A nice quiet location with views of the lake. 5 mins into town centre by car or a 20-25 min walk along the lake side.

We stayed one night in a superior apartment. We were very happy with our accommodation choice. The apartment was one of the renovated ones. It was roomy and had a view onto the lake and really convenient parking right outside. The dining at the hotel was okay, although much better options in the town of Wanaka, about 20 minutes walk away.

Great place to stay. Staff was helpful and friendly, the location is outstanding and so is the property. Green grass from the property leading up to the lake where I took a swim. Beautiful landscaping, relaxing and calm. It’s an easy walk to the town center yet away from its hustle and bustle. I walked the trail along the lake, it was delightful. I’ll definitely come back.

Beautiful hotel resort. We had a suite that was just perfect! The layout and views were amazing and it felt very spacious. There’s a restaurant available. The coffee breakfast was delicious. It is an older resort but very well maintained. We didn’t stay very long but there is a sauna available. The lake is just a quick walk out from any of the rooms and restaurants. I’m definitely planning to return to this location and the resort. Thank you!

Hidden gem on the lake with walking track and shops cafes and restaurants close by. Facilities were also great with spas, bikes available if needed. The hotel restaurant was really good with a great selection of wines and meals.
Would recommend a longer stay than 1 night...could have stayed a week.

Beautiful hotel property right on the lake, in a quiet part of town yet still close enough to everything. Booked last night and was quite happy with my decision. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely location in a beautiful setting.
The rooms have no AC, but we managed because the weather was lovely and we could keep the balcony door and bathroom window open for a cross breeze.
