We were on the third floor, the view was stunning and the apartment was fabulous, it was enormous for 2 people, fab kitchen, fab bathroom, lovely having a bedroom with a view as well. sunbeds on balcony. Right in the village centre, loads of places to eat, but we went for the balcony and self catered. Fabulous and worth every penny.

Room tip: water facing apartments, higher the better

Thank you for your review of Lakeside Apartments.

They certainly are large apartments, especially for two people, as all apartments are configured as three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and we lock off two bedrooms and one bathroom when there are only two guests. Thus the living, dining and kitchen area which are spacious enough for six people, feel extremely spacious for two.

Thanks again for your review and we hope you are back with us again in the future.

Lakeside Apts. is a TWENTY unit hotel. Every room/unit has a view of the lake (every room/unit faces the lake- there aren't any rooms that face the back). Every Room/unit has a very large balcony. Those on the ground floor have a glass barrier around them with a heavy glass "gate" with a child proof lock. There are about five steps down from this area to the pool area/street level.
We were on the first floor and close to the pool - as it was raining we did not incur any pool noise - but I suspect if the weather is warmer - and you want quiet - then you should make sure to get a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor.
The Master Bedroom faces the lake - the other rooms are at the back of the unit.
There are two bathrooms. Each bathroom has a tub and a standing shower.
The hotel is also located on a road that is busy during the day - but we never heard any traffic at night.
The other plus is that hotel is just a five-minute walk from the heart of town with lots of restaurants and shopping.
As other reviewers have said - the place is kept incredibly clean and is nicely decorated.
The Washing Machine/Dryer was a plus -as was the well-outfitted kitchen. The Free Wi-fi was quite good.
Everyone working at the hotel was helpful and friendly.
As far as I am concerned this is the only place to stay in Wanaka.

These apartments were absolutely spot on. We had a wonderful corner apartment with great views over the lake and mountains. We enjoyed cooking our own meal using the excellent facilities and as there was a washer and dryer we could also clean our clothes - really handy 2 weeks into a 3 week trip!

It was easy to walk to the bars and restaurants. The pool was warm enough to swim and we could continue to enjoy those fantastic views.

Finally, as well as the service being fantastic, when they found out it was our honeymoon we were given a bottle of bubbly which was a very generous touch!

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Lakeside Apartments.

Yes the corner apartments are truly spectacular with their wrap round balconies. Allowing views across the lake and to the spectacular mountains beyond. As all our apartments face the lake, you can't really miss the amazing views, no matter what the weather throws at us.

We heat the outdoor pool, except in the winter, so guests are still enjoying a leisurely swim even though there is often an autumnal chill in the mornings these days.

We hope you had a wonderful honeymoon at Lakeside Apartments and hope to welcome you back when celebrating your anniversaries in years to come.

Truly excellent, very spacious apartment, well designed with quality fittings and your own laundry room in the apartment. Full length, heated swimming pool which was just lovely.Easy walking distance to restaurants.
Just wonderful. A real highlight of our New Zealand five week tour.

After mostly staying in studio hotel rooms during our tour of the South Island, this was a welcome change. Our one-bedroom apartment was spacious and well-equipped; we could have hosted a party of 15 people. It had everything we could have wanted. We especially liked the free in-room laundry, which came in handy in the middle of a three-week trip. My wife is very demanding regarding swimming pools, and she loved this one. She was able to swim laps with no interruption, and the water temperature in mid-February was perfect. Our experience with wifi in New Zealand was spotty, but the wifi service here was excellent. After parking our car in a covered garage, we could walk everywhere we wanted to go. The apartment complex is right next door to a coffee joint, and five minutes from several good restaurants. Our Eco Wanaka tour was about a ten minute walk away. Factor in the gorgeous view of the lake and the reasonable price, and this was not only the best place we stayed while in New Zealand, it was probably the best hotel we have stayed anywhere.
