    The style of this apartment was a little surprising at first and some of was a bit strange to the older members of the group but you have to admire the attention to detail and quality. We left feeling it was a fun and comfortable space, which was very different from the grey motel rooms we had stayed in - which had got to be good! We loved the huge kitchen space and the pool area is lovely.

    This is a beautiful old “motel”-style property overlooking Lake Hawea. It’s nice and quiet and short drive from the hustle and bustle of Wānaka. The rooms are generous, as is the view. On-site cafe/ bar is nice too.
