Reviews of Wanaka View Motel 4 stars

It was so close to town, we could walk.

Nothing

Great location across from the lake Tea, coffee and milk Well equipped kitchen area Comfortable beds Easy to walk to lake and town Bicycles available which we would have used if staying longer

Single glazed windows Small bedrooms, no cupboard space. Fine for a one night stay but would have struggled if staying longer.

The facilities were clean, and super warm considering it is the middle of winter.

Perfect location, right across the road from park and lake, very warm, nicely updated kitchen and bathroom, comfortable lounge area.

Bedrooms a bit tight, but comfy beds

Great Location

Location is superb as Wanaka Lake is just in front of our eye level view, also good spot for night stargazing.

Location near the lake and town

A little too compact for 3 adults

Great location and views. Good wifi.

Too small for four adults, OK for a couple with small children. Inconvenient bathroom/toilet layout. Shower curtain.

Love the location by the lake. Easy walking distance to grocery and restaurants.

We left some food on the kitchen counter and had sugar ants the next morning. Shower didn’t drain well.

Property was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Great shower. Bed very comfortable. Location very close to town to walk for cafes and restaurants. Owner very friendly. We booked a basement studio. Good size. We were aware that there was not a view, and full kitchen facilities, this is clearly stated in the booking information. This did not bother us at all as we were out n about during the day. Will stay here again. Very good. Thankyou. Vicki & Rex.

location

1. service & staff - We didn't receive any checkin info via booking.com message or email ( we did receive from all other accommodation). , Their reception was closed when we get there, so I had to ring them. The lady answered the phone was very impolite and unhelpful. She asked me to find a paper they put up on the window and read it. I had to apologise, but it is mainly because I didnt expect they would print out all guests info and put on a public place. However, we worked it out finally on our own, because we didn't get any help from the lady who answered the phone. From the very 1st question, she replied 'find the paper and read it', 'read it' , and she literally asked me 'can you read the message? read it to me'. I was very shocked to hear these words of expression and manner, I did ask the lady why she talked with me in such manner, she excused it is because the phone reception and she couldn't hear me clearly. I called her again after having changed to a different spot, she also repeats, 'read the notes' 'read it to me'. I know it is nothing to do with reception, she just likes to give orders to me and taking customers as idiots who can't read or think. There is another group arrived later, and I heard that they had the same problem with the same lady. 2. privacy and security concerns I am very concerned of our privacy and security. They printed all guests' info and their room details on the same paper and display on the reception door which our own info is exposed to anyone who can randomly walk in. Though they had lockbox, but they put our room key in a book next to reception door, no lock no pin, anyone who reads the 'public notes' can take all our keys and access to the room. 3. Food hygiene They repacked the milk themselves and put in a glass bottle with lid, with a date handwritten.

The room was clean and functional. Very comfy bed. Great shower.

Being underneath the owners living area (?) we could hear foot traffic above. Note to owners pls supply bowls and spoons for breakfast cereal.

Its location.

Very old and tired. Extremely cramped bedroom. Woefully basic bathroom. Poor television coverage.
