Aspiring Lodge Motel
8.5 (64 reviews)

Aspiring Lodge Motel ★★★

📍 16 Dungarvon Street, Wanaka

"Located on a city street, with various shops nearby. The front desk is staffed from 2 PM onwards. It's a 3-minute walk to Lake Wanaka, and about a 25-minute leisurely stroll to the Lone Tree. Enjoying the natural scenery along the way in the early morning is very pleasant and comfortable. If you want to stargaze at night, even walking to the nearby lake, you'll still be affected by the brightness of the streetlights. It's next to a large supermarket and a 5-minute walk to the food truck park, making it convenient for finding food. There are fewer parking spaces than rooms, so if the lot is full upon arrival, you'll need to park in a nearby park, and be mindful of the paid parking hours. The room has a sofa, a full dining table and chairs, a bar, and a basic kitchenette. However, the pot had food residue, which made us question the overall cleanliness of the utensils and made us hesitant to use them. The fixed showerhead in the bathroom was a bit inconvenient, and the room's brightness was dimmer than shown in the photos."

Edgewater Hotel
9.0 (437 reviews)

Edgewater Hotel ★★★★

📍 Sargood Drive, Wanaka

"The hotel boasts an excellent location, within walking distance of the famous 'Lonely Tree,' 'God Tree,' and the town center. The views from the room's window are simply stunning – truly a hotel for life! The facilities are comprehensive, including kitchenware, a washing machine, and a dryer. The room was spotlessly clean, and the hotel staff were incredibly friendly. They also offer services like bicycle rentals. While the breakfast selection wasn't huge, it was perfectly acceptable. Overall, this was the best hotel we stayed at during our New Zealand trip, and I would definitely choose to stay here again."

Hampshire Holiday Parks – Wanaka
8.6 (87 reviews)

Hampshire Holiday Parks – Wanaka ★★★

📍 212 Brownston Street, Wanaka

"The cabin is absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean and really comfortable! The views are amazing from the cabin windows - we were blown away and didn’t want to leave!!"

Oakridge Resort Lake Wanaka
8.8 (202 reviews)

Oakridge Resort Lake Wanaka ★★★★

📍 20 Studholme Road, Wanaka

"This hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and very clean. Housekeeping did a great job every day. The facilities were well maintained."

Archway Motels & Chalets
9.5 (163 reviews)

Archway Motels & Chalets ★★★★

📍 64 Hedditch Street, Wanaka

"Extremely satisfied! The family room had one king bed and two twin beds, with two separate rooms so everyone could sleep comfortably without disturbing each other. There was a heater inside and air conditioning outside. The kitchen was fully equipped with utensils and dishwashing tools, so we could cook our own meals. The front desk offered midday service where we could borrow cooking oil and salt, which was perfect for a self-drive trip. The hotel itself felt like a small park – very quiet with nice views and easy to find. If I visit Wanaka again, I would definitely consider staying here. Full marks! A special thanks to the front desk lady who lent us oil and salt! We were a bit rushed at check-out time, and she even helped us extend our check-out by a little bit, haha. Absolutely wonderful!"

Wanaka Hotel
9.2 (142 reviews)

Wanaka Hotel ★★★

📍 71 Ardmore Street, Wanaka

"The front desk staff were super friendly! ^_^ The location is really convenient, with food trucks just a 10-minute walk away. The room was well-equipped with both a fan and a heater, and the bathroom was great. I only stayed one night, but overall, it was a very pleasant experience."

Adventure Wanaka Hostel
8.8 (16 reviews)

Adventure Wanaka Hostel ★★★

📍 56 Brownston Street, Wanaka

"Great location, close to food truck and supermarket, and the heat pump really works"

Alpine View Lodge
9.1 (37 reviews)

Alpine View Lodge ★★★★

📍 23 Studholme Road South, RD 2, Wanaka

"This property was not what we expected and is not worth the price paid. After trying to contact the owner/reception multiple times via phone, message and visiting the reception at check-in, we made the difficult decision to stay else due the accomodation being poor and disappointing. The owner is not pleasant or understanding to deal with once we finally got a response from them (after booking somewhere else - 2.5 hours after check-in). Driving into the property, you first see a shed/storage area full of clutter (as per photo). Walking into the room (Cardrona split level studio), the first thing we saw was a rusty old air con sitting outside (as per photo). There was also green electrical tape covering a switch (as per photo). The shower head was held up with hair tie. We are deeply disappointed by this accomodation. We would not recommend it to anyone wishing for an ‘alphine view’ stay."

Te Wanaka Lodge
8.9 (83 reviews)

Te Wanaka Lodge ★★★★

📍 23 Brownston Street, Wanaka

"Near to town. Staff are friendly. There is a delicious bagel shop nearby."

"It's about a three to five-minute walk to the lake, very close. There's also a large supermarket right next door, which is super convenient. It's a nice motel. Wanaka is absolutely beautiful!!!"

"Even though we didn't get a ground floor room, the lawn was absolutely beautiful and definitely worth the visit. The off-season price was also very affordable, highly recommend!"

Hampshire Holiday Parks – Wanaka ★★★
"This hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes' walk from Lake Wanaka. The only drawback is that transport in Wanaka isn't great, so if you don't have a car, you're pretty much limited to walking. It's a bit of a trek from the hotel to the supermarket and other commercial areas, which can be a hassle when carrying groceries back. However, the kitchen in the room is fully equipped, which was a huge plus. Overall, I was quite satisfied with my stay."

"Pretty good. It's by Lake Wanaka, the room is comfortable, and the walk to the lake offers beautiful scenery. However, the hotel itself doesn't have lake views."

Adventure Wanaka Hostel ★★★
"Parking was very limited; parking at another hotel across the street required walking a bit. The hot water in the bathroom was inconsistent, sometimes hot and sometimes cold. There weren't many seats in the restaurant, so we had to eat outdoors. Thankfully, we were given a lower bunk because we checked in very late. Overall, it was okay."

Alpine View Lodge ★★★★
"We stayed in the Minaret Room last week, and quite frankly, I wish Tripadvisor allowed zero—or better yet, negative—stars. This was by far one of the worst lodging experiences I’ve ever had. The room was a disaster: badly furnished, ice-cold, and with a non-functioning Wi-Fi connection. The space was cluttered with pointless, impractical furniture that seemed more decorative than usable—completely useless to any traveler with actual needs. It was freezing when we arrived. Nobody had bothered to turn on any heating in advance. When we finally figured out how to switch on the heater, it only made things worse: unbearably loud and utterly useless. It made noise, not heat. Sleeping there felt like camping in a badly decorated refrigerator. As for the Wi-Fi: it was advertised, but non-existent. I left a message with the lodge operator—radio silence. No callback, no follow-up, no fix. Clearly, guest comfort and basic services are not a priority here. My advice? Don’t walk—run—in the opposite direction. Stay anywhere else. This place is an overpriced embarrassment."
