Blockout curtains are definitely needed…. We couldn’t sleep as soon as the sun was up it was like daylight inside… it’s a bit far out town if you want to walk. White sheets and towels were nice and soft which is high on my list.

Rest assured under new ownership & new management. I had booked then read previous/older reviews & had a wee panic! But WONDERFUL new team, Spotlessly clean with very comfortable double (queen+) bed. The 2 other single beds were in the open lounge/dining area. Kitchen is well thought out for cooking (2 hotplates & Airfryer) & utensils, including usual electric jug & toaster. Staff were excellent, Manager was extremely helpful & 5 stars for customer service. Stayed 1 night - We had 2 nights in Wanaka but wished we had both here. Parking right outside your room, Walk to town in 25mins
