Wonderful upscale Hostel/Hotel.

We had a private room with a bathroom. Tje bes was extremely comfortable. We lived being able to cook dinner and breakfast in the large and well stocked communal kitchen. I highly recommend staying here.

Basic but comfortable

Nice and clean room, within easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. We had the king bed room with private ensuite which was very basic, but comfortable enough for our one night stay.
Jacqui, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was compact, comfortable large bed. Air conditioning in communal areas but not in bedroom, able to borrow a fan from reception. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Eric’s one night stay in Wanaka

This place made me think I was in rehab. Its very institutional and devoid of any kind of decorative flare to make you feel welcome. The room had nothing except a bed, a useless dresser, and a bare lightbulb over your head. The bathroom and sink were tiny. I don’t mind bare bones hostels but this was not worth the money they are charging. 6/10
Eric, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was very central, the room was clean but small with few amenities. Quite expensive but I have no comparison with other nearby properties
Sarah, 1-night trip

There is a night clumb nearby and the base of the music can be heard until the early hours of the morning.

Donna, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed here (4 adults) for a night and had a quad room. Quite happy to have multiple options for dining just around the corner. This property does not have it's own parking but can park on any of the surrounding streets (free parking). Walkable distance to the lake and a supermarket right beside the property. Overall was a lovely stay. Will highly recommend.

Tussie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Value for money. This was a couple room with private bathroom. Very basic things very there like soap, towels and shampoo. They have separate kitchen for everyone if any one need utensils or cooking related amenities . Kitchen is all the way down and a bit confusing location. The don’t have parking
Ishan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

For the nightly price, the room facilities were poor compared to motels. No air con in private room.

Perfectly situated in Warnaka.
Martina, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall good stay. Appreciated a plug in and additional cord charging port. The chill space being separate from the TV space was appreciated. The kitchen was strange. You had to ascend the ground floor to first floor steps, walk partway across the property, and then go down another set of stairs. A lot of space to cook in the kitchen, as well as dine and relax. Wifi however was mediocre at best so if you’re needing to use it, I would look elsewhere.
