Aspiring Lodge Motel
8.5 (65 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."

Adventure Wanaka Hostel
8.9 (20 reviews)

Adventure Wanaka Hostel ★★★

📍 56 Brownston Street, Wanaka

"The kitchen is clean, bright, and spacious, with excellent hygiene. It's a 5-minute walk from the lake. There are plenty of shops nearby, including a supermarket. It's a beautiful town that brings joy and relaxation."

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

Alpine View Lodge
9.1 (38 reviews)

Alpine View Lodge ★★★★

📍 23 Studholme Road South, RD 2, Wanaka

"The room decor was very cozy, making it feel like the owner once lived there. The location is a bit out of the way; you definitely need a car to get to the town center. However, the kitchen is fully equipped, which is quite convenient."

Oakridge Resort Lake Wanaka
8.8 (206 reviews)

Oakridge Resort Lake Wanaka ★★★★

📍 20 Studholme Road, Wanaka

"Like a warm home, clean, hygienic, quiet, and comfortable. The service is also great."

Edgewater Hotel
9.0 (439 reviews)

Edgewater Hotel ★★★★

📍 Sargood Drive, Wanaka

"Facilities: The selected suite had excellent facilities, including cooking amenities, a dishwasher, and a washer-dryer combo. Service: I stayed for two nights, and it's clearly a very popular place. On the first night, I was assigned room 301, which, as shown in the picture, had a corner window directly facing the parking lot. The next morning, I spoke with the front desk attendant about changing rooms. Since they were fully booked, I was eventually moved to room 703, which faced a small pond. They even left a thoughtful card and some chocolates. Overall, the hotel environment was good. It's a short walk to the Lone Tree and an acceptable distance from the town center."

"We stayed at a motel in Wanaka. The owner was very welcoming during check-in, explaining the surroundings and the supermarket's location, which made us feel right at home. The room facilities were great, and both the bathroom and kitchen were spacious. So we bought some groceries and cooked a delicious dinner. Overall, it was a good experience. Recommended!"

Mishika Retreat and Lodge Hotels in Wanaka

Mishika Retreat and Lodge

"My husband and I had the pleasure of staying in the Sanctuary Suite at Mishika Retreat and Lodge for 3 nights in July 2026. Given this accomodation had only opened for approximately 6 weeks, there were limited reviews, so we booked this without much expectations. However, we were incredibly surprised and thus I wanted to be one of the first to leave a full proper review myself. Immediately upon arrival we were warmly greeted by the host, Abhishek, who gave us a tour around the house as well as many tailored suggestions on how to best spend our time in Wanaka, including hikes, places to eat and things to do. We then spent the following days having ongoing wonderful conversations with him and his team as they were always around to be a friendly face, work and have lovely chats. Honestly speaking, this is one of the loveliest accomodations I’ve ever stayed in, to the point that I would happily live here for the rest of my life. Unlike other accomodations which provide the barebones for travel (ie bed, bathroom, amenities and room), it is clear that Abishek and his team have poured their heart and soul into making Mishika Lodge a true “home away from home” experience. As a guest you can choose to rent a room or the entire lodge, but regardless, you have full access to the lounge, dining room, kitchen, entertainment room, garden, hot spa (readily heated to 39C!) and pool, all of which are shared spaces for guests at all times so that you aren’t confined to just relaxing in your room. For instance, you can curl up in front of the fireplace with your book, cast your videos onto the TV, or eat your meal at the kitchen bar like home. Our room itself was extremely comfortable - the bed, pillows, heating, fan, bath were all perfect. In terms of convenience, there is free parking on the property, free use of the washing machine and dryer, and it is only a 3-4 minute walk into city centre. Abhishek would also respond to any questions we had over WhatsApp within minutes which was fantastic. Lastly, one of their workers, Lisa, would typically be around in the mornings in the kitchen to bake fresh goodies for the guests, so it was a delightful surprise to have pancakes in bed (albeit an exception) on one of our mornings! All in all, I felt extremely grateful for the experience we had. It’s an unusual feeling to be so excited / look forward to returning to your accomodation to “enjoy” it after a day of exploring but I certainly felt that way about Mishika! We will return to stay over and over again without a doubt and be recommending it to all friends and family. Thanks again, Fiona & Jordan"

Clearbrook Motel & Serviced Apartments Hotels in Wanaka

Clearbrook Motel & Serviced Apartments

"Location: Not by the lake, but very close to the food truck area, just around the corner. Popular slow-cooked beef and lamb, and bagels are all within a two- or three-minute walk. Walk along the road in front, passing various shops, and you'll reach the lake in ten minutes – very convenient. A small stream flows in front, and ducks roam the lawn. All rooms have balconies, and the ground floor is a lawn. The rooms are spacious with high ceilings. Children love this accommodation. Parking is allocated by room number and is ample. The front desk has closing hours; please contact them in advance if you are arriving late."

Aspiring Lodge Motel ★★★
"The hotel's location is excellent, right next to a supermarket and very close to Lake Wanaka. The rooms have a kitchen, which is great for cooking simple meals, and there's plenty of parking. My only complaint is that they don't provide slippers or toiletries."

Te Wanaka Lodge ★★★★
"This hotel offers free parking, which is a huge plus. During New Zealand's winter, the heating lamp in the bathroom makes it feel much warmer, which is really nice. The breakfast was decent, and the yogurt was quite tasty."

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."

"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."

Haka House Wanaka ★★★★
"Wanaka itself isn't a big place, and Haka is considered one of the higher-quality hostels, plus it's very close to the town center. Even during holidays, the cleanliness is consistently good. Unlike the Haka in Queenstown, perhaps because there's more space here, the accommodations are individual buildings, whereas in Queenstown, the entire second floor is dorm rooms. However, there's a gravel path leading up to this Haka, which will definitely test your suitcase wheels! Overall, it's pretty good. You can walk right out to stargaze at night and then quickly hop back into bed."
