It's a lovely place, the owners have worked hard to make it elegant, well-equiped, extremely well looked-after and friendly. The Homestead Lodge is a very pleasant walk along the lakeside into the town centre, with spectacular views the mountains. The owner couldn't have been more helpful, he even gave us a lift 12k to the start of a beautiful walk back into town. Make a point of talking to him, he will tell you the best places eat, where to get cheap petrol, where to find the best pastries and how to make the most of your stay. If you are interested in doing the Wanaka Park run, it's only about 100m to the start. It's a great place. ##### Jon Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Coleen Nov 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This was one of our favorite stays on our trip. ##### Coleen Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hershell Dec 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice place for our one night stay in Wanaka ##### Hershell Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cindy Feb 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great experienc We had a lovely stay with all we could need in a wonderful place! ##### Cindy Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### monica Jan 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Highly recommended. ##### monica Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Jan 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Comfortable, clean and awesome spot.

Kaalene and Allan were so kind and thoughtful. We felt genuinely cared for, and could have easily stayed for weeks. Breakfast is delicious, with nice variety. The property is lovely with a rustic vibe, yet completely modern, spacious, and comfortable. Our room felt both posh and homey; the kind of place you could happily laze in all day if it weren’t so nice to be outside. The location is ideal: close to town but not right in the hustle and bustle. From there, we enjoyed walks to the lake and into town. In fact, we so loved being there that we got take-away and enjoyed meals out on the patio or lawn tables. We never quite made it to the jacuzzi under the stars. Next time! We left rested and happy, feeling like we’d made life-long friends. We can’t wait to go back. ##### Carlo Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### chun-fu Jan 28, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Has to come again 床可以再好一點 ##### chun-fu Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Lakefront Luxury](https://www.expedia.ca/Queenstown-Hotels-Lakefront-Luxury.h37329794.Hotel-Information) > - [Lakeview Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Tekapo-Hotels-Lakeview-Cottage.h37916190.Hotel-Information) > - [Ormlie Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Waiohiki-Hotels-Ormlie-Lodge.h9626443.Hotel-Information) > - [Kaikoura Waterfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Kaikoura-Waterfront-Apartments.h46121792.Hotel-Information) > - [Tasman Holiday Parks – Beachaven](https://www.expedia.ca/Waihi-Beach-Hotels-Beachaven-Top-10-Holiday-Park.h9624344.Hotel-Information) > - [Stopforths Premium Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Hokitika-Hotels-Stopforths-Premium-Accommodation.h23236034.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) > - [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) > - [Te Anau Central Backpackers](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Anau-Hotels-Te-Anau-Central-Backpackers.h84134490.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) > - [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) > - [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) > - [Abel Tasman Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Marahau-Hotels-Abel-Tasman-Lodge.h20040118.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) > - [Lakes Lodge Okataina](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Okataina-Hotels-Lakes-Lodge-Okataina.h88669411.Hotel-Information) > - [Ruapehu Country Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ohakune-Hotels-Ruapehu-Country-Lodge.h9625899.Hotel-Information) > - [Mohaka River Farm - Campsite](https://www.expedia.ca/Te-Haroto-Hotels-Mohaka-River-Farm.h44895522.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) > - [Kaikoura Luxury Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Kaikoura-Hotels-Waves-Luxury-Apartments.h45744296.Hotel-Information)
