This was our third stay at Te Wanaka lodge, and we will keep coming back here whenever we visit. The room is cosy, clean, and comfortable. There is minimal space to lay out luggage and belongings, and the rooms are feeling a bit older and have some minor signs of wear and tear. Despite this, we still loved our stay here. The staff and owners are so lovely and we have always appreciated the warm welcome we have had here. Until next time Te Wanaka lodge.

A nice, basic, clean accommodation close to the lake front, shops and restaurants. Room was on the main floor and incredible noisy - heard everyone's coming and going and all street traffic but did not disrupt sleep at night. Staff was nice and offered home cooked scrambled eggs and bacon and a nespresso machine as compliments to the room. Not the Ritz for those who rate that as 5 star but Pleasant and convenient, I would stay here again.

Walkable to downtown. Nice breakfast and friendly staff. Nice to have a hot tub, and did use it. Building is a little old, so heard all the squeaks from the room above us.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Adequate parking when the adjacent lot is included. Arrival check-in was confusing with limited parking around reception. Variety of breakfast options and access to hot tub were a plus. The biggest drawback was the lack of outdoor lighting. Steps at the front of property are challenging to navigate at night. Excellent location for nearby dining and shops. Large room with nice amenities.
