Reached a day late to check in as there was road closure due to the heavy snow at Lindis pass. Called the Motel and Mark our host, was very kind and assured us that the booking will be held on (which was supposedly 3 days 2 night). Mark was also very kind to fetch us from the bus drop off which was downhill as it was quite late and dark around 730pm. The motel is located uphill of a 10-15mins walk to the nearest restaurants and eatery near the lake. The room was cosy and enough for 3 person. Would definitely come back to Wanaka and stay with them for a longer period.
This is a highly recommended guesthouse/hotel. Check-in is self-service. It's a cozy villa with a small park outside the living room and a farm nearby. The scenery is beautiful. The guesthouse is clean and tidy, with a Nordic style, giving it a homey feel.
I had a very enjoyable stay at Alpine Motel Wanaka.
The location is very convenient, just a short walk to Lake Wanaka, cafes, restaurants, and shops, which makes exploring the town easy without needing to drive. The area is also quiet, so it’s perfect for a relaxing stay.
The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with useful facilities like a kitchenette. Parking was easy, and the overall setup is very practical for both short and longer stays.
Overall, a great value stay with a good balance of comfort and location. I would definitely consider staying here again.
The location is first-rate, the parking is convenient, and the boss is good. If you are late, you will put the key in the mailbox at the door and leave a note on the door.
