Aspiring Lodge Motel
8.5 (66 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

"Really good value for money, well located in Wanaka, clean, well run, the staff were very knowledgeable on the local area and helped with daily activity ideas. The rooms were a little on the small side, bathrooms nice clean, kitchen was cleaned and well stocked. Overall good value for money and Wanaka is a great place to stay."

Te Wanaka Lodge
8.9 (86 reviews)

Te Wanaka Lodge ★★★★

📍 23 Brownston Street, Wanaka

"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
9.3 (40 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
8.9 (210 reviews)

Oakridge Resort Lake Wanaka ★★★★

📍 20 Studholme Road, Wanaka

"The room was nice and even had a kitchen. The yard was huge, and the hotel facilities were quite complete. Definitely recommend it."

Edgewater Hotel
9.0 (446 reviews)

Edgewater Hotel ★★★★

📍 Sargood Drive, Wanaka

"The hotel has a washing machine with a dryer, which is perfect for travelers who need to do laundry on their trip. The surroundings are also absolutely stunning, with a large lawn right outside the door, and a lake just beyond the lawn. It's also very close to the famous 'Lonely Tree' photo spot."

"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"

Alpine Motel Hotels in Wanaka

Alpine Motel

"The location is very good. There are several supermarkets within a few minutes' walk. The front desk staff is very helpful. It is a motel, so it is noisy in the morning and evening."

Wanaka View Motel Hotels in Wanaka

Wanaka View Motel

"This motel has to be one of the best locations in Wānaka, an easy walk to restaurants shops and supermarket. The motel is located across the road from a large park, looking out to the lake, the units are extremely warm and well appointed. The owner is on site and readily available for anything you might need or any local information. This is our second stay at this motel and will definitely be back!"

Walnut on Russell Hotels in Wanaka

Walnut on Russell

"Walnut on Russel is a home in Wanaka! The lodge is more polished and modern in person than in the photos. It takes 5-8mins walk to the town center. The floor, linens, and cutleries are super clean and tidy. The washing machine and the dryer are also in good condition. Hayley, the manager, is really warm and kind-she even offered to give me a ride to the lakefront bus stop. Staying here definitely has exceeded my expectations!"

"The room was nicely decorated, and what was particularly great was its proximity to the park—a 4-minute walk to the Lonely Tree and about a 20-minute walk to the center. The host was very welcoming and recommended a great barbecue restaurant, as shown in picture one. The room was a little small. Wanaka is absolutely gorgeous."

Alpine View Lodge ★★★★
"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."

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."
