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.

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.

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

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.

No one at reception when we arrived, notice on door “ be back shortly”. Rang phone number on the notice, no response for 30 minutes, staff member was inside but forgot to take notice of the door. Unit was small, bed not made up properly chairs uncomfortable. Bed very hard, club chairs. Room looked tired and needs an update, not value for what we payed. We do not recommend this stay.

Hotelier cancelled booking!

The hotelier lectured my wife twice over the phone on using Expedia to book, stating we should be supporting NZ businesses by booking direct, and not sending money offshore to the US. On arrival, I had to listen to the same spiel, and also that he had cancelled our Expedia booking, as discussed with my wife, which was an outright lie!! She did not authorise him to do so. He also rebooked our room direct so he didn’t have to pay fee’s to Expedia (hoteliers words). He discounted us a few dollars less than our Expedia cost…wow!! Because of this we have now lost loyalty rewards of around 4-5 times the value. We travel a lot, and always book through the app, but we shouldn’t have be confronted over how we book. We don’t have time to ring around trying to find available rooms; and we shouldn’t have to justify why we book the way we do either. We will not stay here again, nor will we recommend. If planning on booking through the app to get rewards, I wouldn’t bother as you probably won’t get them! Other than that, the room was fine.
