Wanaka Hostels

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! :)

Cozy and quite place with spacious room, host is nice and friendly, near to town area

Reached a day late to check in as there was road closure due to the heavy snow at Lindis pass. Called the Motel and Mark our host, was very kind and assured us that the booking will be held on (which was supposedly 3 days 2 night). Mark was also very kind to fetch us from the bus drop off which was downhill as it was quite late and dark around 730pm. The motel is located uphill of a 10-15mins walk to the nearest restaurants and eatery near the lake. The room was cosy and enough for 3 person. Would definitely come back to Wanaka and stay with them for a longer period.

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.

The accommodation in Alpine Motel is comfortable for 4 of us. However, the kitchen amenities are not complete. Adding on a colander, kitchen paper, aluminium foil would be helpful. No proper knives for cutting meats but when we asked from the manager, Bridgette, she immediately understood our requirements & passed 1 over. Thanks to Bridgette & Rosey who replaced 1 of our electric bed heater that was not working. Appreciate their quick response & excellent service. 👍 The location of this motel is very near to New World supermarket, Puzzling World, Wanaka Lake, Three Parks etc. highly recommended for all who visits Wanaka.

- host was really friendly and approachable. - carpark was first come first served. if carpark is full, there’s parallel street parking beside the motel. - cookware and cutlery were dirty so we had to wash everything before use. - we were located on the second floor, had to carry our luggage up the stairs. - 10 minutes walk to Lake Wanaka. 5-10 minutes walk to supermarket.

The room was spacious and very clean, with a small kitchenette and a fridge. The bathroom was also quite large. We were on the ground floor, and outside there was a big yard with a table and chairs where we could sit, sunbathe, and have tea. It's not far from the city center, and the price, which was a little over 700 RMB, was super value for money. Just one thing: when I booked through Ctrip, the deposit deducted was a bit over 729 RMB, which converted to a little over 181 New Zealand Dollars. However, when I actually paid for the room with my credit card at the hotel, it was charged a bit over 185 NZD, which was about 3 NZD more. This extra charge might have been a service fee, so it's something to be aware of when booking in the future – paying with a credit card at the hotel might incur extra fees.

Great place to stay - so centrally located & convenient. Hosts were fabulous & accommodating. Car parking a little tight when all units full, but there are options

The location is first-rate, the parking is convenient, and the boss is good. If you are late, you will put the key in the mailbox at the door and leave a note on the door.

At first glance, the place seems lovely and inviting. However, on closer inspection, there are quite a few maintenance issues that need attention. Several lights weren’t working (only about 2 out of 5), the carpet wasn’t as clean as it initially appeared, and there was mould in the shower. There are also signs of wear such as plastering around the sink, and the hairdryer made an unhealthy noise when used. The toilet bolts were loose, which was concerning. The bathroom lacks an extractor fan, so it becomes very steamy. The shower head is quite small with low pressure. While there is an outdoor area, it doesn’t offer much privacy as the motel is right on the road. Parking is available on-site, which is a plus, but there are no laundry facilities. There is a makeshift kitchenette with a toaster, microwave, kettle, fridge, and basic cutlery and crockery. However, it’s not suitable for cooking proper meals, and the lack of a sink makes washing up or even filling the kettle inconvenient. On the positive side, the location is excellent—right next to a New World supermarket and very central. Overall, the place is reasonably clean, tidy, and comfortable, but it would benefit from some maintenance.
