Low rating as we didn’t stay here, changed our minds. Drove in and straight out and took a hit on the cost. Looked run down and further out from town/lake than we wanted. We went to the wonderful Belvedere apartments instead which was well worth it.

Manager did not like that I’d booked via an online booking site. This motel is very rule orientated. The unit was not serviced other than removing rubbish. Unit appeared initially to be clean though with a heavy smell of air freshener. Mould in shower. Cooking facilities were an air fryer and an electric frypan which was badly in need of a clean. However the bed linen was fresh and clean. No individual toiletries or face cloths provided.

Even though it states sound proof rooms - they are certainly not. Can hear everything from people in room next to you showering or running a tap, people outside walking, and a dog next door barking. Also penalties apply for travelling for business, which is fine however there is no mention of this until after you have booked your non refundable booking

Nice stay at this motel in Wanaka. We stayed in the two bedroom - the beds were comfortable, the kitchen had basic utensils (as well as Teas and Coffee), but no cooking oil. The laundry was really convenient and nice - cost $5 for one load (both wash and dry). Staff were really friendly and helpful! I would stay here again and would recommend it!

This reservation was cancelled on 13/02/24, which is when we requested a booking. Manuka said they had cancelled this. I see a charge has been raised and demand it be reversed.
