Alpine Resort Wanaka THC Hotels and Resorts
4.4/560 Reviews
We stayed here for two nights in December 2023. Our unit (three bedrooms) was simply huge. A family could live here. It has everything that you would ever need. The kitchen was well equipped, there was a washing machine and dryer for clothes etc. The hotel is located about a 3-minute drive from central Wanaka and a 20-minute walk along a nice walking track. The only reason for which I'm giving four stars instead of five is that the main living area got very hot in the afternoon (on a summer day, 20 degrees Celsius). There was no air conditioning, so the room was unbearably hot. The bedrooms that face the other side were much cooler. Then, the next morning, the bedrooms got extremely hot right from early morning and there was no way to cool them down, while the main living area was at a comfortable temperature. The unit could benefit from something to control the temperature. Other than that and maybe the fact that the TV had limited channels and reception cut out a bit, this is a very good place to stay.
Te Wanaka Lodge
4/523 Reviews
Te Wanaka Lodge is a centrally located hotel within 300m of the town center on foot. Rooms are just spacious enough to stay with luggage but a bit tight. There is a shared kitchen, fireplace and relax area within the complex where you are given a cooked breakfast. Breakfast a little on the light side but good enough. This shared space is quite spacious and hospitable. Great value for money.
Bella Vista Motel Lake Wanaka
4.2/551 Reviews
There is nothing wrong with the motel, but it is too expensive. The price is very low, bitkapo and Queenstown are expensive. What is this ghost? Everything else is in the middle of the law without surprises or bad. So it is too expensive to accept.
Apartments on Upton

So, we didn't *not* enjoy staying here, but there were pros and cons, I guess. We have tried to outline them below:   The pros: - The location is pretty good, and is walking distance to the centre of the town - The upstairs units have hill views - The apartments themselves are top notch, with a luxurious feel and a full-sized kitchen and lounge in the larger units   The cons: - The cleaning could have been better (there was enough dust to write my name in the spare room and at the back of the bedside tables in the main room. I think if you want confidence in where you stay, during these COVID times, then perhaps just an extra couple of minutes spent would have been worthwhile - The washing machine was mouldy, so again, a bit of attention cleaning-wise would have resolved this as well - We stayed for four days and never had a car park, so had to park on the street. Perhaps labelling them with unit numbers might help? - A lot of the furniture was in very poor condition: it let the place down a lot because it was as if a rich person had built the apartments and then a poor student had furnished it (this is more of a management thing, I guess) - Oddly, there was no soap or body wash for the shower (we had to go and buy some). Given that there was soap for the bathroom sink and dishwashing liquid for the kitchen (and flannels to wash with), it seemed strange that there were no soap products in the shower, again lending to the feel that it was being managed by broke students - It would have been so wonderful to have more than one towel each (again, the broke students thing) - It would have been nice if we could have had the apartment we asked for and told could be made available (better to under promise and over deliver than the opposite, even if we couldn't get into the apartment we wanted) - again, a management thing   I was a bit of an odd stay. Things seemed polar opposite - some things were super luxurious and other things just seemed cheap. Overall the apartments were beautiful, and of high quality. But one side of the property looks out over the toilets in the campground, and the management of the place seemed to let things down but dropping the quality of the stay down a notch or two. While it's really comfortable, I guess it's a difficult industry to be in at the moment, and perhaps they're looking to cut costs.
Lake Wanaka Lodge
4/511 Reviews
The loch is a bit old, but the experience is good. Go to the lake for 8 minutes, then walk to the lonely tree for about 20 minutes, and walk after dinner is just right. It is also close to the supermarket restaurant. There are two sitting rooms where you can sit down and read. There is a small balcony in the room, you can see the snowy mountains across the lake.
Fairway Motel & Apartments
4.5/544 Reviews
HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND. Don't come here if you want a good time and what you payed for. We paid for 3 queen beds + 1 king bed. All we got was a room with 2 double beds + 1 single bed and an argument with a wall-faced staff member. We talked to a staff member onsite and she tried to tell us we did not need more beds and would fit perfectly in what they gave us. Mate it's not about if we fit or not. We're paying customers and thereby entitled to what we payed for. We tried to explain this to her and she had the nerve to try get us to pay $235NZ for an extra room with 1 queen bed + 1 single bed. We paid for a certain amount of beds and didn't get it and she wanted us to pay even more to still not receive the service. She tried to tell us we told them we only had 1 person staying on our booking form so we showed her our booking confirmation which clearly stated our guest number to be exactly how many people we brought. We even tried to suggest a compromise where they simply bring in an extra mattress. She refused our suggestion and kept trying to push us to pay for an extra room. She deflected all our requests to speak to another staff member, insisting that the manager shared her views. At this point she simply went back to her room despite our attempts to reason. We ended up having to BUILD a bed with two diagonally placed sofas. Upon further inspection of the rooms, we found that the showers were not very clean with spots of mould on the sides and some of the bedroom lights refused to switch on. Furthermore, one of the bedroom heaters did not function. Attached are some photos of the lights and heater. The photos of the beds with are for size reference only - taken in the morning after sleeping.
