Loved the garden play area for the kids. Our room was very spacious, clean and the staff were so welcoming. We wished we were able to stay longer. We’ll certainly be back!
The room was super clean and comfortable but quite expensive
It’s ridiculous to have to pay for the hot tubs!
Especially for the cost of the room!!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We loved this large, modern room with kitchenette, large bath and balcony. It was up the hill from town, so much quieter and still an easy walk to town center. AC worked well and hosts were really helpful. We will stay here again!
Motel conveniently located to downtown Wanaka. It's a short 5 minute walk to the lake so you can get to everything but still have peace and quiet in the evenings.

Archway Suites in Wanaka is within walking of lake and downtown area. Family studio is perfect for a family with 2 kids. Bathroom is modern and stylish. Kitchenette is very clean and convenient, with needed supplies. Staff was extremely helpful, and we were able to get early check-in. We liked it so much we changed our other plans and stayed there again a week later as we passed through Wanaka!
