A nice quiet location with views of the lake. 5 mins into town centre by car or a 20-25 min walk along the lake side.

Ok for accommodation but eat elsewhere

Booked a Premier Suite for a one night stay. It was spacious, well equipped, had a comfortable bed and a very useful washer/dryer. Was hoping for a decent view of the lake, but we just had a glimpse as the room was facing towards the town and any view was obscured by trees. The biggest disappointment was dinner and breakfast. Our main dishes for dinner was unbelievably salty. Breakfast was very below par for what is claimed to be a luxury hotel.

Being situated on the lake it was advertised as a luxury property however we were very disappointed by the standard as it is quite outdated and in need of a renovation. Staff were not very nice when we arrived which set off our stay on a negative start. It is not sound proof so you can hear your neighbours. It has potential but we feel they take the location for granted and let down the experience of NZ and experiencing Wanaka as everyone should have a better experience than that. We wouldn’t go back as we can have a better stay elsewhere for the cost.

Lovely location in a beautiful setting. The rooms have no AC, but we managed because the weather was lovely and we could keep the balcony door and bathroom window open for a cross breeze.

The second night of our stay, the hot water for shower ran out and we were told that the water tank will heat up in 40 mins or so, but it didn’t. We ended up showering almost cold water…. And we only used it for less than 30mins.

Hidden gem on the lake with walking track and shops cafes and restaurants close by. Facilities were also great with spas, bikes available if needed. The hotel restaurant was really good with a great selection of wines and meals. Would recommend a longer stay than 1 night...could have stayed a week.

It is a nice location with mountains and lake views. The front desk staff are knowledgeable, especially Francis who gives us good advice regarding the local hiking. However the hot tubs are not working while we are there.
