We were amazed by the location near the lake with clean air, nice ambience in the Hotel Restaurant, with good food!

A wholesome town just outside of Queenstown.
A wholesome town just outside of Queenstown. I could've stayed here weeks. It was a great location to be based at for Roy's Peak Summit, more hiking and days spent by the lake. Bonus activity was a dinner and movie night at Cinema Paradiso. A really lovely town with a very live-able atmosphere.

Wanaka itself is a lovely spot.
Wanaka itself is a lovely spot. It was lovely without being too much of a tourist trap. The art gallery I visited was very good, and the two local restaurants also good and reasonably priced. The staff at the Thai restaurant were especially friendly and helpful. I wish I had stayed long enough to drive out to a few places from Wanaka.

Great place to spend week.
Great place to spend week. Central to other destinations , good weather, all year round activities, good shopping, lots of resurants, friendly locals and a short drive to Queenstown Airport. (they may have their own soon)
Very Friendly Hosts that came round to welcome us. the property is a self contained annexe to the house and private with its own patio and BBQ. felt very homely after travelling round NZ staying in motor inns and hotels. property had good nformation about things to do in wanaka and books on NZ. it had a washing machine so we were able to do our laundry (at no extra cost). It had all the facilities you would want. was so good we wanted to stay for a few more days, but unfortunately it was already booked.
Everything was perfect! Location couldn’t be better! A really cozy apartment with a fireplace for cold times and an A/C to fight the intense heat of summer. Excellent kitchen with everything one may need. Super good and modern shower. A deck with a wooden table and chairs with the lake view for meals outside. And of course a super friendly host!
Definitely the best hotel among all those that we stayed in during out trip on the South Island!
Decent place in the town centre, good price & value but the room could’ve done with some TLC. The heater was broken and there was a space heater but the room was still pretty chilly. Front desk lady was very friendly. Wifi was also pretty good, which was a nice bonus considering all the other places we’ve stayed had pretty shitty wifi. I’d stay here again if I was on a budget but I’d stay elsewhere if you could afford a bit more :)
Beautiful view over the lake; with snowcapped mountains behind. The room was very well appointed, clean and comfortable. The restaurant was a pleasant surprise, with a quite varied menu and good selection of wines. The food was excellent, and the service was very efficient. The hotel was unable to offer breakfast however were happy to give us information regarding the local cafe which had a breakfast service.
West Meadows of Wanaka surpassed all expectations, thanks to the exceptional warmth and friendliness of the host. Their dedication to ensuring a comfortable stay was truly remarkable, going the extra mile at every turn. The location couldn't have been better, with easy access to the city center and breathtaking mountain views adding to the charm. Highly recommended for an unforgettable experience in Wanaka.
We had a premium suite in a section of the hotel that had recently been refurbished. The quality of the decor and furnishings was very high and the lounge area had a beautiful view of the lake. The location was close to the lake and about a 20-25 minute walk to the centre of town.
Reception staff were friendly and helpful with advice about restaurants and activities.
Fantastic apartment with wonderful views of Lake Wanaka. It has everything that you may need including a small kitchen. Noelene and Bob are wonderful hosts and couldn’t have been more helpful and the breakfast that they provided out most hotels to shame. We are considering moving into their apartment permanently it was so good. we will be back.
The motel was exactly what we needed, we were a parent and two kids there for a winter skiing holiday. The motel was quiet, warm, clean and had the basic kitchen facilities we needed, to have a breakfast or make a snack. It represented good value for money. The reception staff were friendly and helpful.
Everything about this property is gorgeous from the location, setting and furnishings. It's a really lovely holiday for a family group and a nice change from the usual Wanaka hotel chains. And for nervous drivers, don't worry - it's a simple 20 min drive into beautiful Wanaka.
Arrived in the dark after 5 hour trek at Mt Cook. Appreciated everything about the hotel, especially beds. Being both tall we found the bath tiny, but still managed to have one. Left in the dark without seeing Wanaka, but would definately stay here again. Thank you!
Hotel is located just a short walk down to the lake. Across the road is where the food trucks are, which is actually a great alternative for an evening meal. Room itself is clean and warm, if a little small.
A very good location, walkable distance to Lake Wanaka and local shops! The staff was super friendly, respectful and helpful with everything. It's a busy hostel and well cleaned. Parking was easy to find.
Average 4 star hotel in convenient central location. Good for 1 night stay. Well priced. Fabulous view across lake to mountains from first floor Lake View room. Onsite restaurant and cafe.
Nice stately small lodge just outside of Wanaka with a spa and pool set in a nice garden. Full cooked breakfast was really nice and gave us a chance to chat with other guests.
