Very pleasant stay!

Lovely stay. Beautiful lake view and the bed was super comfy. We had such a lovely time and the male receptionist who greeted us was very friendly and welcoming :) the only mention I could make is maybe installing heated towel rails as our towels didn’t have time to dry overnight but apart from that a very pleasant stay!

Awesome place

We stayed with another couple in a two bedroom two bathroom apartment. The location is fantastic, walking distance to town for coffee, breakfast, dinner and shopping, and right in the lake front for morning walks and runs. The apartment was clean, well set up and comfortable. It had a really homely feel to it and we enjoyed the kitchen facilities for having some meals in. Price was great too. Overall we highly recommend.

Overpriced and disappointing

We recently completed a family road trip around the South Island, staying at Maruia Springs, Franz Josef, Wanaka, and Hanmer. Our longest stay of the trip was 7 nights spent in Wanaka at The Moorings. At $430 per night the two bedroom two bathroom apartment was by far the most expensive accommodation of our trip. It was intended as a special treat after our holiday last year was cancelled due to Covid. The location was second to none but other than that it was disappointing and did not live up to expectations. One day into our stay Sky TV stopped working and when the technician came to repair it we found it replaced with smart TV apps that relied on subscriber services and high speed Internet. There were two All Black tests and a State of Origin game on during our stay that we wanted to catch so we were required to subscribe to SkySportNow. We did this only to discover that the advertised ‘high speed internet’ was not capable of reliably streaming the service. All games were glitchy to the point of being unwatchable. This was mentioned to management on our departure and we were informed they were aware of the issue and that fibre was being installed soon. No compensation was offered. Neither of the toilets flushed freely and required the user to flush up to three times after use. This was also mentioned on our departure. We booked a two bedroom family apartment. The large upstairs master bedroom with the views and ensuite, and was locked off on our arrival, had been converted to a queen plus single so we had to put the kids in there and stay downstairs in the much smaller guest room. The downstairs bedroom door had to be left slightly ajar or it rattled in the jam every time someone walked around upstairs. The downstairs bathroom had no lock on the door (which also would not close without slamming) and no facilities for sanitary products. My wife and both daughters had to resort to only using the upstairs ensuite bathroom. The bath was also in the downstairs bathroom, it would have been nice to be able to relax in the bath without worrying about someone accidentally walking in. The dining table was so wonky that you could not cut your food on it if someone had a drink on the table without causing the drink to spill. We had to go out and buy a carving knife, cheese knife, and tea strainer as none of these items were provided. The outdoor Bbq area was lovely but the lighting was broken so at night you could not see what you were doing and the stairs were very dangerous. The overall feel of the property was that it was a bit run down and badly setup. It was also very overpriced. We stayed in a beautiful two bedroom apartment in Hanmer that was bigger, more modern, better appointed, and only $285 per night. I would not stay at The Moorings again as the price was in no way reflected in the quality of the accommodation. There are better options available at that price point, or even for cheaper.…
