    We were amazed by the location near the lake with clean air, nice ambience in the Hotel Restaurant, with good food! I should have reserved 2 or 3 nights there. We booked 3 rooms all of us enjoyed it. Can swim, water activities and more.

    Wanaka is the most beautiful place to visit

    Wanaka is the most beautiful place to visit The views of the lake and surrounding area are really stunning. It’s seemed a really peaceful place with just enough to do. Plenty of eating out places to choose from and many activities and places to visit. We will definitely be back.

    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.

    From check-in to the requested later check-out accommodation, everything was outstanding. 5 of us in a 3-room chalet with a family room and kitchen. We were able to get 1 -1/2 weeks of laundry washed in the on-site laundry space. They had hot tubs up on a hill with a view, that we were sad we didn't have time to use. Close to Wanaka city center and walkable to some restaurants. The staff was warm, kind and so very helpful. Would recommend to anyone traveling to this lovely area and would return if we ever got back there!

    What a place! The apartment is stylishly designed, furnished to a high standard, well equipped and the hosts are fantastic. Kauri House Apartment offers a great place to stay in Wanaka. Bill and Noelene are kind, generous and hospitable hosts. Their level of hospitality is really over and above what you might imagine. And breakfast? Also superb. It really would not be out of place in a high end hotel. If you get the opportunity, you should book Kauri House for your stay in Wanaka - don't even hesitate a second!

    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.

    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.

    This apartment was wonderful! Spectacular views across the lake and mountains. There was so much space and the furnishings are to a high standard. It was great to have a garage to park the car. So nice to have a gas fire and plenty of heating to keep us warm. Jenny and the housekeeping team were really helpful and great to deal with. Very easy, short walk into Wanaka.

    I pretty much never do reviews. I travel throughout NZ & Aus staying in Motels & Hotels. The friendliness of the staff is outstanding. Room was good & what a fantastic view. Also booked a spa at sunset which was amazing especially with the view of the mountain range. Highly recommend the place.

    Although the hotel facade looked run down, the room was very comfortable and had a picture postcard view of Lake Hāwea. Food from the hotel was above average. Service staff were friendly. Would recommend this place if looking for somewhere to stay in the area.

    Lovely, private apartment at the back of the host's property. Around 20-30mins walking distance to the city centre, which is a beautiful walk. The street is safe and quiet. We enjoyed our stay there and can highly recommend.
