This is a very basic hotel - America style room with old tv , coffee facilities and e suite and little More . Fine for a nights sleep but not somewhere you would want to stay for a while. Bed was comfy and it was quiet. Food options close by.

The room was quite comfortable, had a balcony, and was clean. The room view of the lake was spectacular and most pleasant to see first thing in the morning. Hotel staff were approachable and friendly. The location is most enjoyable.

Recently spent a night at the Wanaka Hotel, cost was $99 and for that we got a Queen sized bed plus a set of bunks, everything was clean and tidy including the bathroom, bed was reasonably comfortable, TV not large but adequate, even a small balcony with chairs. We never ate in either of the hotel restaurants, we cooked our... More

This hotel is nothing special, but it's a good place to lay your head for a night. A great location and reasonable price, I'd recommend this to a friend. My husband and I reserved a room on our way driving between Franz Josef and Te Anau. The staff was helpful and while outdated, the room was just fine for a... More

Stayed 2 or 3 times during skiing season. Rooms are basic, clean and price was right for location and state of the rooms. Has shared kitchen facilities so can do own cooking if required. Overall basic accommodation but priced accordingly. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Third stop on our road trip after an amazing drive went to the i-site on the lake front and got us a room for, wait for it.......$89!!! I-site told us it was bit old but good and clean. Wow this place should be marketed to hippies and the like. You can't call it retro or kitsch because I'm pretty sure... More

Very well located hotel which, whilst perfectly comfortable, needs a bit of TLC to enable it to fulfil its potential; the bathrooms in particular need to be upgraded. Very much enjoyed the dinner in the adjoining Cafe which was open just for our Tour group - one of the best meals we ate in New Zealand. Breakfast on the other... More
