It's in the center of town but completely quiet. My room looked out on a pretty garden. The location is superb! And I loved the restaurant!
Nothing really, it's an older building so all the nips and knobs are not shiny but they are fine.

Good location with cafes, shops and retaurants within a couple of minutes walk. Great price for a short stay between towns.
There were issues with the phone lines in the hotel, and this was never disclosed upon check in. When we spoke to reception staff about this they seemed to not care that we were unable to contact reception or make any calls, and one receptionist didnt offer any appology or solutions to the issue. Disapointing customer service. The sound proofing was poor and could hear people talking and yelling in the hallways.

Location
It was so old and dated. I get the impression that because of the location they feel there no need to update the facility. Such a shame.

Very nice hotel located in the heart of town. Our room had a view overlooking the lake so felt very private. Great location for walking into the shopping and dining area. We also liked the well-stocked shared kitchen area for guests, as we used it for making breakfast the following morning. It was convenient to have the mall grocery store directly across from the hotel. After walking around town we ended up eating at Amigos Wanaka, attached to the hotel. The food was very good and the service was exceptional, despite being very busy.
The parking area was a bit confusing and clustered, as it shared with a pub next door. Access to the room with luggage did require a number of steps but was manageable. There was a large group visiting when we were there and they were quite loud in the common lawn behind the hotel late at night. While that’s not the fault of the hotel, it’s something to consider if you have a room with a balcony overlooking it.
