Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
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.

We spent one night at the Bella Vista Wanaka which is an easy walk to the town waterfront and restaurants and shops. We appreciated the dinner recommendation (Francesca's Italian) from the reception and also were grateful to have a washer/dryer on site. The room was clean and had a small kitchenette with both a microwave and a toaster.

I'd had my eye on this place when I had been in Wanaka before, because it was so close to beach and shops. It stood up to my expectations. I was in a studio with en suite. which was quite okay for me. It became a bit cramped with me finding enough hanging space for my clothes, and bags. A comfortable bed, tv worked. The unit was sort of under the outside stairs that led upstairs to other units and was dar k. I had to put a light on most of the time, but there were tinted windows and sliding door glass that somehow didn't show the interior of the unit from outside (daytime). Parking was wherever there was a space in the grounds but I usually got a space right outside my unit. The staff were lovely, answering my (silly?) questions. I stayed five nights and enjoyed myself. I would stay again, same unit

After BV Christchurch it was a little disappointing in terms of space and size. Everything looked little worn and brown …. Perfectly clean and nice welcome and advice given. 10% off at Speights if you show room key but that wasn’t great in terms of food. Just all very average - fine for our 1 night.

The worst motel we stayed in in NZ. We had room 1 - a tiny room and the place situated in a dark corner at the premises - difficult to have light into the room. Beds were not soft enough. WiFi very bad and in periods worse. The way how the kitchenette was made was a parody: the fridge door opens to the wrong side, so difficult to arrange and see anything in it; over the kitchentable there are 2 shelves/cupboards - but they are place so low, that it makes use of the table impossible - and the risk of slamming your head in the cupboard over the fridge is substantial - this is really done so ridiculous that you an not imagine. There are 2 knives, 2 spoons etc. - so you have to wash after every use (at other motels there are typically more than 2). Only good thing: location in the town is OK.

The Bella Vista is centrally located in Wanaka with easy walk to restaurants and bars. There is a view of the mountains from the room. The room was small with little room to walk around the bed. There was a decent sized bathroom with toiletries in bulk bottles. We had an upstairs room with a walkway to other rooms outside our door. There was no room to sit outside to enjoy the view.

It was a very small room with no area for our suitcases so it was a bit of a squeeze. However, it was perfect for our one night stay with off-street parking and the town centre (& lake) just a minutes walk away.

Our room was quite small but as expected and only for one night. It was clean, well appointed and on the ground floor which made access easy. The large bathroom was easy to use. Lovely thick towels supplied and good bed linen on the beds. Laundry facilities were available and extra towels if needed. Great location to walk to the shops.

The location a block back from the lake front with a walkway straight outside the front sells itself. We stayed here a couple of years ago had a great experience so re booked this time another great experience. See absolutely no reason to stay anywhere else in Wanaka.
