This was our second time staying at Lakeside and it was just as wonderful. These apartments are spectacular. The units are HUGE with a large living/dining area, a full kitchen and separate bedroom and bath. For larger groups, an additional 1-2 bedrooms and extra bathroom can be opened up. We also appreciated having a full-size washer and dryer in the unit and one dedicated, covered parking space.
We stayed on the second level and had great views of the lake and mountains (views from the 3rd level are even better!). The large balcony was a great place to have a glass of wine at the end of the day and we really enjoyed soaking in the hot tub down by the pool area in the evenings after all of the kids had disappeared.
The living room had a very comfy couch and a huge TV which we enjoyed during the one rainy day of the five that we stayed. The kitchen was very well-stocked and we appreciated the coffee/tea items and cookies.
The location is perfect, right in town and a short walk to many restaurants and the lake itself. We highly recommend Lakeside and will definitely return.

Located on the lakeside and in the centre of Wanaka’s hub, Lakeside Serviced Apartments were truly fabulous. Huge rooms, with a fully fitted kitchen, lounge area, and a big balcony which had a table & four chairs plus two sun beds. There is an on-site swimming pool and guest BBQ facilities too. The bed linen was crisp, the towels were fluffy, the view was amazing! The room was very clean and serviced daily. Air conditioning was invaluable during our warm & sunny stay, though there is a fire in the lounge for cooler evenings. For families, the ‘Dinosaur Park’ is located directly opposite, and the washing machine & tumble drier are an added bonus. Highly recommended!

Our Lakeside Apartment was beautiful, spacious and very comfortable indeed with a spectacular view over the lake and mountains. Parking and check in was straightforward, and the reception staff friendly and helpful. The location is very central in Wanaka, which is a charming small town, so very easy to walk a few minutes to bars and restaurants. But self catering was equally a pleasure as the apartment kitchen was equipped to a very high standard with top quality appliances and everything one could possibly need for dining in style. We didn’t make use of the pools ourselves but they looked lovely. Wanaka is well worth a visit, much nicer than overcrowded Queenstown. And the Lakeside Apartments are definitely the place to stay, highly recommended.

We stayed in a premium apartment and enjoyed every minute. The apartment was spacious and comfortable. An in room washer and dryer along with included laundry detergent provided the perfect opportunity to catch up on cleaning dirty clothes.
Onsite assigned covered parking was provided. The apartments are walking distance to restaurants and shops. So no need to use your car unless travel out of the downtown area.
The staff were friendly and efficient. Taking on many tasks to make sure your stay was perfect. Kay and Warren made for an incredible team. Although I must admit Warren played more of a supervisor role.
The Lakeside Apartments make are a perfect place to stay when visiting Wanaka.

Great base for skiing at Cardrona for two nights! We loved the convenient location and the ability to walk in to town. The apartments are well appointed with a large living space and outside deck. There is a 4 Square small supermarket and liquor store around the corner if you wanted to walk to get essentials or two good NW supermarkets in town. The staff were really helpful during our stay. When one of our kids managed to leave airpods in the room they were found quickly and available at reception. Would definitely recommend this as a place to stay in Wanaka.

The location, apartment layout and cleanliness are excellent. The staff well suited for their jobs. The pricing was a little higher than similar properties but when the amenities and quality of service were compared, the extra cost was well worth it.

Large apartment catering for up to 6 people in 3 bedrooms. The bedrooms & bathrooms not required (and not paid for) are locked which is fair enough. The main area is a large open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area, comfortably seating 6. There is a separate laundry area which was handy. The kitchen is very well equipped, the bed very comfortable and the shower lovely. There is a balcony with outdoor dining for 6 with a lovely view over the pool and the lake. All staff very friendly and helpful. Each apartment has its own garage space. The apartment was quiet and is well located for the many shops and restaurants

Stayed at this property during our trip to New Zealand. Located on the front overlooking the lake this is an exceptionally well equipped room offering full self catering capabilities as well as laundry. All rooms have a superb balcony and access to the communal pool and outdoor barbecue area. It is within easy walking distance of the town with its several bars and restaurants. It is also well maintained with full room service daily. Definitely recommend for those staying in Wanaka.

Uncertain initially as to what to expect having booked on line from 5,000 kms away, we were absolutely delighted by the property, it’s location and our spacious and comfortable apartment equipped with anything one could possibly need. The views from our bedroom, living area and balcony were absolutely fabulous with the shimmering waters of Lake Wanaka surrounded by snow-capped mountain peaks. Immediately below we could look down on the blue heated pool, spa, children’s pool and hot tub. Luxury! The staff were welcoming and helpful making our stay a delight.
