Wanaka is an amazing place to stay. I get the impression that most travellers use Wanaka as a stop off to the Glaciers like we did. If i was planning my trip again I would spend at least a few nights in Archway motel, Wanaka. The hosts Jacqui and Mark can not do enough for you, they really are the best hosts you could wish for. Mark went out of his way to help my wife and I reschedule our trip to the Glaciers following the road closure at Hass. I can not think him enough for his reassuring assistance. Add to the above, the chalets are extremely high-end, comfort, quality, home from home. My wife and I would stay here again and for longer if we get back to NZ. Heart felt thank you from Dave and Glen (Wales)

The spot of the studio was great, very easy to get to the famous Wānaka Tree. Also, we loved the letter from Goe, which is full of recommendations about everything around the studio. That was so kind of her. We felt quite cozy and relaxed in Goe’s studio, especially the massage chair, the comfortable sofa, the bright bathroom, and the beautiful kitchen. Goe was really nice to us that she waited at the door to greet and welcome us. The handwritten letter was very lovely. Thanks for everything. We had a wonderful night in Wānaka!!!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this beautifully decorated and comfortable studio. It was so peaceful and relaxing, and located just a few minutes by car to the town center and lake. We appreciated Jen’s delicious continental breakfast and beverages, and the convenience of having it right there in the studio’s kitchen. I would highly recommend!

The little house was amazing! Clean, well maintained and clearly owned by people who love/respect their property. It was modern and comfortable. I liked the fact that it had a kitchenette instead of a kitchen because some guests cook like there is no tomorrow and make everything smell so bad. This accomodation smelled fresh and clean. The location is excellent! So close to the beach and in a very cute neighborhoud. The garden (and its privacy) is the cherry on top!

    Wanaka is a great little town.

    Wanaka is a great little town. Primarily a stepping stone to the ski resorts. However we did not go the the resorts. We did do a day trip to Blue Pools and the nearby waterfalls (Thunder falls). the drive was scenic and the pools were well worth having a look at. Thunderfalls is certainly a photo spot as well. We circled back to wanaka and had a look at the Wanaka tree. Its a great picture just prior to sunset as the branches of the tree have and orangy color to them.

    Wanaka is a beautiful place, the magnificent scenery , ease to get around and the variety of food options makes it a place to meet a variety of experiences. Cycling along the tracks looked like a exciting option for getting around. Puzzling World was a great family outing and is worth a visit. The illusion rooms are fun and the maze was a great fun challenge.

    Wanaka is stunning.

    Wanaka is stunning. We were there in Autumn and with the leaves changing colour it made for amazing photos. A visit to the Lake Wanaka for the world most photograph tree is a must. Puzzle World is fun and worth the visit. The Wanaka Lavender farm was beautiful and the farm animals is a plus.

    Has come of age in recent years.

    Has come of age in recent years. For older NZ’ers it offers a much more relaxed experience than nearby Queenstown and still has plenty to see and do. The approach from the West Coast through Mt Aspiring reserve can only be described as spectacular. In the fine weather exit over the Crown Range via Cardrona also fits this category.

    Hotel style accommodation right on the lake. Direct access to the walking path around Roy's Bay. Well appointed with coffee maker, kettle, stove, full fridge, crockery. Very comfortable. I enjoyed the heated bathroom and was very appreciative of the washer dryer in room. I noticed they have two EV chargers available as well ($20 flat rate). Delicious dinner at the restaurant there. But quiet and realising at the same time.

    We stayed in one of the one-bedroom apartments, the apartment itself was large, the bed/couch were very comfortable. The bathroom was very nice, particularly the shower. The apartment was very private and close to a patisserie, grocery store, pub, and laundromat (coin-operated, we were able to get change from hotel reception). The assigned parking was very helpful too.

    We were able to spend a happy moment looking out at the unexpected million dollar view of Lake Hawea from the room. There was a moderately sized veranda with wooden chairs and a table, making it a great place to relax and enjoy the view. The restaurant in the hotel had a great view, was spacious, the staff was friendly, and the food was delicious.

The hosts provided such clear and efficient communication, the apartment was tidy, the heating was amazing as our stay was in August and the accommodation was stocked with everything we needed. Parking was easy and location was great and a close walk to the Cardrona Hotel. Highly recommend!

    location is perfect. Nearby restaurant and supermarket just opposite the hotel. Alcohol shop just next door of the hotel. Lake is just 2mins walk. Everything is perfect, although the soundproof is not very good but it was very quiet in at night.
