Room was comfortable and spacious. A lot of construction noise with renovations in progress. For some reason checkin staff insisted on taking a deposit in addition to tge room rate which was held for 3 days after we left. Won’t be returning

Check in was late. Took until 5pm each day to get the room made up and the WiFi in our room was almost non existent. Was told there weren’t other complaints and should be fine but never really cared. It’s a shame because it is such a nice property. The restaurant was great. Nice beer on tap. And Wanaka itself is a fantastic part of the world!

Spectacular views of Lake Wanaka and the lush greens and gardens around the hotel lakeside frontage. Quiet and tranquil with indoor ambiance that pleases the senses and silences the mind.

There are no lifts and we were on the first floor. This would have been okay if there was staff available to assist with luggage, but we had to do this ourselves and we are in our sixties. We were surprised at the lack of air-conditioning in the rooms.
