation.h23236034.Hotel-Information) > - [The White Elephant Accommodation - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Motueka-Hotels-The-White-Elephant-Accommodation.h9624615.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Queenstown Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Hilton-Queenstown-Resort-Spa.h4268206.Hotel-Information) > - [Avon Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hawera-Hotels-Avon-Motel.h9629592.Hotel-Information) > - [Motueka TOP 10 Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Motueka-Hotels-Motueka-TOP-10-Holiday-Park.h7015031.Hotel-Information) > - [Sennen House](https://www.expedia.ca/Picton-Hotels-Sennen-House.h7120592.Hotel-Information) > - [Dusky Lodge - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Dusky-Lodge.h13271116.Hotel-Information) > - [Nomads Rest](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Nomads-Rest.h27954748.Hotel-Information) > - [The Fern & Thistle Luxury Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Benhar-Hotels-The-Fern-Thistle-Accommodation.h55531272.Hotel-Information) > - [Aqua Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Aqua-Lodge.h51669090.Hotel-Information) > - [Mt Cook View Motel - Fox Glacier](https://www.expedia.ca/Fox-Glacier-Hotels-Mt-Cook-View-Motel.h7275200.Hotel-Information) > - [Distinction Luxmore Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Anau-Hotels-Distinction-Luxmore-Hotel.h519248.Hotel-Information) > - [Horse and Jockey Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Horse-And-Jockey-Inn.h29357900.Hotel-Information) > - [Two Rivers Boutique Lodge Ohakune](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Two-Rivers-Ohakune.h109320695.Hotel-Information) > - [Duvauchelle Seaside Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Duvauchelle-Hotels-Duvauchelle-Seaside-Motel.h20930343.Hotel-Information) > - [Ribbonwood Country House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheviot-Hotels-Ribbonwood-Country-House.h15876059.Hotel-Information) > - [The Kaka Point Motels](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaka-Point-Hotels-The-Kaka-Point-Motels.h9679525.Hotel-Information) > - [Ohakune TOP 10 Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Ohakune-TOP-10-Holiday-Park.h33230446.Hotel-Information) > - [Lakeview Colonial Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Colonial-Village-Motel.h11453583.Hotel-Information) > - [Falcons Nest](https://www.expedia.ca/Cromwell-Hotels-Falcons-Nest.h31053004.Hotel-Information) > - [JetPark Hotel Hamilton Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Jet-Park-Hotel-Hamilton-Airport.h4281130.Hotel-Information) > - [Awaroa Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Awaroa-Bay-Hotels-Awaroa-Lodge.h5417771.Hotel-Information) > - [Ruapehu Country Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Ruapehu-Country-Lodge.h9625899.Hotel-Information) > - [Monty's self-contained unit](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Montys-Self-Contained-Unit.h37984382.Hotel-Information) > - [Carrick Lodge Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cromwell-Hotels-Carrick-Lodge-Motel.h9626119.Hotel-Information)
