    The lake frontage with stunning views of the mountains and lake and choices of eateries catering for vegetarians Good parking but roadworks made it difficult at times to get around Would recommend the Big Fig for vegetarians and Charlie Brown for great crepes

    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.

    We spent two nights in this spacious, comfortable, private and beautifully fitted out loft apartment. Our hosts, Claire and Jim, were warm, friendly and helpful. Claire has thought of everything you could possibly need. The breakfast supplies were varied and generous. The home baked blueberry slice awaiting us on our arrival was delicious. The view from the bed and the verandah of snowcapped mountains and Wanaka Lake was superb. The accommodation's location was perfect for us... an easy five minute drive to the middle of town.

    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.

    Great studio living with everything you needed for a relaxing holiday. Bonuses were: the equipped kitchen (hob, pans, toaster, kettle, microwave, small fridge), I was thinking a small kitchenette but was happily surprised; the private lawn space to chill outside; the great shower water pressure. We knew the location wasn't in town but that suited us fine. I would choose this accommodation again over a hotel or lodge in the same price range.

    Pembroke Lodge was very comfortable for our whole family to have an incredible stay in Wanaka. The lodge is really well positioned only a few minutes walk from the town centre and a minutes walk to the waters edge. The rooms are big and bathrooms and kitchen are really well appointed. Parking right out front is an added bonus. Pembroke Lodge is an excellent size with great facilities for a beautiful stay.

    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 were at room 16 which is the corner room above reception so was fairly quiet with the aspect of only 1 room beside us and no other level above us. Reception staff was easy to dealt with and easy checkout. Location is prefect for us as we were coming from and going to the Recreation Centre for competition. Room is good size for a small family of 3-4 people for short stay. Clean and tidy.

    Beautiful lake view, the balcony and the star gazing at night. Comfortable beds, clean hotel room. Heater was left on arrival, the girls appreciate the chocolates. The restaurant meals were delicious and good quality, great customer service and we got free drink vouchers.We appreciate an email notification regarding ongoing road work outside the hotel.

    Our room was very spacious, clean and comfortable with parking at the door. We had only an overnight stay but views of the lake were superb. We arrived after reception closed but had very prompt answers when we called to let the hotel know we'd be arriving late. Very friendly staff. Would stay here again.

    The view was very nice. We could see the Wanaka lake from the room's balcony. The hotel seems to have all the facilities you need. We visited in February so it was a bit warm so the hotel provided us a fan which helped us at night. The bathroom had a heater which was nice for the cold morning.

    Wanaka luxury apartment is in the quiet end of Wanaka and a 5 minute stroll through the park to the famous Wanaka lake and Wanaka tree. We were there in spring and the entire road is covered in cherry blossom trees in full bloom.
