Not within walking distance cbd. Easy parking. Could be cleaner cob webs on walls. Old and worn looking. Heated pools not working but apparently fixed after. Noisy. Clearly a 2 story townhouse that has been converted to self contained room downstairs and 2 separate hotel type rooms upstairs. Hence rooms not soundproof to the point you can hear people going to the toilet upstairs- right above bed. 3 star property.

The resort was really good for the pools, the relaxing feel to it, and just out of the busy heart of Wanaka. It was a great place to relax after a few days of tramping.
