Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Parking was easy, staff friendly. The 'donation' laundry works well. Our only issue was with the shower/bath which didnt drain properly and my son was showering in someone elses hair that had come up the drain hole. Probably not the motels fault although they did have a note mentioning that the toilet was prone to blockage (presumably if too much is stuffed into the bowel)

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
