How this was given 4 stars I cannot imagine. Looking at their website we appeared to have the best room described as the Cottage - it was really like a big garden shed and not even that big, really pokey.  4 windows with passing guests able to look into two, and the others overlooking a car park! The room was badly maintained - broken blind, light not working, bins not emptied.
Breakfast was no better, tinned fruit and single choice of cooked breakfast.
Avoid!!

Awful

Management was very rude on arrival. No payment no key. Don't take too much milk for tea. Need it for breakfast.
Room was small but in good location.Breakfast was adequate with cooked option and tinned fruit. Didnt bother with hot tub as looked difficult to set up.
Would go elsewhere.

Disappointing stay

We stayed in ‘the cottage’ which smelt musty from the off and needed to be aired . Some of the fittings were loose and the whole place ultimately had the feeling that it had let itself go and was living on past reputation. For example a whole load of building material had been left in the courtyard and not tidied away.

However, on the plus side , the welcome was great , the staff friendly and the breakfast fine.

A little tired and unloved

The place was nice enough - decent rooms, nice lounge area, hot tub (though it took a couple of hours to heat up past lukewarm), and the breakfast was tasty. 

But the owner snatched defeat from the jaws of victory at the end - we popped in to grab a cup of coffee a couple hours after checking out, and were rudely told "you're like bad pennies, can't get rid of you" (not in a lighthearted way) and admonished "you really shouldn't be here. Other guests are checking in. You need to leave as soon as possible." I suppose it's fair to say that guests should not swing by after checking out, but there was no need for that level of rudeness to save 5 cents on a cup of coffee. A shame, left a bad taste in our mouth after an otherwise nice stay 


Nice lodging, rude management 

Te Wanaka Lodge is a centrally located hotel within 300m of the town center on foot. Rooms are just spacious enough to stay with luggage but a bit tight. There is a shared kitchen, fireplace and relax area within the complex where you are given a cooked breakfast. Breakfast a little on the light side but good enough. This shared space is quite spacious and hospitable. Great value for money.

Te Wanaka Lodge - would give this place 4 out of five stars. Good staff, food and facilities. Excellent location.

Pictures do not in any way reflect the state of the room. Very poor condition, poor repair and extremely small. Very dated.
Our room smelled of old socks!!!!
The price we paid was ridiculous for the room.
Had previously stayed at an air BNB and were on a return journey from elsewhere passing through Wanaka, the price we paid for the air BNB was the same and was amazing in comparison.
Disgusting place.

Best look elsewhere

Quaint lodge, the team went to extra effort to provide a ready made portacot and cuddly toy for my daughter (which was so lovely of them). Unfortunately windows don’t have fly screens so we had to keep them shut to avoid bugs getting in, which made the room really stuffy and hot. Room doesn’t have air-conditioning but reception was helpful and provided a pedestal fan. Breakfast was homely and staff were extremely friendly. Would recommend.

Quaint family friendly lodge in heart of Wanaka

We stayed for 2 nights in the garden cottage in temperatures of 30 degrees. Although quite spacious with mini kitchen facilities it was quite dark as you needed the blinds half closed for privacy and the windows only opened part way for security so there was very little air.
The location was good with access to all that Wanaka has to offer and we were able to park either outside the property or in the public car park behind.    The staff were helpful and friendly, the communal areas were nice (comfy chairs in the lounge) and there were tea and coffee making facilities in the dining room. Breakfast was buffet style with a cooked option made to order.    Everywhere was spotless.
Although I didn’t go into the bedrooms they might be more light and airy than the cottage when the weather is hot.

Convenient location for all that Wanaka has to offer.

Definitely recommended!!

Great room: Clean, comfortable bed.
Good breakfast.
Helpful, welcoming staff.
Hot tub a bonus (especially after the walk to Rippon winery).

Close (5 minute walk) to a good selection of eateries on the lakeside.


Comfortable stay

Beautiful place. Lovely dining and lounge areas as well as outdoor patio with flowering bushes and a jacuzzi. Room clean and comfy, staff super friendly and welcoming and kind. Location great, street parking adequate, centrally located. Missed out on the cooked breakfast as they're low on staff (boo pandemic) but granola and yogurt and toast and oj and coffee/tea did the job nicely.
