Archway Motels & Chalets ★★★★

📍 64 Hedditch Street, Wanaka

"We stayed at a motel in Wanaka. The owner was very welcoming during check-in, explaining the surroundings and the supermarket's location, which made us feel right at home. The room facilities were great, and both the bathroom and kitchen were spacious. So we bought some groceries and cooked a delicious dinner. Overall, it was a good experience. Recommended!"

Sundale LUMI Pods ★★

📍 217 Wanaka Mount Aspiring Road, Wanaka

"The room is in the mountain bathing and the bathroom is in the outdoor public area. You can see the super beautiful starry sky at night. It is worth staying here for one or two nights. It is very secluded and unique."

Alpine Resort Wanaka THC Hotels and Resorts ★★★★

📍 144/154 Anderson Road, Wanaka

"When we arrived at the hotel late at night, we could see the Milky Way clearly visible to the naked eye, which was very shocking. The room is overall good, with large space and complete facilities"

West Meadows of Wanaka
9.5 (134 reviews)

West Meadows of Wanaka ★★★

📍 44 Cardrona Valley Road, Wanaka

"Relatively speaking, it's not bad. The room is quite big and clean. It's a little far from the town, about 1-2 kilometers. The cleaning is OK."

Te Wanaka Lodge
8.9 (86 reviews)

Te Wanaka Lodge ★★★★

📍 23 Brownston Street, Wanaka

"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."

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 Homestead Lodge & Cottages Hotels in Wanaka

Wanaka Homestead Lodge & Cottages

"The room was nicely decorated, and what was particularly great was its proximity to the park—a 4-minute walk to the Lonely Tree and about a 20-minute walk to the center. The host was very welcoming and recommended a great barbecue restaurant, as shown in picture one. The room was a little small. Wanaka is absolutely gorgeous."

Walnut on Russell Hotels in Wanaka

Walnut on Russell

"Walnut on Russel is a home in Wanaka! The lodge is more polished and modern in person than in the photos. It takes 5-8mins walk to the town center. The floor, linens, and cutleries are super clean and tidy. The washing machine and the dryer are also in good condition. Hayley, the manager, is really warm and kind-she even offered to give me a ride to the lakefront bus stop. Staying here definitely has exceeded my expectations!"

Apartments on Upton Hotels in Wanaka

Apartments on Upton

"Very nice, modern, well equipped apartment. It was all very clean, king size bed was extremely comfortable. Ideal for us for a 2 night stay as we were able to do a bit of washing. Decent sized balcony with outdoor setting although wouldn't have used the barbeque. Parking available right outside the front door. Location is pretty good if you don't mind a short walk into town. One of us found the walk a bit too far but had no problem getting a taxi home. Would stay there again. "

Ahurei Apartments Hotels in Wanaka

Ahurei Apartments

"Compared with the net red ederwater, I recommend this apartment, especially the family, with 3 beds, independent garage, everyone can sleep well, 10 minutes walk to the lonely tree attraction, 10 minutes walk from the city, the picture is the front snow mountain landscape, the door is a large lawn, Children can easily let go of themselves, Wanaka has few people, very casual, it is good to slow down for a few days"

Hampshire Holiday Parks – Wanaka ★★★
"This hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes' walk from Lake Wanaka. The only drawback is that transport in Wanaka isn't great, so if you don't have a car, you're pretty much limited to walking. It's a bit of a trek from the hotel to the supermarket and other commercial areas, which can be a hassle when carrying groceries back. However, the kitchen in the room is fully equipped, which was a huge plus. Overall, I was quite satisfied with my stay."

Haka House Wanaka ★★★★
"Wanaka itself isn't a big place, and Haka is considered one of the higher-quality hostels, plus it's very close to the town center. Even during holidays, the cleanliness is consistently good. Unlike the Haka in Queenstown, perhaps because there's more space here, the accommodations are individual buildings, whereas in Queenstown, the entire second floor is dorm rooms. However, there's a gravel path leading up to this Haka, which will definitely test your suitcase wheels! Overall, it's pretty good. You can walk right out to stargaze at night and then quickly hop back into bed."

"The hotel is in a great location, just a 5-minute drive from Lake Wanaka. The hotel facilities are very new, the rooms also have kitchens, and the main thing is that parking is very convenient and you can park at the door of the room!"
