Without a doubt beautiful view of the lake, but the interior was tired with limited facilities, no plugs or mirrors except up a narrow flight of stairs to the mezzanine bedroom. Sky tv box in the room but no sky channels available. Very expensive for what it was.

The view was lovely from this property, Although it was quite dated inside, and the shower wasnt draining well so it would pool as you shower. It also took a very long time for the water to warm up.

Disappointing - you pay for the view but that’s it
The view is great, the room was ok, tired and needs updating but the overriding smell of damp and mould that came from the bathroom ruined the vibe of the views. Cutlery wasn’t clean and I had 2 spiders to contend with too.
Mould in the bathroom
More mould and dirt - would you touch the window to open it!?

The most amazing aspect of this motel is its spectacular views of Lake Wanaka. I loved that it is away from the town, traffic and noise, something quite unusual for a motel. It was certainly adequate, although the place needs maintenance, especially the bathroom and toilet which need refreshing. Worst are the steps from the car parking up to the units - they are uneven and really quite dangerous if you are carrying luggage. Not a good place for anyone with a disability, although the units on the street frontage are probably ok. Our unit didn't have a covered porch as did the others downstairs. If booking again I'd request a room with a porch.

I actually think Expedia is partly at fault for not vetting this property, which is not only not a 3 star but fails to meet the minimum standards of hygiene and cleanliness for basic accommodation. There were hairs on the sheets, gross effluvia on the duvet covers, crumbs all over the couch, and grime everywhere in the corners, including the bathroom. It's a classic roach motel in other words, and every review here about cleanliness should be regarded as suspect, unless I got the only dirty one, which seems highly unlikely. I get that everyone is short staffed--it's a bad time, still--but there are some basic things one has to do when running a motel and cleaning seems like step one.

Amazing view of lake and mountains. Short easy walk into township. Good old fashioned motel.Comfortable bed. Kitchenette unit very basic. Just needs a good dedicated cleaner and not rely on guests to clean as we had to wash the dishes on arrival.
