Top Wānaka Hotel Reviews

Wanaka Hotel

Wanaka Hotel

8/10 Good
"Location of the hotel is excellent about a 2 minute walk to town. The room was nice and clean and having the direct access to the garden was great. However the ceiling is thin and the upstairs guests were pretty loud."

Alpine Motel

Alpine Motel

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at Alpine Motel Wānaka. The room was recently renovated, exceptionally clean, and very comfortable. The beautiful mountain scenery made our stay even more relaxing, and having convenient parking right outside the room was a great bonus. What impressed us the most was the outstanding hospitality. Karen kindly went out of her way to arrange a higher-quality room for us and was thoughtful and caring throughout our stay. We truly appreciated her kindness and excellent service. The motel is in a great location, offering a peaceful atmosphere while still being close to everything in Wānaka. We highly recommend Alpine Motel Wānaka to anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, and welcoming place to stay. We would be delighted to stay here again on our next visit."

10/10 Excellent
"Great little place, a bit of a walk from the main hub of Wanaka, but felt quiet and peaceful. The place was spacious and clean, with great scenery around. Had a nice little patio and green space. Kitchen was adequate and had enough to cook simple meals. We had a great stay!"
