Archway Motels & Chalets ★★★★
"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!"
Hampshire Holiday Parks – Wanaka ★★★
"The cabin is absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean and really comfortable! The views are amazing from the cabin windows - we were blown away and didn’t want to leave!!"
Edgewater Hotel ★★★★
"Facilities: The selected suite had excellent facilities, including cooking amenities, a dishwasher, and a washer-dryer combo. Service: I stayed for two nights, and it's clearly a very popular place. On the first night, I was assigned room 301, which, as shown in the picture, had a corner window directly facing the parking lot. The next morning, I spoke with the front desk attendant about changing rooms. Since they were fully booked, I was eventually moved to room 703, which faced a small pond. They even left a thoughtful card and some chocolates. Overall, the hotel environment was good. It's a short walk to the Lone Tree and an acceptable distance from the town center."
Haka House Wanaka ★★★★
"A Really good palce I highly recommend the crepes across from the street called Charlie Brown Really worth trying!"
Oakridge Resort Lake Wanaka ★★★★
"Like a warm home, clean, hygienic, quiet, and comfortable. The service is also great."
Sundale LUMI Pods ★★
"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."
Wanaka Hotel ★★★
"Booked a room with two beds, but got one with a single bed instead! That's a bit off. Otherwise, it was okay. Good enough for a night's sleep."
Alpine Resort Wanaka THC Hotels and Resorts ★★★★
"The room was clean and had almost all the utensils needed for cooking. The living room was spacious and the bathroom was nice. There was a garage that opened and closed automatically, probably because it was winter. However, it was just the right width for a car, so it was a bit difficult to get out of the car. There is nothing around, so it may be inconvenient if you don't rent a car."
West Meadows of Wanaka ★★★
"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! :)"

Marina Terrace Apartments, Wanaka
"The downside is that the hotel has no service 😂 and the view is blocked, but everything else is ok"
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 Luxury Apartments
"A fantastic apartment with two master bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen downstairs – very convenient. The apartment is very close to Wānaka Lake, and the surrounding area offers excellent amenities, making it ideal for road trips. Highly recommended!"
The Moorings Motel and Apartments
"We were a family of 5 and loved our warm and well appointed apartment in a fantastic location, with wonderful views in Wanaka. We had everything we needed for a super comfortable stay, and more. The beds were so comfy, underfloor heating in bathrooms appreciated, loads of fresh linen and kitchen utensils to make meals. Plenty of space for all of us, and a fabulous walk to the summit of Roy’s Peak was our highlight. Thanks Peter and team 🙏"
Club Wyndham Wanaka, Trademark Collection by Wyndham
"The stay is very good and strategic location. The bed is comfortable. Near to the Roys Peak track."
Lakeshore Springs Apartments
Black Peak View
"A plus was the complementary breakfast. Very peaceful environment, close to town, helpful and friendly host."
ASURE Brookvale Motel
"Very accommodating & friendly would definitely recommend"
Alpine Motel
"The room was clean, tidy, and hygienic."
Wanaka View Motel
"This motel has to be one of the best locations in Wānaka, an easy walk to restaurants shops and supermarket. The motel is located across the road from a large park, looking out to the lake, the units are extremely warm and well appointed. The owner is on site and readily available for anything you might need or any local information. This is our second stay at this motel and will definitely be back!"
Clearbrook Motel & Serviced Apartments
"Location: Not by the lake, but very close to the food truck area, just around the corner. Popular slow-cooked beef and lamb, and bagels are all within a two- or three-minute walk. Walk along the road in front, passing various shops, and you'll reach the lake in ten minutes – very convenient. A small stream flows in front, and ducks roam the lawn. All rooms have balconies, and the ground floor is a lawn. The rooms are spacious with high ceilings. Children love this accommodation. Parking is allocated by room number and is ample. The front desk has closing hours; please contact them in advance if you are arriving late."
Wanaka Homestead Lodge & Cottages
"Great for photos, very close to the lake, the owner was very welcoming, showed us around the house, and recommended restaurants and attractions. A fantastic experience."
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
"Ctrip didn't give my email address to the store, so I didn't receive the check-in instructions. After consulting other guests, I found out that the key needed to be collected at another store at the entrance of the town. At that time, it happened to be a rush hour, and the road at the entrance was basically impassable. It ended up being a half-hour walk back and forth. Get the key"
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"
