Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
First time visit to Wanaka, bit concerned on arrival that it was up a very steep slope. We had a first floor room but access to the lower car park made things easier. Owner kindly didn't charge fir use of the laundry and a clothes airer wax available for drying on the sunny balcony and in the room overnight. Got excited to see egg cups in the cupboard nut neglected to check that there was nowhere to boil eggs until after we'd bought some. Didn't bother to complain, scrambled in the microwave was fine. Bit of an issue locking the door but easily sorted with a visit to reception.

We stayed here for one night having not booke anything in advance whilst on a road trip. Got a reasonable walk in rate from the very friendly host. Our room had a balcony which overlooked the town from above and afforded us great views of Lake Wanaka and the mountains beyond. Bed was comfortable and room well equipped with everything you need for a short stay. Our only criticism is the limited and patchy wi-fi and the fact that in full sun, the room became very hot as it did not have air con. This of course can be addressed by keeping the curtains closed but with a view like that, why would you?! We did thoroughly enjoy our stay.

This accommodation is conveniently located, only a stone throw away into the heart of Wanaka. We were able to walk to restaurants, the lake and nearby supermarkets between 5-15 mins.
Jenny at the reception was wonderful, she warmly welcomed us and gave us suggestions on where to go and what to do.
Our apartment had an amazing view of Wanaka. We chilled on the balcony and had breakfast there the next morning. Wifi was great as I had to make a 2-hour long zoom call the first evening. We slept very well, beds were comfy, kitchen was well-equipped, though we didn't get to take full advantage of it!
If I had to be picky, it would have been nice to have shower gel and conditioner provided as I didn't bring any on my trip and only shampoo was given in the bathroom.

Upstairs Family (one bedroom) Apartment. Beautiful view, light filled rooms, comfortable bed, great location, friendly accommodating hospitality. Stayed four days with friends in Family Rooms beside each other separated by 4-5 stairs making it super convenient. Definitely would stay again.

Fantastic location, really friendly staff, perfect family size units for our skiing holiday. Easy walk to restaurants and bars (uphill on way back but very manageable even for young children but would be tricky for elderly). Lots of parking, a laundry room for guests, drying area etc. The cleaners were fantastic, lovely to come back to the room after an early start to find the rooms serviced, beds remade nicely etc. Great to meet Jasmine and Sherlock, lovely place, highly recommend.

The place is nice... Good views and TV. Views over the lake and town. Close to town... Easy walk there. Beds were good... Lots of coffee and tea on offer. Bit pricey at 150 a night though for what you get.

Stayed here for 1 night while traveling through Wanaka. Ideally we wanted somewhere with good lake views and a balcony and while this was some way back from the lake it does have some good views from the balcony. It was comfortable and well equipped if a little bland. Also pretty good value for money.

Fantastic friendly service from Jenny. We originally planned to stay in Cromwell but due to the blossom festival and another sports event it was fully booked. We phoned Wanaka heights and she was waiting when we arrived around 9pm with a welcoming smile. Unit was comfortable and location great. Stayed an extra night .

I recently stayed at this motel and found the location to be perfect for walking down to the lake and getting into town.
The rooms themselves are a little tired and the fittings and fixtures aren't high end but for the price you get good location, large rooms with lake view, sky TV, kitchen/ cooking facilities and free wifi.
My only major gripe was the proximity to the very noisy main road. Between the noise from the road and people stomping away above me meant that sleep quality wasn't great which is always a let down.
Top tips: stay on first floor and request a room as far from the busy main road as possible.

We enjoyed our stay. The room was perfect for our family. The view was very pretty. Hotel is an easy slight up hill walk from town. The women that runs the hotel is very helpful and friendly. They also have laundry. Well equipped kitchen in the unit.
