Aspiring Lodge Motel
8.5 (66 reviews)

Aspiring Lodge Motel ★★★

📍 16 Dungarvon Street, Wanaka

"Located on a city street, with various shops nearby. The front desk is staffed from 2 PM onwards. It's a 3-minute walk to Lake Wanaka, and about a 25-minute leisurely stroll to the Lone Tree. Enjoying the natural scenery along the way in the early morning is very pleasant and comfortable. If you want to stargaze at night, even walking to the nearby lake, you'll still be affected by the brightness of the streetlights. It's next to a large supermarket and a 5-minute walk to the food truck park, making it convenient for finding food. There are fewer parking spaces than rooms, so if the lot is full upon arrival, you'll need to park in a nearby park, and be mindful of the paid parking hours. The room has a sofa, a full dining table and chairs, a bar, and a basic kitchenette. However, the pot had food residue, which made us question the overall cleanliness of the utensils and made us hesitant to use them. The fixed showerhead in the bathroom was a bit inconvenient, and the room's brightness was dimmer than shown in the photos."

Walnut on Russell Hotels in Wanaka

Walnut on Russell

"Walnut on Russel is a home in Wanaka! The lodge is more polished and modern in person than in the photos. It takes 5-8mins walk to the town center. The floor, linens, and cutleries are super clean and tidy. The washing machine and the dryer are also in good condition. Hayley, the manager, is really warm and kind-she even offered to give me a ride to the lakefront bus stop. Staying here definitely has exceeded my expectations!"

Wanaka View Motel Hotels in Wanaka

Wanaka View Motel

"This motel has to be one of the best locations in Wānaka, an easy walk to restaurants shops and supermarket. The motel is located across the road from a large park, looking out to the lake, the units are extremely warm and well appointed. The owner is on site and readily available for anything you might need or any local information. This is our second stay at this motel and will definitely be back!"

"The room was nicely decorated, and what was particularly great was its proximity to the park—a 4-minute walk to the Lonely Tree and about a 20-minute walk to the center. The host was very welcoming and recommended a great barbecue restaurant, as shown in picture one. The room was a little small. Wanaka is absolutely gorgeous."

Hampshire Holiday Parks – Wanaka ★★★
"This hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes' walk from Lake Wanaka. The only drawback is that transport in Wanaka isn't great, so if you don't have a car, you're pretty much limited to walking. It's a bit of a trek from the hotel to the supermarket and other commercial areas, which can be a hassle when carrying groceries back. However, the kitchen in the room is fully equipped, which was a huge plus. Overall, I was quite satisfied with my stay."

Haka House Wanaka ★★★★
"Wanaka itself isn't a big place, and Haka is considered one of the higher-quality hostels, plus it's very close to the town center. Even during holidays, the cleanliness is consistently good. Unlike the Haka in Queenstown, perhaps because there's more space here, the accommodations are individual buildings, whereas in Queenstown, the entire second floor is dorm rooms. However, there's a gravel path leading up to this Haka, which will definitely test your suitcase wheels! Overall, it's pretty good. You can walk right out to stargaze at night and then quickly hop back into bed."
