Oakridge Resort Lake Wanaka
8.8 (221 reviews)

Oakridge Resort Lake Wanaka ★★★★

📍 20 Studholme Road, Wanaka

"This accommodation is absolutely amazing! Even in winter, I can enjoy the hot springs, and it also has a gym, sauna, and swimming pool. Definitely a 5-star experience!"

Adventure Wanaka Hostel
8.9 (27 reviews)

Adventure Wanaka Hostel ★★★

📍 56 Brownston Street, Wanaka

"Parking was very limited; parking at another hotel across the street required walking a bit. The hot water in the bathroom was inconsistent, sometimes hot and sometimes cold. There weren't many seats in the restaurant, so we had to eat outdoors. Thankfully, we were given a lower bunk because we checked in very late. Overall, it was okay."

Bella Vista Motel Lake Wanaka
8.7 (51 reviews)

Bella Vista Motel Lake Wanaka ★★★★

📍 2 Dunmore Street, Wanaka

"The booking showed it was for floors 1 and 2, but I was assigned a dark, corner room on the first floor (accessible only). I said I could wait for another room, but the front desk said this was the only room of this type available, not a two-story room as stated in the booking. The room was dark and damp, the air conditioner was very noisy, and the door opened directly onto the ground, which was very uncomfortable. The good thing is that it's close to the town center, making it convenient for visiting attractions and shopping."

ASURE Brookvale Motel
8.8 (77 reviews)

ASURE Brookvale Motel ★★★★

📍 35 Brownston Street, Wanaka

"It's a one-bedroom apartment with a small kitchen, microwave, and fridge. It's very close to Lake Wanaka and has its own parking. The cleanliness and service were good. Overall, I was satisfied with my two-night stay."

West Meadows of Wanaka
9.5 (135 reviews)

West Meadows of Wanaka ★★★

📍 44 Cardrona Valley Road, Wanaka

"The facilities are very new and clean! Check-in and check-out were easy and simple. The location is far from the lake and the central/downtown area, which is the only downside. However, if you have a car, it's fine!"

9.1 (99 reviews)

The Moorings Motel and Apartments ★★★★

📍 17 Lakeside Road, Wanaka

"Overall, it is well-maintained, but the owner is a bit picky."

Mishika Retreat and Lodge Hotels in Wanaka

Mishika Retreat and Lodge

"My husband and I had the pleasure of staying in the Sanctuary Suite at Mishika Retreat and Lodge for 3 nights in July 2026. Given this accomodation had only opened for approximately 6 weeks, there were limited reviews, so we booked this without much expectations. However, we were incredibly surprised and thus I wanted to be one of the first to leave a full proper review myself. Immediately upon arrival we were warmly greeted by the host, Abhishek, who gave us a tour around the house as well as many tailored suggestions on how to best spend our time in Wanaka, including hikes, places to eat and things to do. We then spent the following days having ongoing wonderful conversations with him and his team as they were always around to be a friendly face, work and have lovely chats. Honestly speaking, this is one of the loveliest accomodations I’ve ever stayed in, to the point that I would happily live here for the rest of my life. Unlike other accomodations which provide the barebones for travel (ie bed, bathroom, amenities and room), it is clear that Abishek and his team have poured their heart and soul into making Mishika Lodge a true “home away from home” experience. As a guest you can choose to rent a room or the entire lodge, but regardless, you have full access to the lounge, dining room, kitchen, entertainment room, garden, hot spa (readily heated to 39C!) and pool, all of which are shared spaces for guests at all times so that you aren’t confined to just relaxing in your room. For instance, you can curl up in front of the fireplace with your book, cast your videos onto the TV, or eat your meal at the kitchen bar like home. Our room itself was extremely comfortable - the bed, pillows, heating, fan, bath were all perfect. In terms of convenience, there is free parking on the property, free use of the washing machine and dryer, and it is only a 3-4 minute walk into city centre. Abhishek would also respond to any questions we had over WhatsApp within minutes which was fantastic. Lastly, one of their workers, Lisa, would typically be around in the mornings in the kitchen to bake fresh goodies for the guests, so it was a delightful surprise to have pancakes in bed (albeit an exception) on one of our mornings! All in all, I felt extremely grateful for the experience we had. It’s an unusual feeling to be so excited / look forward to returning to your accomodation to “enjoy” it after a day of exploring but I certainly felt that way about Mishika! We will return to stay over and over again without a doubt and be recommending it to all friends and family. Thanks again, Fiona & Jordan"

Wanaka Luxury Apartments Hotels in Wanaka

Wanaka Luxury Apartments

"The best accommodation of my trip to New Zealand! I didn't see a front desk; check-in was self-service. They provided a key and a simple paper map in the mailbox at reception, and I found my room after a short while. It was a complete one-bedroom apartment with a spacious living room, a bedroom connected to a small garden, and even a walk-in closet. Very American style and quiet, convenient parking, and fully equipped with heating, a kitchen, and other amenities – fantastic! And it's worth mentioning that it was the only hotel in the South Island where I stayed for two nights that offered housekeeping service during the break!"

Marina Terrace Apartments, Wanaka Hotels in Wanaka

Marina Terrace Apartments, Wanaka

"if you want to sit outside then don’t go for a studio apartment. But the cost to have this option is an extra $250 NZ per night. So unless there are more than 2 of you it’s not worth it. However Wānaka is fabulous place and if the weather is good ( as we had) then there are loads of option to sit outside and enjoy the sun. We arrived and had booked a studio apartment ( that was all that was available) Thought we would miss outside seating but no. Studio was outstanding. Fabulous views of the lake from inside. It’s near the road, but unless you want to sleep in to 12 noon the traffic noise won’t bother you. Would highly recommend staying here. Worth noting tho- we didn’t get the room serviced for a 2 night stay, but extra towels etc were made available."

"Ctrip didn't give my email address to the store, so I didn't receive the check-in instructions. After consulting other guests, I found out that the key needed to be collected at another store at the entrance of the town. At that time, it happened to be a rush hour, and the road at the entrance was basically impassable. It ended up being a half-hour walk back and forth. Get the key"

"The temperature in Wanaka is generally not very high, but the temperature on the day I went there actually reached 30 degrees. This hotel has no air conditioning, so it was quite stuffy at this temperature."

Edgewater Hotel ★★★★
"We were assigned a room on the second floor with no option to change it. The second floor felt just like a motel. The room was tiny, the balcony was tiny, and the only upside was the lake view. It's definitely not worth the price; you could easily find better hotels in Wanaka. The Edgewater Restaurant, however, was quite good."

"This hotel offers free parking, which is a huge plus. During New Zealand's winter, the heating lamp in the bathroom makes it feel much warmer, which is really nice. The breakfast was decent, and the yogurt was quite tasty."

West Meadows of Wanaka ★★★
"The hotel room was spacious and comfortable, providing plenty of room to relax and move around. Overall, everything was spotlessly clean, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the essentials, making it super convenient to whip up a late-night meal whenever we wanted. While the location isn't right in the heart of the city center, it's just a quick few-minute drive away, so getting around was still incredibly easy and hassle-free. Highly recommend! :)"

The Moorings Motel and Apartments ★★★★
"Facilities: The kitchen is fully equipped, including a two-in-one hot pot and barbecue pot. Enjoy hot pot one day and barbecue the next, a delight. Cleanliness: Very good, clean and hygienic, and a very comfortable stay. Service: The check-in guy was very friendly and gave us some directions. Environment: The hotel is right in front of Lake Wanaka, and a 5-minute walk to the commercial street full of food. It's also very close to the local supermarket, NEW WORLD. The walk along the lake to the loneliest tree takes about 25 minutes."
