Stayed in the 1 bedroom suite, lake view. Large living area. The room was immaculate and very comfortable. Excellent and inexpensive. About 2km out of town, so you mostly drive in to eat/drink. Didn't try the onsite restaraunt.

Kia Ora We're pleased you enjoyed your suite during your recent stay. I wonder if you tried our walkway at the front of the hotel that weaves its way through poplars and beside Lake Wanaka to access the township. Kind regards Trish More

Four of us shared a 2 bedroom apartment with kitchen facilities, lounge and dining. It was perfect as the bedrooms could be shut off, leaving a spacious communal area. Bathrooms were well equipped - complimentary newspaper each morning (we stayed for 4 nights) - quiet location within the complex. The only comment from our group was that the single beds... More

apart from the location there is nothing that sets this resort apart from the numerous mediocre hotels in different parts of the world. the food menu is limited to 8 main course dishes at best and the food tastes terrible. the service is below average as is obvious from the fact that the hotel has a poor guest to staff...

It is difficult for us to rectify any matters that may fall short of our guest expectations if we aren't told at the time. You... More

Room was huge and clean but feel really old and not cosy. Breakfast buffet was good with a decent variety of food. Location is good with a nice view of the lake even if a bit far away for the center city. As, we just stayed there for one night, we cannot judge about facilities, activities or services. Globally, there... More

This hotel is a good walk outside town. The rooms are large and clean but have a 70's motel feel about them. Breakfast was mediocre compared to some of the smaller guesthouses and larger boutique hotels we stayed in. We were independent travellers and this place is definately geared up for large coach parties. Not a major issue for us.
