The hotel is situated in a great area of Wanaka, close to local shops and eateries. The rooms are cozy and clean, but the 2-bedroom option might be a bit small.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the view from the room was nice, the 2-bedroom accommodation felt small and lacked facilities. The service was satisfactory, with laundry and tours/ticket assistance available. The location was convenient, directly across from a big park. However, the dining options were limited to just bacon. Overall, the facilities were basic with very little to offer.
