Amazing little apartment in the heart of Wanaka -- <5 min walk from all restaurants and shops.  But the highlight is the AMAZING view from the balcony -- the best part of my stay was sitting out there enjoying the view with a cup of tea or glass of wine.  Parking can be a bit tight if they are at full capacity. Would recommend to anyone traveling to the area!

Amazing lake views!

Great location , great price and nice rooms however the inability to service the rooms is a big negative. The reason was the lack of staff!! Could well be true but nowhere else in the area was this given as a reason not to do something. The bin could have been emptied at least!! 
That said we would return as the rooms out the front have great views and everything is within walking distance.  Good value for money and maybe the price reflected the lack of room servicing. The manager is hsrdcase- nice friendly guy.

Everything really good except no service for the rooms.

Easy check in. Fabulous location with a lakefront west facing balcony😲🙏☀️. Friendly staff, large room, extra large double bed, wished we could have stayed longer. 

Good toiletries and tea/coffee/milk.

Walk to cafes, bars and restaurants. Strongly recommend Amigos. We went on Taco Tuesday and food and service was spot on. Also try the Churros!

Amazing location, great sleep quality!

A good motel: good sized room with good view from balcony over lake: easy parking behind block. Good facilities / comfortable : just a 5 min wander to lake side town centre and eating/ drinking places

Lake side motel

The Lakefront Twin studio was perfect--very comfortable and spacious and so enjoyable to sit looking over the lawn and down to the lakefront-so close! Also close to the cafes and shops in town and in the middle of stunning country. The heated floor in the bathroom was much appreciated too. Definitely staying here again!

Perfect !

Overnight stay in Wanaka on business. Great location, beautiful views of the lake from the balcony. Service was great, very friendly and professional. Easy check in & out. 
Rooms had lots of amenities. Bathrooms slightly dated, but shower was hot and that’s all that counts.

Wanaka Overnight Stop

Our family were set to stay here at the end of September for a night. We had a family holiday planned and really wanted to take our kids to Wanaka because both my partner and I have always enjoyed it. We decided to go “the long way” so we could spend a night in Wanaka. 
Unfortunately we had to change plans and travel routes due to state highway road closures from recent flooding and slips. We informed the motel immediately once we realised and they sounded very accommodating and understanding when I spoke to them over the phone. I was lead to believe that we would in fact not be charged. 
We had booked through booking.com and were told that to cancel our reservation we had to go through them but he would keep an eye out and ensure everything would be sorted. 
We were very disappointed to see that our request to waive the fee was declined by The Moorings.
I understand that at times, charges deserve to be charged however having to cancel our stay was partially due to reasons outside of our control - we really could not justify adding on an extra 8.5hours travel time just for a nights stay instead of what would usually be 2.5hour drive, especially with two young children. 
With plans to return home via Wanaka, it is unlikely that we will consider The Moorings.

Disappointed With Charge

The motel is in a very handy location, you can walk into the main shopping and restaurants and bars. It was a fairly standard motel inside, but does have amazing views of the lake. I think that’s what you pay for the view. The toilet in our bathroom had been broken and was glued and blue tacked up and looked like it had been that for sometime. Room had everything we needed and bed was comfortable. It was full but didn’t hear any noise at night. 
Nothing amazing apart from the views but still clean and tidy.

Nice, clean rooms. Nothing special apart from the views.

Really nice apartment, however, it was on the small side.  
We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment, but dining table only had 4 chairs, as did the outdoor setting, and kitchen was also quiet small.
However, apartment was clean and tidy, and was well positioned.

Nicely positioned

We reserved one of their 3-bedroom lakeview units because (supposedly) it was the only room they had left while we were in Wanaka  The owner/manager had us sign a contract for a 3-bedroom - and prepay our entire stay - before he put us in a 2-bedroom until with a mostly obstructed lakeview. When we asked him to refund us the difference for taking a smaller unit, he refused. Don’t sign or prepay for a room here until you see it. The management has no integrity.
