Beautiful View and great location in wanaka close to town
Pros:

Beautiful Location and beautiful view from our balcony! Room was clean, staff were friendly and informative! Easy check in experience and it was easy to park the car each day. Was able to park the car right next to room to which was lovely.

Cons:

The aircon seamed to be noisy in our room and the room next to us. I noticed this most on our first night and I could not sleep from the banging noise coming from them… this really took away from making the experience great. The restaurant for lunch was average, was expecting it to be a little more in terms of quality food.

Comfortable stay with stunning views. Ideal for families
Pros:

Location was an easy drive from centre of town and on the banks of the stunning Lake Wanaka. Incredible views from our ground floor room with direct access to lush green grounds. Easy 20min walking trail into town (perhaps a bit bumpy for a small pram, unsealed) and a 5 min walk to the tree in the lake. Rooms were roomy and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and happy to help with whatever we needed.

平平无奇，不要抱太大期望
Cons:

网上很多人推荐的酒店，说是出门就能看到孤独的树。提前了2个月预定的，也是本次行程最贵的一个酒店。满心期待，然而房间很小，床只有90公分，我们拿着20公斤大行李，说要一层的房间，给了门在一楼，进门后要上一个很窄的楼梯的房间，也是本次旅行住过最小的的房间。孤独的树在阳台前，但是有大树挡住，真的性价比超低，说实话挺失望的。而且孤独的树挺平平无奇的，反而是镇中心一点的湖景更好看。

Relaxed Wanaka location, good sized rooms with views of the lake/mountains.
Pros:

Great location, far enough out of town to have peace and quiet but close enough to walk to restaurants for nights out. Room was generous with washer dryer, essential when out in the winter weather. Views were good. Sauna and Spa tubs were fun and relaxing. Easy reach to ski fields, hiking, day trips to Queenstown. Had roast lunch with extended family, it was excellent.

Cons:

Buffet breakfast was good but not excellent, parking felt limited, we had to try and find parks elsewhere in the hotel car park, not fun in the driving rain, recommend dedicated parks for rooms.
