Pros:

The view from the room is excellent and the lake can be accessed from the property just few steps away also the famous wanaka tree.
We happily sat on the beach and enjoyed the beauty of the lake surrounding mountains and sunset

Cons:

I felt the charge for rental bicycle was little pricy.... you can easily buy one with the amount they charged for 1 hour

Beautifcul location on the lakeside. Nice large rooms, a little dated, but very functional. Excellent restaurant and bar, friendly staff. Sauna and hot tubs, self-service launderette which we found very useful. Parking near the room.
