Liked: Staff & service
It was a decent, clean, safe place to stay for one night. :) Staff allowed us a late check-out the morning of, which we really appreciated! Easy parking, good toiletries, simple but efficient kitchenette layout for coffee or tea with a fridge and sink. Nothing fancy, but comfy overall.

Bridget, the motel manager, was lovely—she called ahead to check our arrival time and made sure everything was perfect with the room. The place has been nicely renovated. We drove, so we’re not sure about nearby facilities, but Wanaka is absolutely beautiful.
